Information Dan M. would like to know about your pet

Your animal family member, is my focus and commitment. Let me know if there are any special needs that they have and I will make sure that they are taken care of. I will always treat them with the same love I always have my own fur family.

A typical day

Retired and reliable, making me available to you and your animal family. I was 12 years old when I took my first dog walking job, Zeus a Great Dane outweighed me by 35 pounds. He belonged to my church Chaplin, because of Zeus I fell in love with Great Danes. I ended up showing my own Great Dane, Thor, who became an AKC champion. I am now the proud owner of a 1 year old Miniature Schnauzer, Geronimo, who I am training to become a certified service animal. While, not blessed with children of my own, I have made animals my children. I have rescued dogs, cats, horses, and parrots for over 5 decades. Your pets will find me to be a loving companion. I feel blessed with the ability to communicate with animals, hence my title Dr. Dan Doolittle. I look forward to providing you and your pets dependability and great service. I enjoy teaching dogs new games. Like fetch and tug-of-war. I always make sure that they win. It gives them confidence and makes them enjoy the game that much more. I’ve studied animal husbandry and really enjoy interaction with my fur buddies.

When I was 12 yrs old I walked Zeus a 160lb Great Dane, for 3 yrs, we became best friends. That is when I knew I wanted Animals to be a major passion in my life.

Dan was great with Luna! We're a repeat guest and will use Dan next time. He was very accommodating with my last minute request. :)

Dan was a blessing for us on our Thanksgiving travel we had planned. He gave our dogs extreme care and attention and we were so happy to have his help. He was very patient with our pets getting comfortable after us leaving. Thank you very much Dan!

Dan was the perfect choice to watch our pups! He gave daily updates while we were out of town and took such good care of our pups. I recommend Dan to any of our friends who need a reliable, friendly, and professional sitter.
