Pet care experience

Fun and experienced trainer/dog dad

I am a huge animal lover and dogs have been a part of my life for as long as I can remember. I have 20+ years of dog caring experience, working with dogs of all sizes, ages, breeds, and activity levels. I have even cared for a handful of cats. Although I never owned any myself, I am very comfortable with caring for them (meow). My specialty is high-energy dogs who love to play, stay active, and who need training. My friends and relatives repeatedly come to me for their dog-sitting needs (I'm the fun uncle) and I couldn't be more thankful since playing and cuddling with my dogs is my idea of a good time. You can trust that your furry friend will receive the best possible care with me, and that they will have a great time while you're away.

Pets

Safety, trust & environment

I understand every pet is unique with its own care requirements. I prefer meeting your furry friend before any house-sitting/ dog walk bookings as it is important to develop rapport with your pup. Making them feel safe and comfortable is a priority of mine. Any medical, feeding, training, walk time or general information about your dog or cat is crucial to make it a positive experience both for your pet, for yourself, and for me.

House Sitting • May 26, 2026

Daniel was great - excellent communication and great with the pups. One of our pups took an instant liking to him and was asking for belly rubs during the meet and greet. We hired him to house sit during our wedding weekend and he even walked the dogs up to our wedding venue so we could take pictures with them on the day.

Drop-In Visits • May 07, 2026

Daniel recently provided drop-in visits for our daughter's cat Milo while we were on a family hiking trip. His pics of Milo showed how happy Milo was to see him, and when we returned home it was obvious Milo was much more at ease compared to other times we were away. We've also had Daniel pet sit for our dogs in the past, and he really creates a fast bond with them. We're so thankful to have someone as reliable and attentive as Daniel to care for our pets!

House Sitting • Mar 27, 2026

Daniel was an amazing house/dog sitter. He was so attentive and our dog really took to him. He was quick responding and always sending us photos and updates of our dog while we were away. He was also a great house guest and kept it neat and tidy. 10/10 recommend!

Dog Walking • Jul 29, 2025

Daniel was fantastic! He stepped in at the last minute to help me out with my dogs when I had to travel for work, even though it was horribly hot and humid and he didn’t feel well. I really appreciate his quick communication and my dogs both took to him immediately. I’ll definitely book his services again in the future!

I am currently in the middle of a career change which grants me a lot of flexibility. I am available for dog walks basically any time the sun is out (can be flexible). For home sitting communication is key.

Understanding a dogs daily routine is critical to ensuring a successful sitting. Dogs are creatures of habit so understanding how they act on a daily basis is important. I like to know what verbal commands they know so I am consistent in my verbal communication with them as well as any visual communication. I need to know whether they have medication and what time they take it, as well as any quirks that I may need to know about. For example, how they let me know when they need to go to the bathroom or if I need to do something specific to help them go to sleep.
Each sitter joining Rover needs to pass a background check. And by booking on Rover, you can get photo & message updates, 24/7 support, and reimbursement for eligible vet care.
