Let's Hang Out and Do Yappy Hour!

Pet care experience

Howdy Pet Parents! I'm Dan “The Dog Guy”, your go-to guy for all things furry (Maybe not all furry) and fabulous. I am on a heartfelt mission to bring joy, enrichment, companionship, and outdoor adventures to your beloved fur babies. With a lifetime dedicated to rescuing, training and loving dogs and cats, including my current partner in crime, Wiley. Life with these furry wonders isn't just a ride; it's a daily lesson plan. Their antics, quirks, and unconditional love have taught me a thing or two about enjoying life, and I'm here for every delightful moment. Recently breaking free from the corporate grind, I've wholeheartedly embraced my passion for pet care on a full-time basis. It dawned on me that the highlight of my day was taking 2 or 3 of my neighbors' dogs out for lunch on a pack walk and boarding Wiley's pals here at the house when their parents were away. Nestled in the beauty of Dana Point, I get that our four-legged friends crave fresh air and outdoor escapades. No pet deserves the indoor blues – and trust me, I know your pet agrees! Let me be your furball's best bud! From leisurely strolls to wild playdates, or just giving some TLC when you're away, I'm here to ensure your fluffball gets the love, attention, and outdoor thrills they've been dreaming of. Your pet's happiness is my number one priority, and together, we'll create a bond that's paw-sitively extraordinary. Sayonara to lonely days, and let's kick off a wild journey of tail wags, purrs, and unforgettable adventures. Trust me to be your pet's confidant, and I guarantee we'll make every moment a pet-acular one. Holler at me, and let's kickstart this epic chapter of fur-tastic fun for your beloved four-legged family member! 🐾 Plus, with over 30 years in Customer Service, I've got trust-building skills that'll impress even the most skeptical cat! 🌟

Dan is a wonderful dog sitter. Our dog Phoebe is timid and shy and he won her over. He is timely and very kind to our adult daughter. It is my first time using Rover, and I couldn’t be more pleased. Had a little trouble with app, but still 5 stars for Dan !

Dan was amazing. He was accommodating and quick to respond for all my doggie needs. His place is set up with a your dogs in mind. Fenced in backyard and a separate pee place on his balcony for the small a shy. Definitely going to use Dan again.

Information Dan H. would like to know about your pet

You're the expert on your fur baby, so spill the beans! Let me in on the deets to ensure your bundle of joy has the safest and best time ever. Do they love doggy social hours or prefer solo hangs? Are car rides to new adventures a yay or nay? And of course, any physical or dietary tips are golden. Your pet's well-being is my priority, so lay it on me!

A typical day

"Tailored Adventures: A Walk on the Wild (and Not-so-Wild) Side" In my world, dog walks are more than just a routine – they're a dynamic adventure! Here's a glimpse into how I keep those tails wagging: 30-Minute Walks: I'm not about that circular, monotonous stroll life. Dogs, much like us, need variety. Different routes mean new smells, fresh experiences, and an overall better mental workout. It's all about providing stimulation for balanced and content minds. 1-Hour Walks: Get ready for a paw-some journey! Some days, we're in the park, playing fetch like it's the championship game. Other times, we're tackling hiking trails or hitting the beach for some sandy escapades. Public places? Bring it on! The hustle and bustle offer fantastic mental stimulation. Whether we're making new friends or just chilling, it all depends on your dog's needs and fitness level. The goal? Enrichment for a happy and harmonious pup!
