Pet care experience

Treating Your Pets Like Family🐾🩷

What sets me apart is my lifelong experience caring for animals and my genuine passion for their well-being. Since I was 5 years old, I've cared for dogs, cats, rabbits, turtles, fish, and more, giving me a strong understanding of different pets' needs and personalities. In the past 2 years I have been working at a dog wellness/ grooming center, where I've cared for dogs of all breeds, sizes, energy levels, and temperaments. I also previously volunteered with the Elmwood Park Zoo as well as a local cat shelter which helped deepen my knowledge of animal care and behavior. I'm comfortable caring for puppies & kittens , adult dogs & cats , and senior pets, and I understand the importance of patience, consistency, and following each pet's unique routine. Above all, I treat every pet as if they were my own, providing plenty of attention, playtime, affection, and care while their owners are away.

Lana did an amazing job with my boys. Very caring and attentive. She followed all instructions and I was at ease. Many photos were sent and I was informed of their daily activities.

Lana is amazing and it gave us such great comfort knowing she was taking care of our dog, Rocky, while being out of town! Awesome updates on what was going on and how Rocky was doing. Great communication and photos shared. Will absolutely book Lana again!

Lana did such a great job taking care of my 4 pets (3 dogs and 1 cat) ! I felt completely comfortable leaving them with her, and it gave me so much peace of mind while I was away. She kept me updated, and I could tell my pets were happy and well cared for. I’d definitely book with her again and highly recommend her!

I love to learn as much as possible about your pup before hand so I can be extra prepared . I'd love to know their routine, personality, favorite activities, feeding schedule, and anything that helps them feel comfortable and happy 🐶🐱. I also appreciate knowing about any medical needs, medications, fears, anxieties, or behaviors I should be aware of. The more I know ahead of time, the better I can provide a safe, stress-free experience and make sure your pet receives the same love, attention, and care they're used to at home.🩷
