Pet care experience

<<<Before you read further, I start all my services at 11am.>>> Hi! I've been sitting for pets for years, and now I have the opportunity to do it more often thanks to this service! I live in West Seattle, but working as a substitute teacher, which allows me entire days of last minute availability, as well as a pre-planned scheduled visits. I've cared for dogs, cats, chickens, fish, turtles, snakes and a tarantula. I'm responsible, patient and caring, and as long as i'm sitting your pet, my attention will be devoted to your pet. I highly value the nature of the owner-pet connection, and I will do whatever I can to respect that relationship. Your pets safety and happiness will consistently be held as my number one priority. I'm exceedingly willing to accommodate special requests. My wife Christine is a web developer, so there may be times where she joins me on walks with your pet, if you're comfortable with her accompaniment. She has had plenty dogs and cats throughout her entire life, and might even love animals more than I do. Maybe. I would love the chance to take care of your pet so that you feel as comfortable and happy as possible while they are in my care.

Safety, trust & environment

I've dealt with challenging animals as well as gentle ones, and over the years I've gained the experience and knowledge to handle just about any request or situation.

Information Dan G. would like to know about your pet

I would like to know the temperament of the dog, so that i'm prepared to deal with social interactions at parks and such. Any pertinent information about their likes and dislikes is always helpful as well. I house sat for a dog that didn't like to travel south. I'm being serious. It was good to know beforehand that when we went on a walk, that I would have to deal with a dog that would completely shut down when facing and moving south. I like all dog breeds. I've taken care of small toy breeds as well as labs, boxers, pits and Great Danes.

A typical day

I like to walk the pup to the owners request, so if that means a brisk walk around the neighborhood, or a meander to stop and smell all the roses, I'm here for that. I enjoy the time I spend with all the animals I care for, and will do whatever it takes for the owners to feel confident that their little bubs are in good hands.
