Avid dog and cat enthusiast. 🐕🐈⬛
Pet care experience
I grew up with dogs and cats and have cared for a multitude of pets from tiny gerbils to large horses (and some dogs are built like horses so that experience comes in handy. 😉) Caring for animals is something I take great pride and joy in and if I can make a profit off of doing something I love, I consider that a huge win. I have lots of experience with house sitting and watching animals of all kinds, I even used to work on a farm so I also know how to take care of animals like turkeys, chickens, ducks, rabbits, and horses. I even have a TrustedHousesitters account with my partner and have done multiple housesits with her. In short, animals are kinda my thing. ☺️

Silna did not let my dog out for 12 hours and I had to request she be let out more often. While she was let out more often, I feel I should not have had to ask to make sure she was let out more than once in 12 hours. I am not sure what would have happened had I not been able to receive notifications whenever either of the doors were opened. She was not walked daily, and when she was walked it was for one 20 minute walk that day. Also, while it was not a bother to me because I could check in on my security camera and 99% of the time see my dog on the camera, I was not updated very often during my time away. Further, very rarely was my door locked when leaving the house. Even after reminding to lock the door, I still had to remotely lock the door a few times. Additionally, upon returning home, I found my house to be a mess. The shower was dirty and there were old food stains all over the kitchen. Also my dishes had food caked on them and my pans have scorch marks which were not there before. While I do not expect a spotless house when I return, I at least expect the house to be close to the level of cleanliness it was when I left. Which it was not. I am fairly laid back and feel this was taken advantage of.
Silna was very professional and did a good job watching our dog Gibson who is blind and doesn't like to be left alone. She was respectful of our property and worked well with our changing schedules. Will book again.
Silna was great with our pups. She is professional and very responsive. We appreciate all of her help!
Returned home to happy cats after a long weekend away. Thanks again Silna!

Safety, trust & environment
I care for pets in clients homes by following their schedule and habits that their owners follow. Whether that’s free feeding, scheduled feeding, daily walks, medications, or even things to look out for like seizures in older dogs. On top of it all, I pride myself on home care and always try my best to leave your home looking cleaner than it was when I arrived. I keep it all in mind in order to give your fur baby the best care and the most love.
Information Silna D. would like to know about your pet
Please let me know if your dog has any special needs requirements and/or behavior issues, such as reactivity to other dogs. This helps me to better care for your dog and keeps us both safer. If your dog is reactive to other dogs I will not accept the sit as I do not have experience with reactive dogs.
A typical day
I really enjoy going for walks and runs and dogs make great company. I usually go for a walk every day in my own neighborhood.
