Customer Reviews

Danielle S.
Dayna was wonderful with our 2 dogs and cats! She wanted to make sure she did their normal routine and always went above and beyond. Loved getting pictures of our furry friends while away and updates on how they were doing. I would highly recommend Dayna for any pet sitting needs! She's awesome and came highly recommended from friends!

Morgan E.
In training our German Shepherd puppy, Ellie. She came to our home for weekly sessions and guided us through the commands we wanted Ellie to learn. She checked in with us multiple times per week to see how we were doing and if we had any questions. Her written instructional guide is very helpful in explaining all the commands when you are training with your dog. She has a passion for dog training and truly loves what she does!

Melissa Ann
We called Dayna to help us with our rescue pit mix Phoebe. Phoebe is reactive barking because she wasn't socialized well and potentially abused before we rescued her. Phoebe loves Dayna so much and looks forward to all their walks and time together. We are so grateful to Dayna for all her knowledge, kindness, communication and consideration. You can tell she really cares about the dogs and is passionate about what she does. Really can't recommend her enough - our dog has come a long way from not being able to sit on the front lawn without barking scared to confidently walking down the street and to the park with Dayna.

Lisa Clark
To say that Dayna is a fantastic dog trainer is an understatement! We are so glad to have her training our pittie, Diesel. The difference in him is incredible! She is kind, patient and incredibly intuitive in what will work best for him. We are amazed and so thankful! We contacted other trainers and couldn't find the right fit. Dayna is the best!

Brian McCloud
Can't praise Dayna enough. Local and reliable. We started working with Dayna after we brought home a new dog and became a 2 dog household. Often our sessions ran a little longer than scheduled as it was spent answering questions from my wife and I. The mid week check in, to see how progress was going was an added bonus. Dayna was knowledgeable on not only training techniques but also products that help reinforce training. Rather than continue to collect money as our newest puppy was progressing to a point Dayna was pleased with, she offered for our next session to work strictly with our older dog. You can teach an old dog new tricks! Not in it for any social media/look at me nonsense, Dayna was as professional as they come. My family and dogs love her. She is now a friend, not our dog trainer. Thanks Dayna!

Melissa Doyle
Dayna is by far the best pet sitter and trainer I have ever had. She listens intently to what your needs are and communicates the entire time. She helped rehab my rescue pup from a dog that was scared to even look at a leash to one who now walks with confidence. She taught us commands and basic skills to work on and I can say my pup has done a complete 180 with listening and recall. She goes above and beyond with our fur babies when she sits for us too. My pets love her so much they ignore me when she comes over and run directly to her. I would give Dayna more than five stars if I could and I highly recommend her for your pet sitting and training needs!

Chelsea Casto
If I could give more stars, I would. Dayna cared for my dog while we were away for a long weekend. From the initial point of contact to the last visit, she was thorough and attentive. She covered every aspect from your basic pet care needs to the special instructions if needed. She was communicative every day before, during, and after each visit and gave picture updates. She went above and beyond to make sure Stella was taken well care of and put my mind at ease leaving Stella in her care. I highly recommend Dayna for your pet care needs!

Jenn
Our family is tremendously grateful to have Dayna care for our Bode when we travel.
From the moment we met her we knew he would be in the best hands when we are away. I tend to worry about him and Dayna does so much to reassure me that he is happy and doing great during the time she spends with him. She is a dedicated professional and it is clear that she goes above and beyond to meet the needs of her clients. She is exceptionally kind, caring, and courteous, very organized and communicating with her is a pleasure. But the best part is how much our Bode loves her!

Jacqueline Davis
We reached out to Dayna shortly after learning that we were expecting our first baby. We have two furbabies with poor manners and reactivity to strangers and other dogs, and we knew that we needed to work on their behavior before the baby arrived. It was so incredible to watch our dogs improve and gain confidence over the course of two months with Dayna. Most importantly, Dayna trained US and taught us how to work with our dogs in tough situations. She provided us with the tools we needed to develop a strong and trusting relationship with our dogs, and I would recommend her to anyone in need of a trainer.
