ABOUT DANA

Hi, I’m Dana — the heart behind Dana’s Groom N’ Board.
Animals have been a part of my life for as long as I can remember. Growing up, you could always find me with a dog or a cat by my side, whether they belonged to a neighbor or were a stray that found their way to me. I’ve always felt a special connection with animals, something others began to recognize when I started working as a vet assistant.

After several years in the veterinary field, I stepped away from vet assisting and began grooming part-time. What started as a small side passion quickly grew into a full-time business, eventually expanding into the dog boarding services I offer today.

I share my home with three wonderful dogs —
• Jax, my standard poodle
• Ender, my goldendoodle
• Squishy (a.k.a. Coco), my sweet maltipoo

They remind me every day why I do what I do.

When I created Dana’s Groom N’ Board, my dream was to offer something calm, comforting, and truly home-like for the pets in my care — a place they would never be scared to visit. I’m proud to say I’ve achieved just that. Clients often tell me how excited their pets get when they hear my name or drive past familiar spots near my place. That kind of trust and joy means everything to me.

I love giving pet parents peace of mind — knowing they can leave their furry family members with me and genuinely relax, whether they’re at work, on vacation, or just need a moment to breathe. It brings me so much happiness to know that both the pets and their owners feel safe and cared for here.

I started this journey to create a safe, loving space where dogs and cats are treated with the same affection I give my own. I truly hope that comes through the moment you step through my door — because I’m incredibly proud of what I’ve built, and I’m honored every time someone chooses me to care for their beloved companion.
