I’ve loved animals all my life.
Pet care experience
I’ve walked my friend’s dogs. Mostly, I’ve worked with cats. At animal lifeline. I’ve got one cat, myself. His name’s Exeter. I do enjoy dogs. I helped raise my Brittany. His name was brandy. I walked him a lot.
Reviews
Dan Hinz is a highly motivated pet care worker who has walked my dog Lucky a number of times and dog-sat for Lucky. I highly recommend Dan. He is kind and patient. Dan takes Lucky on long walks; Lucky gets so excited when he sees Dan, and is happy and thrilled to be with his favorite person!! I have had dog walkers and dog-sitters who let discipline and routine slip, but Dan is organized, dedicated, and amazing at keeping Lucky in good health and great spirits. Dan is great with all animals, and has a special knack for getting animals to trust and obey him. Dan has a cat of his own, and really "gets" them. Dan has made several helpful suggestions about how to keep my cat OJ happy with cat toys and different snacks. Although my laundry list of instructions included complicated issues with keeping Lucky from walking too close to other dogs, Dan was able to balance everything to the letter. My dog seemed happier at the end of a day with Dan, and I never had to worry about his well-being or safety.
Dan was dependable and professional. He was here when I asked him to be here and the dogs loved him. I would recommend Dan without any hesitation. Dennis M
We have known Dan since he was about 12 years old. As a young boy he had a dog that he cared for and trained. When he was older I had him come to my home and care for my two cats when we would be traveling and that could be for two weeks or more at a time. He was reliable and enjoyed doing so. Sincerely, Mary and Ken Conry.
Dan was a volunteer at our no kill shelter and socialized with the cats. He was always very reliable and carried about making his time with the cats fun for them.

I live in Urbandale. I can’t have other animals here. I can walk dogs, or look after cats in areas nearby. I do have a gps device. I’d prefer suburbs nearby mine. Thank you!
Information Dan H. would like to know about your pet
I’ll watch all dogs. I may have trouble with very large dogs. I’d need to know their name’s, their personality, and any health restrictions, or dietary requirements. And their preferences, anything that scares them.
A typical day
I can take a dog for a walk in the park, or play ball with the dog. Or frisbee, whatever the owner wants. I love being outdoors, and being with animals.
