Dan's K-9 Retreat

I’m Dan and I love dogs. I’ve always had a K-9 companion and love the company dogs provide. Walks, fresh air and playtime are things I like just as dogs do. I’m caring, loving, and respectful and always treat others the way I want to be treated. I’ve had a dog all throughout my life and have experience caring for animals of different sizes, breeds, and personalities! I have the most experience with Black Labradors, German Shepherds and Beagles, but would care for any pup. I understand how hard it is to be away from your pup so I’ll be in consistent communication, sending photo and text updates so you know how much fun your pup is having in my care. I have a flexible schedule so I can provide the perfect amount of love, activity, and play time in the care of your pup! I can’t wait to get to know you and your dog, creating a communicative, kind, and respectful working relationship. I will provide the same love, care and attention that I would provide my own dog to yours. It’s in my nature to go the extra mile to go above and beyond to make your dog feel like they’re at home! When I’m not spending time with animals, I spend my time working full-time at Mercy Medical Center in Baltimore. I love heading to the gym, reading, playing video games, and spending time with my family. Even though I do work full-time, this will not get in the way of providing an excellent stay for your K-9 companion. I am very flexible and accommodating in order to provide the best possible care for your K-9 friend. I live in an apartment complex in the Rodger's Forge near Towson University in Maryland. Our neighborhood is very green, dog-friendly and wide open for dogs to frolic, play, and jump! The neighborhood is a great fit for any pup! When booking for my services, please keep in contact with me and let me know the dates you wish to have you’re Pup stay over. Once you've contacted me, please let me know a best possible date and time to set up a "Meet and Greet", if needed. Once I accept a booking request, please respond within 24 hours so I can keep my schedule up to date. Please provide clear care instructions for your dog, so I can provide the best possible stay for them. Also, if you have any questions at all regarding my services or any accommodations during you’re Pups stay, please feel free to reach out to me at anytime. I look forward to meeting you and you’re K-9 Companion and hope to build long term relationships and provide outstanding services for both you and you’re Pup! *Please note: Upon picking up your pet, please make sure you have all the items you brought with your pet. I am not responsible for any items left behind. If an item is left behind, it must be picked up within 72 hours. After 72 hours, it will be discarded. Thank You!

This is our second time using Dan and just like before he was great with our dog. We were updated with pictures throughout my dog’s stay.

I don’t have any breed preferences and love dogs of all sizes, shapes, breeds, and personalities. I’m very comfortable with large breeds and all I would want to know before a stay is if your pup has any medical issues or behavioral tendencies. If your dog has separation anxiety and/or destructive behavior I do require them to be crated when no one is home. This is to ensure that my property doesn’t get destroyed or damaged as I have had too many bad experiences in the past with owners who weren’t upfront about their dogs behavior. In the event that my property is damaged or destroyed, the owner is 100% responsible for the costs and failure of coverage will result in a report to Rover and no future stays at my property.
Each sitter joining Rover needs to pass a background check. And by booking on Rover, you can get photo & message updates, 24/7 support, and reimbursement for eligible vet care.
