Dan is great! He watched our 3 year old golden retriever, Jerry, in his home for 3 nights, and we couldn’t have asked for a better environment for our pup. Jerry was able to play with another doggo, run around a fenced in backyard, and hang out with both Dan and his son. Dan was also an excellent communicator, and he took on our booking after a last second change in our travel plans. We will not hesitate to book with Dan again in the future. A+++

Dan was awesome to work with, and his dog Penny is a sweetheart that immediately welcomed my young, anxious rescue lab Goose into her home. He made sure Goose felt comfortable in the house, provided him with sufficient exercise, and sent me daily updates with pictures and videos. Highly recommend Dan to anyone in need of a sitter!

Schedule

I mainly work from home so I have plenty of time. My son is 13 and this is really his thing, but I am always here to make sure things go smoothly. We can provide plenty of bathroom breaks and play time.

I don’t have any breed restrictions, but I beg you to be upfront about aggression. I have a son at home and his safety comes before anything else. Thanks!
