Safety, trust & environment

I have fenced dog park right behind my apartment where your day can be active and interact with other dogs from the neighborhood. I can also crate your dog if necessary.

Information Dan C. would like to know about your pet

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.

A typical day

On a stay with me, I’ll be sure to keep your dog happy and safe. I love staying active so long, brisk walks and lots of play time are in order. We can head to the park, go on hikes, or explore the neighborhood. If your dog has toys such as tennis balls or rope toys, I can play fetch or tug of war with them and even take them to a local park to roam free and have fun. If your dog prefers a more relaxed stay, we can cuddle up for snuggles and TV time.

Dan's K-9 Retreat

Pet care experience

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 the University of Maryland in Baltimore. 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.

We left our year old dog in the capable hands of Dan for nine days. He stayed in our house and took such a good care of our dog and our home. We will definitely book Dan for any future trips!

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.
