Pet care experience

Dog Mum ~ WFH & Loves Animals! 🐾

Hi there! I’m a devoted animal lover with a calm and caring nature, and I truly enjoy spending time with animals of all kinds! I’ve had both dogs & cats my whole life (also a couple of bunnies, hamsters, & birds🙃). I have an 14 year old son who absolutely loves animals! We have a 15 1/2 year old Cocker Spaniel, and my best friend who lives next door has a 3 year old boxer/husky mix who comes over almost every day. 😊 I know just how much love, attention, and fun our furry besties need and deserve! 💗 I’d be thrilled to have the chance to get to know your fur baby & become part of their day. I take pride in noticing the little things that make each dog unique, and I always make sure they feel safe, happy, and loved—just like they do with your family! 😍 Whether it’s playtime, a stroll through the neighborhood, or simply some comforting company, I’m here to keep your pet’s (young or old!) tail wagging. I’d love the opportunity to meet you and ensure your furry family member(s) are safe & happy while you’re away!

Dayna is an angel! She cared so well and was so patient with my giant breed crazy puppy. She kept me posted everyday with lots of pictures and details of their activities. I highly recommend her services.

Dayna was amazing with Arctic! She sent lots of pictures and kept him so busy that he slept most of the day when he got back! He’s deaf and takes medication, but Dayna handled both of those with ease. We’d love to have Arctic stay with her on future trips!

Dayna is awesome! We were very impressed with her and her space when we did our meet and greet before our dog boarded with her for a long weekend. She sent us updates throughout our trip and our dog was well cared for, thank you!

Schedule

I work from home with a flexible schedule which allows me the availability to help pet parents when they aren’t able to get home to their pets, need a loving temporary home while traveling, or just a drop-in visit or walk, and lots of loves. 🥰

Safety, trust & environment

I care for every animal as if they were my own -with lots of love, attention, and gentle care. I love every breed - some breeds I’ve owned include a Chihuahua, Labs, Golden Retrievers, Beagles, a Sheepdog, and a Bull Mastiff (who was the friendliest of all!!), as well as multiple mixed breeds, and currently a Cocker Spaniel. 🐶 Your pet will be well-fed, clean, comforted, and truly looked after while you’re away. If I’m sitting or dropping in at your home, I take pride in keeping things tidy and cared for, always aiming to leave things just as nice, or even better than I found them. Your pet’s happiness and your peace of mind are my top priorities! 😊

Pets

A typical day

I provide a safe and loving environment and offer space to run & play. I have a 14 yo son who’s grown up with my 15 yo Cocker Spaniel, as well as my beautiful cat who sadly left us a couple of years ago - so the energy level is there when needed, and calm when appropriate! We adore animals and engaging in lots of healthy & stimulating playtime. 😊
