I ❤️ to take a walk

Pet care experience

I'm a software engineer who works from home. When I bought my dog, the breeder made it clear dogs are pack animals and should not be left alone for a period of more than 2 hours. My dog has had the luxury of always having me a round and I think this is important for a dog. I will train your dog to walk next to me or behind so as to not pull on the leash. My experience is that will walk well with me after a couple of days, but will fall back to old habits. If you want to know how I do it, I can teach. When I got my dog, I watched a lot of the show the "dog whisperer" and read the book as well. I did copious amounts of research to make sure I could train my dog well.

Daniel was wonderful with our Dachsund, Ollie! He sent lots of pics and was very communicative. Ollie came home happy and loved! Thanks Daniel!

Pros: Daniel would text us how our doggy was doing as well as send pictures of him, which we loved. He would also respond to our text in a timely manner. Cons: This was our dog's first time having a sitter from Rover, and we were very anxious of leaving him with someone new. Our concern was elevated when we got our dog back (after about 7-8hrs) around 9pm and he kept vomiting and pooping diarrhea. He even vomited two cream colored, small oval shaped pieces that looked like pills :(. Our dog didn't stop pooping and vomiting till early morning, which was rough for him and us. Also, Daniel had other roommates who he had watch our dog at some time also, which we don't know anything about them at all.

Very good with small dogs, nice home and environment for them, consistent walks and dog loving roommates! Highly recommended home for your furry friends to stay at!

Merlin was a happy dog while I was away, and Daniel was so good about sending photos and updates every day. Merlin has medical needs that require applying medication and even putting kong around his neck if he licks. Daniel was very attentive to Merlin's behavior and only had to use kong one time. Merlin might be 12 years old but is still playful and Daniel had fun playing with Merlin along with taking him for several walks a day. His yard was fenced so Merlin could be outside basking in the sun. I never worried about Merlin's care. Daniel, I found out, is actually my neighbor. Merlin was near home and took his usual walk routes. I will definitely be asking Daniel to care for Merlin on any future trips that Merlin cannot go along. He is happier at home rather than a long road trip. Thank you, Daniel,

I have a fenced yard, and I never left my dog alone more than I had to, which was max a few hours. Dogs are pack animals, and I think it's good to have someone with them at all times. I'm super paranoid about something happening to an animal, so I'm careful. Animals are the best thing since before sliced bread.

Information Daniel B. would like to know about your pet

If your dog is subject to destroying things, biting or chewing then it's not a good match. Any special care should also be noted: medications, etc. Does your dog enjoy the dog park? What triggers it (small dogs, big dogs, little children)?

A typical day

I love to walk, and I live 15 mins walk from a bigger dog park. I take my dog there all the time. I Have a smaller 10 lb dog. Huey is 12 years old, and he gets along very well with dogs his own size.
