About Dana

Experience: 5 yrs

I'm a chatty, but calm person. I seem to get along with most animals upon meeting. I love to care for pets. I have many of my own but would love to help others. I was raised in an animal loving home. We kept pets of all kinds. Also, my mom is a zookeeper, giving me close encounters with animals. I have had 101 dogs (fostering). I keep a fairly open schedule to be as free as possible to help clients, too. Animals are a lifestyle for me. I have babysat pets since age 4, but began my shelter work at 12. My foster care began at age 13, and since I have had 101 fosters. I have given medicines, helped with behavior, cared in hospice, and even helped with births. I will be prepared for all situations. I also am very transparent, I give a rundown the day, behaviors, etc. I find this, my responsibility, plus, experience of 15+ years, and always being flexible, and communication would be my biggest strengths in pet sitting. Please contact me if you think we'd be a good fit!
