I love dogs and they love me!
I've loved dogs for as long as I can remember. I'm the type of person who spends more time petting a dog than talking to people at a party. I'm a former scientist and former athlete and I really relish the challenge of trying to make friends with every dog and cat I meet. Family and friends have relied on me to care for their animals for 10 years, including both cats and dogs with special dietary and/or medical needs. I believe in walks that go at your dog's own pace and include a lot of nose work. Mental exertion is at least as important as physical, and probably more! I've come to have a lot of respect and affection for cats and I enjoy their company, even if it's from afar. You just have to relate to them on their level and let them lead the way.

Notes et avis
This was our first time using Rover and we are glad that Dan was our dog sitter. Dan demonstrated good care for Tahoe, was friendly, and gave such great “dog vibes” that Tahoe took to him immediately. His back yard was well fenced and spacious. We would absolutely choose Dan again when we come back to Rochester.
Dan was wonderful, he won our baby over quickly. She even left him give belly rubs! He followed our extra instructions to the t. He was faced with a complication and handeled it in a manner that our furr baby wasn’t neglected. Would highly recommend him.
Dan has been taking care of our best boy every year for all of our long vacations and short ones in between. He get’s so much love and attention every time, we are so lucky!
Dan is incredible with our dogs, we are so lucky to have him as our regular walker for a year and a half now. He is very attentive to them and their behaviors. He is patient, kind and encourages with positive reinforcement. We trust him completely and feel comfortable leaving our dogs with him for overnight stays when we take trips. We know they are in good hands and we love the updates he sends us.
Dan was fantastic with my two senior pups. He is so attentive to their behavior and did a great job putting them at ease while I was away. It's a relief to know they are in good hands with someone that genuinely cares about them and their well being.
Dan is absolutely wonderful!

Dates de la garde
I work from home and have a flexible schedule which allows me to dip out at anytime during the day. I love going for long walks on my own and what could be better than having a pup to keep you company?

Sécurité, confiance et environnement
I believe every dog is a good dog who just wants to make their humans happy, and I respect them on that level. Dogs that pull hard on walks are not a problem. I definitely buy into the positive reinforcement training paradigm (though my experience is all informal). I work hard to bring an open, friendly attitude to every dog encounter I have. I'm not afraid to get down on the floor! I try to pay close attention to body language and if an animal seems like they are just not having it, I'm absolutely committed to doing what's best for them even if it means I might disappoint people. Sorry not sorry! They say you shouldn't wrap a leash around your arm because you could get injured, but I would honestly rather sprain my wrist than let your animal come to harm. I truly believe they are members of your family!
Une journée type
Mental stimulation is super important for dogs so I love to take sniff-centric walks that really get them thinking and reading the local "dog mail." I love to hit up a local park if there's one nearby (there's a big one right down the street from me!) and let your pup sample all the smells. I can happily play fetch forever or just run around in the yard—whatever your dog likes to do! For cats: does your little hunter have a toy they like to chase around? I'm way into it!

- Is your dog people and/or dog reactive? Do they engage in resource guarding? Do they typically pull hard on the leash? How quick are they to eat something they find on the ground vs. just sniffing?
