I work full-time during the week with two days from home, but on the weekends, my schedule is completely open and I can ensure potty breaks every 1-2 hours. Just let me know what your dog’s needs are :) We sure can work it out.

Information Lana A. would like to know about your pet

I love (almost) every dog. Here are some of my favorite breeds: Maltese, Havanese, Pomeranian, Chihuahua, Shih Tzu, Dachshund, Jack Russell Terrier, Yorkshire Terrier, Pug, Corgi, Husky, Frenchie, Poodle, Bichon, Golden Retriever, Labrador, and many more...

A typical day

If your dog has sleepovers at my home, we’ll target to go to the beach, have long walks to State Street, and/or go on small hikes. If your dog spends a whole day with me, we will go on plenty walks in the neighborhood and State Street, play outside in our front yard, and/or just relax on the couch with lots of belly rubs.

Pet care experience

Hi, I’m Lana (short for Svetlana). I’ve always had a deep love for animals and genuinely enjoy spending time with both dogs and cats. While I don’t have a dog of my own, I’ve spent years caring for friends’ and neighbors’ pets, gaining hands-on experience with a wide range of personalities, including senior dogs who need a little extra patience and care. I understand every pet is different and adjust my care to fit their needs—whether that means a slower, gentler pace for senior dogs, active playtime for puppies, or simply keeping them comfortable and relaxed. I’ve also had the unique experience of walking dogs down the aisle at weddings and caring for them throughout the event, so couples can fully enjoy their special day. I stay calm, reliable, and confident in both everyday care and high-energy, special moments. It’s important to me that every pet feels safe, happy, and well cared for. I’d love the opportunity to meet your pup and give them the attention they deserve.

Lana was very attentive and easy to work with. Got plenty of pics of my pup having the best time at home and around town! Exactly the kind of care I'd hoped he'd get

Lana is so attentive to our 14 year old dachshund who requires a lot of love and specific medicine. He looks so happy in every picture!
