Pet care experience

Professional Pet Care by an Animal-Loving Actor About Me Hello, pet parents! I'm a seasoned animal caretaker and an actor by profession, which means I have the flexibility to offer your beloved pets my full attention and care. From energetic puppies to serene seniors, I've interacted with a wide variety of dogs and cats. Each furry friend I meet adds joy to my day and it's my pleasure to extend this love and care to your pets. Pet Care Experience Throughout my years as a pet caretaker, I have developed a deep understanding of animal behavior and needs. My experiences range from providing day-to-day care to handling special dietary requirements and recognizing the signs when a pet needs extra attention. My love for animals fuels my commitment to their well-being. Why I Love Dog Sitting There's something incredibly rewarding about watching a dog's face light up when they see you, ready for a day of fun and companionship. Dog sitting allows me to connect with pets on a personal level and ensure they receive the love and exercise they need while their owners are away. My Experience Administering Medication I am experienced in administering oral and topical medication with a gentle touch and a lot of patience. Your pet's health and comfort are my top priorities, and I am committed to following your instructions to the letter. Services Offered 🐾 Dog Sitting/Walking: Whether it's a leisurely stroll or an energetic run, I'm here to keep your dog's tail wagging! 🐾 Full-time Availability: My schedule allows me to be with your pet for extended periods, ensuring they're never lonely. 🐾 Long-term Stays: I'm equipped to host your pet for several days, offering them a home away from home. My Pet-Friendly Home Convenient Location: Nestled on the Upper East Side, my two-bedroom apartment is a stone's throw away from Central Park and a dog park. Amenities at Hand: An elevator for easy access and in-building laundry facilities ensure a comfortable stay for your pet. Comfy Sleeping Options: A private guest bedroom for pets who cherish their own space. A cozy couch in the living room for those who love to lounge. My bedroom, with an always-open door policy for cuddle buddies. Your Stay Your pet's stay with me will be filled with care, play, and relaxation. I offer a structured day that includes walks, feeding times, play sessions, and of course, plenty of cuddles. Your pet's routine is important, and I strive to maintain it to make their stay as comfortable and stress-free as possible. Pricing is Negotiable I believe every pet deserves the highest quality care, which is why I offer flexible pricing to fit your needs. Let's discuss the best arrangement for you and your furry friend. Why You Should Choose Me Continuous Supervision: I work from home, so someone is always there for your pet. Flexibility in Care: I welcome pets onto my couch or bed, whatever makes them happiest. Clean & Spacious: My apartment is tidy and roomy, perfect for play and exploration. Personalized Attention: Each pet is unique, and I tailor my care to meet their individual needs. Looking Forward to Meeting You! I'm excited to make new furry friends and provide them with a loving, fun, and safe environment. If you're seeking a reliable and affectionate caretaker for your pet, look no further. Let's schedule a meet-and-greet! For inquiries or to book my services, please reach out for the services you would like to book me for. I can't wait to be a part of your pet's life and give them the care they deserve. 🐶🐱

Dan did an amazing job watching my dog, Banner. He kept in touch regularly with updates and was really easy to talk to. Banner was well-cared for, happy, and healthy when I got back. Dan's place was clean and safe, which made me feel so comfortable about leaving Banner there. It was clear that Dan loves animals and treated Banner like his own. I highly recommend Dan as a reliable and caring dog sitter. Five stars!

Dan did such an amazing watching April for us while we were away. He sent us lots of updates and photos and made us feel really comfortable! We will definitely be leaving April with Dan again in the future!

Dan was wonderful with our standard poodle! We appreciated his swift communication and numerous photos throughout the walks. He has been highly professional and easy to work with - we look forward to booking with him again.

Dan is amazing! It was my first time living my puppy, so I was very nervous and Dan gave me all the peace and confidence needed. He is very communicative and caring, he took care of my puppy with the same love I do. Highly recommend :)

Safety, trust & environment

I care for every single dog, cat and pet as if they were my own. My number one goal is to keep your dog safe by never being on my phone on a walk, only walking one dog at a time and providing one-on-one attention to them while they are in my care. My motto is Keep Your Dog Safe, Fed and Happy! It’s all equally important of course, but safety comes first always! For example, on a walk, I never let another person’s dog interact with a dog I am walking, no matter how friendly the other dog may seem… it is not worth it. My job is to keep your dog safe, fed and happy with the right amount of desired exercise that suits them and their regular routine. Your dog should always feel safe and secure. I ensure that they always will. Just so all owners know, I can accomplish a lot of requests. The main one I will not accommodate no matter what, is walking a dog and letting them off leash. If there is a specific dog park, like Carl Schurz, I am happy to take them there (again only if I deem it safe at the time we go there) then sure. But walking outdoors on the street or in a big public park… with no fences and cars and other people around… so many incidents could happen. I will always have your dog on leash.

Information Dan P. would like to know about your pet

Please let me know if your dog has any special needs, specific requests you would like to make that you think I can reasonably accommodate and also if they are potty trained. No big deal if not (I have an amazing wet dry vacuum… but I always ask for the heads up!)

A typical day

We play and run around, I do multiple walks per day depending on the dog I am sitting. Your dog or cat is allowed on all of my furniture, the couch, the bed, the spare room we have (the doggy and pet play room… it’s just my desk and a lamp… so we convert it into a play room for any dog that would enjoy it) so bring their toys, doggy bed… cat toys anything that they love and will make them feel at home!
