Lifetime pet owner and caretaker
Pet care experience
I’m here to love your pets as much as you do! My mission is to make any time apart feel less straining on the both of you! I worked for almost ten years at a animal shelter, fostered several litters of kittens, been pet sitting since I was a kid and never lived my life without cats, dogs, mice, ferrets and other furry babies in my home. Animals make me a happier person, so being able to return the favor to them is immensely fulfilling to me. Whether they’re my own, or pets who I have been entrusted to take care of. I currently work a full time job, but typically have two days off and am off at around 3-4PM, so feel free to message me to talk about timing for walks and drop-ins! I would love to make things work for you! I’m also a runner, so if you have a dog that likes to jog, I’m your guy! I currently have three cats and many mice.
Reviews
Dan is amazing! He is incredibly kind and thoughtful, and took wonderful care of our dog, Cooper, who can be anxious and shy around new people. Dan made sure that Coop was comfortable and really went above and beyond our hopes. He is responsible, trustworthy, and very communicative (he shared daily photos/updates while we were gone for over a week!). I highly recommend having Dan take care of your pup!
Dan has done a great job house sitting and taking care of my diabetic kitty, Mango, when I am traveling! Dan made the effort to learn Mango's complicated food regimen, and gain Mango's trust to be able to check his blood sugar levels and give him insulin. Dealing with his diabetes involves sticking my kitty with needles, so it is an accomplishment to get his trust to allow it. Dan is communicative, very reliable, very good with animals and I would recommend him without hesitation! I know I can travel and things will be taken care of without my having to worry.
