Pet care experience

I had two dogs of my own and have helped care for several friends' dogs. I have also volunteered at shelters, from walking them to playing with them. I've encountered all types of dogs - big and small dogs, social and less social dogs, trained or not trained. I am very patient and will never snap at your best friend. I am great at reading dogs' emotions and can tell if they are uncomfortable or scared. I have had experience at dog parks and know how to handle multiple dogs at once, whether it is friendly play or aggressive fighting. I am available all weekend and most nights from Monday-Friday, after 6PM. It is easy to get in contact with me, via phone or email. I work from home and have a huge space. I can watch after dogs and take them out a few times a day. There are a few dog parks by me so it’s very convenient to take them out and burn off some energy. I have one dog who’s very well-behaved and loves other dogs. I live in a building with several outdoor areas where I can take the dogs out to play. I am very attentive and know what the dogs need. So either in my own home and in my clients’ homes, I can easily learn about the dogs’ habits.

Ruby and Dana has a great time spending the weekend together! We'll definitely use Dana again for our future dogsitting needs!

Dana is someone you'll want to watch after your dog. She puts animals before herself and will care for them like they're her own. She lives in the city and it's easy for her to travel to you. She also responds very quickly with her schedule. I was able to ask Dana to watch after my dog when I needed to leave for a last minute trip. She updated me with pictures and notes and I really appreciated it.

Dana is extremely reliable and caring. She has had a dog of her own and has cared for several of her friends' dogs. She has also volunteered at animal shelters in her free time. Dana genuinely enjoys spending time with animals and I would trust her with my pet. Your pet will be in great hands with Dana!

Throughout my experiences with Dana, she has shown incredible ability to care for anything and anyone. She possesses compassion towards any living creature will do anything in her power to make sure that things are done right. I have seen how much she loves animals and there is no one that I would trust more than to care for them. Dana just has an affinity towards dogs in particular and has a knack for making them like her. I can tell you about how much she volunteers at dog shelters and such, but that doesn't tell the whole story. She has had experiences with dogs herself, as she had a Pomeranian Shih Tzu mix named Bear. He was a feisty fella, but Dana always bragged about him and always put up pictures of him on every possible social media. Dana is an incredibly responsible and trustworthy person. I can sit here and tell a thousand more stories about her love for dogs and how credentialed she is, but I know for a fact that anyone would be lucky to have her as a dog walker and she would love it even more.

Information Dana Y. would like to know about your pet

I want to know about all the special things that make your dogs who they are - for example, behavior, likes, dislikes, how they are with strangers, other dogs, children.

A typical day

I will try to take dogs to parks as it's more comfortable for them, compared to a busy street in NYC. If the dog is up for it, a quick fetch game will be fun. If the weather is nice, we can sit at a park and just enjoy the sun.
