Pet care experience
Hello! I’m Daniel Arrigona and I can provide excellent care for your beloved pets!what sets me apart from other Rovers? 5 Star Ratings! I live in Grapevine and I have retired after a career in public education. With my retirement comes flexibility. I am able to meet the any of the usual routines or custom needs that you may have for your “fur babies.” I can also include walking your dog if you would like to schedule that service. I live in a house and my backyard is fully fenced and clean. There are always squirrels to chase and your dog will never be left unsupervised. If my wife and I have to leave for an errand or appointment, your dog will be safe in his or her crate. I have experience with many breeds, large and small, and I am able to provide care for your pet should they have specials needs, including those that come with aging pets and administering prescriptions and over the counter supplemental care. I do not accept bully breeds for boarding, doggie day care or for walking. I have 2 dogs, both are 7+ years old and both are spayed/neutered. My spaniel mix weighs about 30 pounds and is well-behaved. Together, we have completed the obedience testing that is required for her to become a therapy dog. The next step is to make 3 supervised visits in various medical and other settings selected by the organization. After that we will be able to provide care for people in medical, senior living and assisted living facilities, as well as in school settings. My chihuahua mix is about 5 pounds. He is shy and sweet. I have been background checked by Rover, the Grapevine Police Department (in order to volunteer in after-school programs), and by the Alliance of Therapy Dogs. Let me know if I can help you. I look forward to meeting you and your pets!
Reviews
Daniel was awesome with our Hank hound--and housesitting our house! We got consistent updates, and he left our home in wonderful shape! Thanks, Daniel! We will reach out again!!
Daniel stayed with my fur baby and was a dream come true. I didn’t worry at all knowing he was there. He learned my dogs daily routine and kept her on it as if I were home. He sent lots of photos and updates every day and gave her lots of snuggles. He also kept an eye on a household issues that had come up just before I left so I didn’t have to worry about that. He’s very neat and tidy. I think he left my house cleaner than when I left! We will definitely be repeat customers A++++++
This was my first experience using Rover. We were all a little apprehensive about trusting a stranger to care for our pups for several days while out of town. We were so pleased with the service Daniel provided! He sent updates everyday with pictures of the pups, so we could relax knowing they were in good hands. Daniel was timely, courteous and a very good communicator. We will use him again!
Daniel stayed with our dogs for the weekend. He took excellent care of them. Our dogs are a bit challenging since one is 17 (and blind) and the other is 3 years old- but Daniel made sure each of them got everything they needed! It was great not to have to worry about the dogs while we were away. Would definitely recommend.
