Dog Dad

I’ve got two dogs at home: Lupin (3, Blue Heeler) and Freya (1 year and a few months, Bloodhound). They keep things pretty active, so I’m used to both high-energy dogs and the slower moments when they finally crash. I grew up on a farm, so being around animals has always been the normal for me. Dogs, birds, rabbits, turtles, a ferret named Nick — a bit of everything. At one point I also helped take care of a baby tapir that lost her mom and ended up living freely around us. My dogs are friendly and used to being around other dogs and people, and I’m comfortable handling different personalities — shy, energetic, stubborn, you name it. I know how stressful it can be leaving your dog with someone else, so I just try to keep things simple: make sure they’re safe, comfortable, and getting the attention they need while you’re away.

Safety, trust & environment

I live in a spacious apartment near a lot of green area and I usually take the dogs three times a day to the dog park nearby or in some trails in the area between Salem and Corvallis.

10/10 Daniel is awesome! It’s obvious that he genuinely cares for animals and wants to make them happy and feel comfortable. It was really nice knowing our dog Teton was in good hands while we were at work.

Usually when I take care of a pet, the owner gives me a list or a brief description of the dog’s schedule. With this I can work well with your dog.

Daniel can take up to 4 Walks per day
Before watching your dog, it really helps me to know: * Feeding details (type of food, portions, how many times a day) * Any medications (what, when, and how to give them) * Potty routine (schedule, fully trained or still learning) * Energy level and exercise needs (walks, hikes, playtime) * Behavior with other dogs and people * Any triggers or things they don’t like * Sleep routine (crate, bed, free roam) * Favorite toys or activities * Any special instructions or quirks The more I know ahead of time, the easier it is to keep their routine consistent and make them feel at home
These prices are for 1 dog.
