Pet care experience
I’ve been a loving pet owner all my life. My experience is mostly with medium to large dog breeds but I also love smaller dogs and cats. Our latest dog Rufus, a chocolate lab recently passed due to old age. He was with us for 13 1/2 years. The last year and a half he lost use of his hind legs and became incontinent but still somehow had a somewhat regular schedule. Other than that he was still a healthy and happy, loving pup. So after he lost use of his hind legs we got him doggy diapers and a wheelchair to help him get around. This experience may help me take care of your pet if he or she happens to be a special needs pet. For those seeking an inboard pet sitter I can offer my home which is off a quiet private road sitting on ten acres of wooded land. There are multiple walking trails on the property for us to explore and also a few parks in the area with more trails and open area to explore. The house itself is 3 levels and around 2500 sq.ft. so there’s plenty of space if you have multiple pets or if the weather is bad or too cold to play outside. It’s a craftsman style house so it could also be a cats paradise!
Reviews
Dan was awesome with our dog Maybelline! He was very responsive and sent us daily updates and pictures which we loved. Maybel felt very comfortable in his home with his family and I was lucky to have such a welcoming home to send her to! Thank you Dan!!!! Definitely would bring her back and definitely recommend!
Dan has shown himself to be very kind and patient with multiple pets of mine and has a spirit about him that animals can trust. On his first visit to my home, my cat who was afraid of people she didn’t know, even people she had met multiple times, went right up to him and allowed him to pet her. This let me know that he was trustworthy. I would completely recommend Dan to take care of your pets and that they will fall in love with him like my cat did that first day.

I do not have a fenced yard but there are plenty of parks to walk in the area. I would be available to walk them up to 4 times per day if not staying at our home. I have experience with special needs pups as well.
Home
Information Dan S. would like to know about your pet
I personally prefer larger breeds but enjoy the company of all pets. As for prior knowledge before sitting for your pet I would like to know if there’s any special needs or routines you would like me to perform. Also if the pet has any allergies to any pet foods or treats if none are provided.
A typical day
There are multiple walking trails on the property. Parks in the surrounding area. I have a variety of dog toys. And if you’re a cat owner the house is a craftsman’s style home so there’s plenty of spots for him or her to climb and watch from above! We also have three separate fish tanks for them to watch.
