About: IMPORTANT NOTE: On weekends, I am available to drive up to 60 miles. On weekdays, I can travel up to 30 miles. I am currently experiencing an issue with my calendar that incorrectly shows me as unavailable on weekdays, but this is not the case. Please read below for my actual available times. I have a lifelong passion for caring for animals, having grown up with both cats and dogs. I understand cat behavior well and can recognize when a dog is happy, anxious, or uncomfortable. My love for animals goes beyond pet care—I always stop to help if I see a lost dog because every pet deserves to feel safe and loved. I take pride in providing attentive, compassionate care to ensure pets feel comfortable and happy in my presence 💜 I work full-time at a law firm during the week but am available to look after your pet from 5:30 to 8:00 PM on weekdays. On Fridays, I get off work at 1:00pm so I’m available by 2:00pm then. On weekends, I’m ready to leave my house by 12:00 PM to dedicate my time fully to caring for pets—a passion of mine. While I’m not a morning person, spending hours with animals is a dream come true, and I’m committed to giving them the attention, care, and companionship they deserve. 😊 I have a fenced-in yard that was perfect for my beloved chihuahua, Pedro. As he got older and had difficulty using his back legs, my grandpa had a ramp installed so he could move up and down easily without struggle. I always prioritized his comfort—even on rainy days, I never let him out in the cold but instead gave him a space in the garage where he could stay dry. Caring for him taught me the importance of patience, compassion, and adapting to a pet’s individual needs. I bring that same level of care and attention to every pet I look after. 😊

“We had Dana come stay at our house and babysit our cat, Bella, for 5 days while we took a work-cation. I really like Dana, and we will definitely request her again. Here are a few reason why: 1) Our AC broke a few days before we were to leave but that did not bother Dana, she took it all in stride (thankfully, we did end up getting it fixed before we left). 2) Bella is not an easy cat to feed. She's a picky eater and can be somewhat of a pain when it comes to finishing her food. Dana was willing to work with Bella's "bad eating habits," which can honestly be a pain in the butt! 3) Bella knows how to do tricks so Dana took pictures of her tricks and sent them to me. This made me feel good, and let me know Bella likes Dana (Bella is skeptical of strangers). 4) We have bird feeders, bird baths, and even a bee bath that she kept full. 5) She watered our outdoor potted flowers/plants and they looked great when we came home. 6) Dana got our mail. 7) Dana left the house neat and tidy.”

“Adrianna is a wonderful young lady with a major soft spot for animals. She's stayed overnight in my home to take care of my cats and keep them company. They both love her, even the shy one. I've seen the way she treats both cats and dogs with love, adoration, and care. She loves animals, and they tend to love her back. On top of that, she is respectful, responsible, and absolutely trustworthy.”
