Pet care experience

Experienced, Responsible Caregiver

Hi! I'm Dana. Dogs, cats and other animals have been in my life since I was a kid (which was a looooong time ago!) I currently have 2 dogs, 2 cats and a horse, and I have extremely high standards for who I trust with them; they're family, after all! I'm proud to provide the same level of care and concern to your animals too, whether it's on a walk or an overnight stay. My dogs have put me through the wringer! I have a ton of earned life experience dealing with behavioral issues, training, anxiety, injuries, medical care, and more. I regularly care for 14 equines and other farm animals on the 20 acre farm I live on in Allentown, NJ. Happy to provide references on request!

Pets

Safety, trust & environment

At present I'm not accepting pets for boarding at my residence, but that may change. I do accept requests for housesitting in the client's home as well as in-home visits for wellness checks, medications, walks and also just good old-fashioned dog-walking services. Training can also be provided upon request & discussion of needs.

Dana did a great job!! We have a 9 month old puppy and a nine year old fur baby. Both spoiled and stubborn but she managed them well and they love her! We have already booked her again!!

Dana is fantastic. I couldn’t be any happier with her care of my two dogs and the communication. She clearly knows her stuff and has a heart for animals. I will definitely use her again.

My 2 pups & cat were both happy & content after I was away for 3 night. Dana is reliable & has great communication. Not only took great care of our pets but also our home. Dana is patient w/nervous pups & went above & beyond to make pups comfortable. Very grateful to have found a great sitter

Dana took great care of our pup and 2 cats while we were away on vacation. It was obvious that she genuinely loves animals. She provided us with lots of updates and was very responsive and accommodating. 10/10 great service!

Dana is absolutely amazing with animals and is highly trustworthy. She is responsive, communicative, and so easy to work with. I am a picky dog mom and I trust her whole-heartedly, she treats my pets like her own. I don’t have a single worry when she is taking care of my pets. Highly recommend!

Dana is an exceptional care taker. She has been dog sitting for me for many years, even during the puppy days. I’ve never had a concern and have always come home to a happy, well taken care of pup. I’m a worrier, so it’s not easy to leave, but Dana did a phenomenal job of sending pictures and giving status updates through the whole process. She’s administered my dogs meds before, and has house sit with the pup when she had an injured leg and needed to take it easy. She also has two pups of her own that I was lucky enough to meet!! I would highly recommend Dana and will most certainly be using her services again!

Schedule

I work remotely out of my home and have a flexible schedule. This makes it fairly easy to accommodate your busy life. With new clients I like to have a conversation about your needs and timeline, but can usually accommodate most requests.

Cats
0 to 15 lbs
16 to 40 lbs
41 to 100 lbs
over 101 lbs
Dana can host up to 2 drop-ins per day
If your dog is reactive to people or other dogs, that's definitely helpful to know, as well as a few detail on how they usually walk on-leash. Do they pull? Do they know basic commands? Can they heal/loose leash walk? Just common sense info. Also any food allergies and whether or not you allow/request positive reinforcement training during a walk.
Each sitter joining Rover needs to pass a background check. And by booking on Rover, you can get photo & message updates, 24/7 support, and reimbursement for eligible vet care.
