Safety and security for your pet!

Hello! As a lifetime pet owner, and retired animal control officer that initiated hundreds of rescues and cruelty investigations, I can assure you that your best friend will be in a safe and loving environment. I was a registered foster for the county of orange for seven years, and our home is suited to take in pretty much any breed (or species) you might have. Anytime I have the responsibility of walking somebody else’s dog in public, the safety of the animal is my main concern. I am keenly aware of the hazards from other animals, vehicles, (and occasionally people), so I ensure that all precautions are taken. I'm looking forward to meeting you and your furry friends! Thank you in advance for your consideration!

Doggy Day Care • Apr 28, 2026

We had a great experience with Dan! We felt completely comfortable leaving Freddie with him for the day, which made everything so much easier. He kept us updated and made sure Freddie was having a great time the whole day. Freddie has a lot of puppy energy, and Dan handled it so well. He especially loved playing with Dan’s dogs — he came home more tired than we’ve ever seen him (in the best way!). It’s clear Dan really cares about the dogs he watches. We would absolutely book with him again and highly recommend!

George spent the afternoon and evening with Dan and his crew and did great! Dan was kind enough to accept a last minute booking and did a wonderful job with George. We will be back!
