Lover of all, big and small!

Pet care experience

I grew up with a German Short-hair pointer and a miniature dachshund in my family, so I've been taking care of dogs most of my life. I’ve also worked with a number of special-care dogs (anxiety disorders, physical impairments, etc.), so I’m more than willing and able to accommodate your dog’s needs. I absolutely adore dogs and I haven't met a breed I didn't like! My philosophy is that there are no bad dogs, only ones who've been badly cared for. I am a decently large guy so I'm able to handle large pups, or a few of them on leashes at once. I work several jobs and my schedule fluctuates frequently, but I can usually accommodate with advance notice. Please don't hesitate to contact me if you have any questions! :)

Thank you so much for sitting our animals and taking such good care of our house! I apologize about the phone charger, had some internal miscommunication and now I'm not sure where it is.

Dan has special connection to Guinness. Guinness was well cared for and Dan sent daily updates with pictures. Thank you Dan!

Daniel took great care of my dog while I traveled for work. Lots of updates and photos, and I came home to a happy pup and a clean house. Thanks!

This also varies quite a bit depending on the client's wishes and the dog's needs. For example. some large, younger dogs need a lot of exercise and stimulation, while some elderly dogs need more assistance getting around and require shorter walks and frequent potty breaks. Again, feel free to reach out to me to discuss your pet's specific needs :) I primarily do home stays. I am not able to board currently.

Once again, this depends heavily on the location, circumstances, and needs of your pet. Typically I will walk, feed, play, administer medication, go out for potty breaks, give treats, and do whatever else the dog enjoys. I enjoy going to dog parks if the pup is eligible :)
