"SO MANY DOGS SO LITTLE TIME"

Pet care experience

Dec 2022 My specialty is running your dog. So, if lots of exercise is what they need I am your man. I am 74 and retired. I live in an RV parked at a ranch north of Livermore, so I am mobile to some degree. I can do “no contact” house or ranch sitting. Basically, I can park outside your house, so I am onsite at night taking care of the premises, Pets livestock or other important tasks. When I am not travelling to Idaho in the summer, I split my time between Livermore and Danville. When my son is home in Danville, I am available the same day in that area. When I am parked at the ranch in north Livermore, depending on your needs I am available on short notice the same day in that area. Most of the time I am available almost anywhere in the Tri-Valley. I like to exercise my dog at local parks so if you want your dog can be outside a lot on a leash and in special circumstances and places off leash, I am your man. I also have a van to run errands with like trips to the vet, grooming and anything else that is feasible. One of my special services is custom outings to various fun sites in the Tri-Valley. I can send you real time tracking info from my smart phone so you will know where we are always. Videos of us having fun can also be arranged. I am an able-bodied service-disabled Veteran but I cannot walk long distances so I will walk or run your dog with a Mobility Scooter. It goes about 6-10 mph and has a 20-mile-long range. I prefer high energy dogs, but any dog will become my best friend. I have had 6 different dogs over the years 1 terrier, 1 miniature poodle, 2 miniature schnauzers, 3 border collies and spent time with various friends’ dogs. I had to put my good buddy Mitch my last dog down 4 years ago. I now have Tater, a 3-year-old border collie. I have trained dogs to love swimming and even dive under to retrieve a toy. I have a lily-white background as an executive business owner and my Facebook and YouTube channel are available upon request. Thank you for checking out my profile. I assure you that you will not be disappointed with my services.

Dan was a great sitter. He responded quickly to a booking request. He showed up to introduce himself before sitting started. He was nice to Duke, so Duke liked him. Dan was respectful of our home and was a quick and helpful communicator. Thank, you Dan.
