Dogs make Earth livable.

Pet care experience

Currently available at all hours. Will discuss various matters of social importance with your dog, keeping him informed on the latest goings on in the world when you can't. I can help with cats too. No snakes. Otters are fine. My experiences come from 20 years with 1 black lab, 4 German Shepard's and a very excitable Italian Greyhound. I was in politics and journalism for a long time and both careers made me realize that I like dogs more than I like people. SO for several years I've worked to rescue dogs from terrible situations and help find them homes via social media. If your dog likes people then he or she will definitely like me. If your dog is suspicious and shy, I can help get them out of their shell.

Dan gives me peace of mind when I leave my dog Toby with him. His genuine desire to make Toby happy is quite apparent. Dan goes above and beyond what is expected and he is very reliable and trustworthy. Toby is a very hyper-active dog and needs lots of attention, Dan is able to keep him occupied and they spend a lot of playtime together. I wish there were more people out there with Dan's level of compassion for dogs!

Information Dan J. would like to know about your pet

I'd like to know how well the dog responds to commands and whether they can successfully retrieve an item. By "successfully" I mean, bring the item all the way back to you once you throw it for them and the retrieve it. Additionally I'd like to know how your dog reacts to to other dogs at dog parks.

A typical day

We'll mostly play Trivial Pursuit and Boggle. If that doesn't work out, there is a wonderful bike path here in Herndon that is perfect for long walks.
