No better company than a dog
Pet care experience
I've had cats since I could walk, and I have had personal and professional experience as a dog trainer's assistant, along with a short term dog training internship. I care deeply about the care of animals and love working with others to make sure their pets are well cared for. I've always loved animals and taken care of neighbor's and friends pets ever since I was a kid, and as an adult I take pet care (especially for my own kitty baby) very seriously! I do a lot of research on animal enrichment for my own cat and I have my own special interest in dog enrichment and training.
Reviews
Lana has done many things for our fur children and household but the one thing they continue to do is offer peace of mind. I never have to worry if they're going to show up or spend enough time with my doggies and kitties - they are always reliable and always take care of our pets the same way we would. I appreciate the photos they send while with them, too! Our family is lucky to have Lana!
Lana is my go to caregiver for my pack! She is great with my cats and dogs and always provides me with thorough updates and pictures throughout her stay. I couldn’t recommend her more!
I trust Lana wholeheartedly with my pup Marmalade! Marmalade is a sweet rescue who I’ve had for years now but is still very wary of strangers. She absolutely loves Lana and I appreciate Lana’s patience and gentleness while caring for Marmalade when I am away. I will always recommend them to others in need of pet care and sitting!
Lana was super great with my pup and I’ll definitely try to have her watch her again!

Safety, trust & environment
When taking care of pets in others homes, pet parent instructions and routines are the most important for me. If you know something works best for your pet, then that's what we're sticking to! If your dog doesn't like the dog park, or doesn't do well meeting other pups, then we'll have a walk route that is a little more quiet. I want to work with you to make sure your bud would be getting the same care you would give them!
Information Lana C. would like to know about your pet
Let me know if your pet has any special dietary, medical, or behavioral needs! I am knowledgeable of most special pet conditions and if I don't, I am always up to learning the most I can.
A typical day
I love going for long walks with pups. As long as I'm prepared ahead of time with a big bottle of water and some training treats, we're good to go! I do have some medical issues that make me sensitive to heat but I'm still fairly capable.
