Introduction: Ive been a veterinary technician for about 10 years. Taking care of animals has always been a passion of mine. I can help administer medication, such as; insulin for diabetics, giving subcutaneous fluids for animals in kidney failure, or something as simple as pilling your cat. (They can be quite difficult and stubborn!) I can also do simple grooming. Sanitary shaves, nail trims, anal sac expression and ear cleaning. Please reach out if you need any help with your pets!

This was the first time I used a pet (cats) outside of my family. They don’t come any better than Dana! She is extremely knowledgeable and so soothing, she made me as calm as she kept the kitties. I came home to clean pet areas, well fed and happy cats. She took the time to send me pictures and videos, and most importantly, she paid great attention to what I was nervous about and reported on that in particular. I can’t say enough about how well she does this, pet sitting…I know I made the absolutely perfect choice, for me and the cats

Dana was amazing with my cat Stormy! She has been shedding a lot recently and it’s always been difficult to consistently brush her. Stormy started to develop matting on her fur which Dana as able to brush out the matting without having to shave her. Luckily it didn’t get that bad yet. Dana was quick to respond to my request and luckily she was able to come by on short notice. She even gave Stormy a bath which is no easy task! I will definitely be reaching out to Dana again for grooming.

I had the most wonderful experience with Dana. I could not have asked for better. Gaia is a kitten, she's friendly and loving, and very attached. I had no idea what to expect. When Dana got to my home, she held her and made her feel comfortable. Gaia was not afraid, she accepted her kindness, while she got the job done. Dana clipped her nails, brushed out all her matted fur, gave her a nice bath, and restored her beautiful white coat. She actually loved the bath and sat in the warm water and relaxed. Simply put she was amazing, and I am forever grateful she was groomed in her house, where she was comfortable and at ease. I would DEFINITELY hire her again, and I totally recommend her to anyone who is looking to have their pets groomed where they are most comfortable. 5 Stars and more.

Dana is amazing. I absolutely will continue to use her. I have a feral baby and she is so scared of everything. I haven’t been able to pet her or groom her in 9 months, since I adopted her. After taking her to Dana to be shaved from a matted mess. It’s like I got a new cat, I’m able to pet her. It’s truly incredible and it made me cry. Dana broke the cats fear of people because she is so loving n caring. I cannot thank you enough. I think Molly is looking for Dana. She never goes to the bottom of our stairs because it’s a high traffic area n she’s sitting there in the open. Thank you Dana!
