I miss having a dog

I've had three wonderful dogs in my adult life. My most recent one, Buzz, passed away in August 2020 at the age of 15 years and I resigned myself to the reality that he was the last dog that I would have. Still, every time I see a dog on TV or in some online video -- or even when I cruise dog-adoption sites -- I realize that I miss having one around even though I know I just can't own another dog. SO...why not have a dog that's not actually mine!!! I love dogs and I've found that most dogs I meet seem to know that. In many regards, I consider myself to be a two-legged canine! Would enjoy having a dog back in my life, even if it's only mine when I'm needed to walk, watch and/or care for it!

Dan did a terrific job watching Pip. He has a calm disposition that fit well with Pips nature. He was very comfortable with caring for him, and kept us up to date with photos and communication. We would definitely use him in the future if he is available.

Very good experience as a first time rover/dog boarding user. Dan took very good care of Yukon and I am very thankful for that. He really cares about dogs and follows routines as laid out. Would definitely recommend!!

Dan was such an incredible sitter! He took great care of my dog, Frodo, while I was away. He sent regular updates and made sure she felt right at home. Thanks again!

Dan did a great job taking care of our dog, Ace. He was very responsive and would answer text messages very quickly. He sent daily photos and regular updates. We were originally concerned due to the high energy nature of our dog, but he was able to attend to all of his needs.

A typical day

I live in an apartment community that has a campus-like feel to it so there are lots of trees and grassy areas. Even has a little dog park. Oh...and it has lots of dogs! Buzz loved it here. If a larger dog park is required, I'm not far from the Morris K. Udall dog park. My apartment is a ground floor studio that's comfortable for a small/mid-sized dog.
