Experienced, Responsible Caregiver
Pet care experience
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 and a horse, and I have extremely high standards for who I trust with them; they're family, after all! I'm happy to provide that kind 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!
Reviews
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!

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.
Information Dana Z. would like to know about your pet
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.
A typical day
I'm an active person and love to work with my own dogs on basic manners and life skills (sometimes called obedience). I'm a jogger, walker and hiker. Locally I like the UTT for walks with lots of interesting sniffs, but I can accommodate most needs.
Services
Dana can watch in your home
Availability
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.
