Pet care experience
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!

Ratings and reviews
Dan was excellent in every way. Great with Charlie and took extra care with her since it was her first time with him. He was outstanding in communicating with me and very responsive to every message I sent. I highly recommend him and I hope to use his services again very soon.

Dan is great! He’s very responsive.and easy to work with. Plus our pup, Freddie, has the best time visiting with him and his dogs!

Dan took great care of our two dogs in our home while we were on vacation during the Fourth of July. He provided daily updates of photos and videos of our two dogs. One of our dogs is more timid/defensive but Dan took the time with him to make him feel comfortable. By the end of the vacation both our dogs were best friends with Dan!


Dan was very friendly and welcoming and took us on as a last minute reservation. Will definitely use him again in the future.

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!

Dan is my go to dog sitter. My dog loves playing with his dogs and I feel comfortable knowing she’s safe and in great hands!
