Highlights
Pet care experience
Honest, Reliable & Dependable Care
I've been providing pet care for over 13 years now. Growing up my family started with two small dogs and then expanded our family to include a small farm in the suburbs of New England. My parents have goats, horses, chickens, pigs, ducks, dogs and cats. I previously worked as a Kennel Attendant for my family's small business. I learned all of my tips and tricks from hands on experience with dogs and cats of all different breeds, shapes and sizes. As much as I loved this job, I needed to spread my wings and move somewhere warmer. I currently live in the Highland Park area of Los Angeles with my two animals: Winnie and Parker. I've introduced all of my animals together and have minimal issues other than the usual shenanigans that comes with owning multiple pets. I have experience with puppies, puppy training, dogs with special needs (wheel chair, multiple medications, topical medications, etc.) as well as experience matching dogs in play groups based off of their personalities. While working as a kennel attendant I would often fill in for the dog bather/groomer which trained me to trim nails, and brush teeth or fur.

Safety, trust & environment
I have private insurance through Pet Care Insurance (PCI) that covers more than just the Rover Guarantee. I'd be happy to give you more information on what the policy covers upon request. I am a very flexible person and can accommodate almost any schedule or routine that your pet has. Walks: I am more than happy to walk your dog around your neighborhood or to a drop off location (daycare, groomers, etc.) as long as it's within a reasonable distance. If possible, I will typically clip the leash to my belt so that I can walk hands free and have more control. I am open to walking multiple dogs at once. Drop-in Visits: I would love to check in on your beloved pup while you are away! I can feed, water, play with, walk, exercise etc. Please give me specific instructions on how to care for your pet as well as where their supplies is located. *Please note that I do not provide 24/7 care and I do not provide continued overnight care*
Ratings and reviews
Best sitter! Appreciate Daniel so much!
Daniel takes the best care of our kitties while we’re away! We really appreciate Daniel’s flexibility and experience, which shows up in the great care shown for our slightly moody cats. Our minds can be completely at ease knowing Daniel is checking in on them and prepared to handle anything and everything. Thank you, Daniel!
Daniel was lovely with our cat Ned! He was super responsive and very easy to do initial booking/pre-sitting visit, was very comfortable and easy going about Ned’s care, and was very good about giving daily updates, playing and socializing, and keeping Ned’s essentials full, clean and cared for while we were away. We’ll happily ask him back in the future!!
Daniel was awesome! I was in desperate need of a last minute pet sitter for my two cats during the week of Christmas and they were exactly who I was looking for. Daniel came every day to feed my cats, was able to empty and reset my litter robot as needed, and sent me photo updates every day while I was away. I will definitely be reaching out again the next time I need a pet sitter while I’m out of town, and I highly recommend Daniel to anyone else looking for pet care.
Daniel has watched Blitz for me a few times now and they take such great care of him. He is a very needy boy and loves getting pets and cuddles from Daniel.
Thanks so much to Daniel for all the close care of our cats and attention to detail around our home!

Schedule
I have a really flexible schedule and would love to work with your schedule. No request is too weird, some of our animals are extra special and require extra care.

- Please keep in mind upon inquiry that the estimated rates may vary depending on specific needs or Rover miscalculations. I will always make sure that Rover does not overcharge you. Rover service fees apply. Getting to know your dogs on a personal level is an essential part of providing the best care possible. Your furry companions are unique individuals with distinct personalities, preferences, and needs. To ensure that our time together is enjoyable and safe for everyone, there are a few key pieces of information that would greatly assist me in tailoring my care: 1. Schedule/Routine: How do you usually walk/take care of your pet? What are your expectations of me while walking/taking care of your pet? What types of behaviors do you want to encourage/discourage while your pet is in my care? 2. Medications and Medical History: Does your pet take any medication? How do you administer it and where is it stored? Does your pet have any medical conditions that are important for me to know? Does this particular breed of pet have any conditions that I should know about? ie. heat exposure, ear infections etc. 3. Vet information: Where is the closest emergency room vet to your home? Where does your dog typically go to the vet? 4. Emergency Contacts: If you are staying out of town or will be too far to make decisions for your pet if something were to happen, I require two emergency contacts in the area that will able to make the best decision for your babies. Safety is my number one priority and this just ensures that I have a reachable contact to help me if something were to happen. 5. Behavior/Personality: How would you describe your pet? Is your pet unfriendly to strangers or a specific types of people? Does your dog have little quirks I should know about or favorite spots that they like to walk? If you think it's important, it probably is! Open and honest communication about your pet's needs, behaviors, and preferences empowers me to provide personalized and attentive care. My experience with challenging dogs has taught me the value of clear communication, and I'm dedicated to creating a safe, enjoyable, and fulfilling experience for both you and your beloved canine companion.
