Dr. Dan Doolittle Pet Whisperer

Pet care experience

I have owned and trained horses, dogs and other animals for over 5 decades. When I was 12 yrs old I walked Zeus a 160lb Great Dane, for 3 yrs, we became best friends. Today is April 27th 2023. I have been on Rover now for almost a year. I was just made aware that by not disclosing that I require a meet and greet, that I was wasting someone’s time. So, if you’re not able to do a proper meet and greet with me and my fur babies we will not be a good fit. Sorry to be so direct. I don’t want to waste anyone’s time. Thank you for understanding.My Miniature Schnauzer is a Service Dog and comes with me everywhere. He is a sweetheart. My homeowners insurance does not cover Pit Bulls or any variation of the breed.

Dan was amazing! I chose him because he was careful and wanted to meet Nakita before accepting the booking. She was comfortable with him almost immediately, and he was exactly what I was looking for! Highly recommend the meet-and-greet for anyone who watches your pups. Thanks Dan for taking great care of our girl🥰

Cait had a wonderful time during her staycation with Dan and Geronimo. It is always a great comfort to know that she is well cared for.

Dan took wonderful care of my dog. She was clean and happy when I picked her up after a full week of hanging out at Dan‘s house. She ate well and got attention.

We were very happy with Dan. We kept out 15 year old, demanding Yorkiepoo with Dan over a long weekend. He communicated and sent pictures throughout the stay. He certainly knows dog. We would it definitely use him again.

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.
