Safety, trust & environment

Whether it's for day care or an overnight, how I care for your dog can be tailored to your dog's needs. I have frequently stayed overnight at the owner's house, including places pretty far from my own home. Several of the photos in my profile are with dogs that I cared for while traveling! Your dogs' safety, health, physical activity needs, dietary needs, and need for snuggling (or need for space if you have a less social or timid pup) are really what's most important. In my home you are welcome to bring a crate, your dog's favorite toys or bed, food/snacks, as well as anything else your dog might need. We also have a very large sectional that we bought with dog-snuggling in mind, but if you have any rules with your dog that are important for me to reinforce, I will absolutely respect that.

Information Dan F. would like to know about your pet

Your dog’s safety and comfort is my top priority. I always enjoy learning about the pups I will be caring for so I can make sure all of their needs are met and we can maintain routines that work well for them. I appreciate knowing about meds, allergies, energy levels, physical restrictions, likes and dislikes - and anything else that will help me to take the best care of them!

A typical day

I have an endless supply of tennis balls as I play tennis pretty regularly. We have a good size backyard and live on a quiet tucked-away street with lots of places to walk and play nearby.

Pet care experience

I’m a lifelong dog lover who truly enjoys caring for pups of all breeds and personalities. Throughout my life I've been so fortunate to care for three dogs from the days we first brought them home as puppies to their last days. I feel very comfortable caring for dogs of all ages. Spending time with and caring for my friends' and family's dogs has always been a big part of my life. I treat every dog like my own, giving them plenty of attention, affection, and exercise. I offer dog walking, daycare (at your home or mine), and boarding (again at your home or mine), and regardless of your pup's needs they’ll be in caring hands. I look forward to taking care of your dog!

Words cannot describe how well our dog was taken care of while we were away! D was absolutely fantastic and gave us consistent daily updates filled with silly and cute pictures. Our dog can be challenging around new faces, but they took that in stride and he immediately was comfortable around them due to their caring nature. HIGHLY recommend your dog staying in their loving home!

Dan provided great communication before the visit and excellent care for our 10 yr old German Shepherd mix. Highly recommend!

Dan was great. We received many pics and my dogs have found their new best friend. Dan stayed at our house with my pups and they looked so happy and content. I highly recommend Dan to care for your pups.

Dan was great with my two dogs. Very communicative and sent many updates/photos which I appreciated. Also kept me updated with what they did during the day. The dogs seemed very happy and comfortable there. Dan also did well with my senior dog who definitely has his quirks at times. Thank you!
