Dogs run my life and I wouldn’t have it any other way. The only thing I can see myself doing for the rest of my life is working with animals. I’m all in so I’m available most hours and most days. I’m literally with dogs 95% of my life so dogs are my daily routine. My dogs will love becoming best buddies with any pet that boards or does daycare with them! I am currently only booking one walk per day to focus on daycare and boarding clients.

About Daniel F.
Communication
Skills
Safety, trust & environment
All boarding and daycare clients will have an apple AirTag tracking chip affixed to them for the duration of our time together (if wearing a collar). I use a hands free leash attached around my waist so they’re stuck with me. I also use their handheld leash as a backup. I have a shared balcony and private fenced back patio, so there is always a secure outside area for your dog. My house is less than a block from Patterson park, giving them plenty of outside opportunities. My training style is radical love. Your pets will know they’re cared for and will get plenty of positive reinforcement from my end! I have two extremely friendly dogs, so there will always be friends for your pet. Dogs run my household and life revolves around them. Your dog is in safe and loving hands! Please bring a collar for tracking. I prefer using both harnesses and collars when taking them for walks, but one or the other is required. You will also need to bring any food or other things necessary for your dog. I only have Shadow’s crate at this time, hopefully with another coming soon, so also bring your crate if your dog is crate trained. They won’t need one if they don’t typically use one though! I love this community and plan on staying here for the rest of my life. Help me eventually buy a house here that fits more dogs and you’ll have a dog guy for life!

Information Daniel F. would like to know about your pet
Boarding and daycare dogs must be friendly with other dogs because two other dogs also live with me and daycare is more fun with friends! Shadow is absolutely bonkers but she is friendly and loves to play. She’s two and will be primarily responsible for tiring your dog out with her high energy level. Shadow has shown some resource guarding so no toys are allowed. They will have plenty of fun without them though! She is very protective of her food. Your dog will always eat separately, but no reactive dogs should stay with us for the time being. She doesn’t like when other dogs go where her food is stored so that would likely cause issues. She’s a really sweet girl but has her quirks that we need to be aware of. She is crate training and will be there if I leave, depending on the situation. Please no reactive dogs at this time as I work with Shadow. Howie is my soul dog and is a decade old. He’s usually chill as a cucumber but can put up with little menaces (like his little sister). He serves as the referee and checks everyone if they act up too much. Your dog will be tired after a long day of her loving harassment. Walks are wholly focused on your pet, unless you want them to have company. They’ll get one or two a day but will have outside access the majority of the day.
A typical day
Two dogs live at my house, so they will always have friends with them. They can go outside whenever, on either floor. Your dog will start the day getting acclimated with my house and their new dog friends. We’ll typically go on a walk and eat lunch then do the same before dinner. The rest of the day will be spent playing with the other pups, napping, and getting lots of lovings. I live next to Patterson park and walk everywhere, so they can join in on urban adventures at local coffee shops, restaurants, shops, and dog friendly bars from Highlandtown to Fells point. They’ll play with my dogs outside, bark at the neighborhood from the balcony, and cuddle for naps wherever they please. Your dogs will eat separately from others so they can dine in peace. I may (will) sneak them a few treats and a peanut butter or yogurt licky mat if you give permission!

Pet care experience
I got my first dog ever a decade ago and I raised him to be perfect, with no professional training for either of us. Then, I quit my ten year career in digital marketing to follow my passion and work entirely with dogs. I worked as a bark ranger at Bark Social and made dog safety my top priority, drastically reducing humping and the ensuing scuffles. I loudly advocated for a transformation of safety rules while I worked there. I volunteer at BARCS and am aiming to get advanced training for different dog behavior needs. Howie is my top reference. I adopted my second dog (Shadow) after instantly bonding with her at my old job. Shadow is bonkers and her parent has health issues, so Shadow needed a home where she can be her true self. Dogs are my world and I will give your pet all the love and affection they deserve (which is all of it because they are perfect).

Reviews
Great communication and pictures. I could see that my dog was having a great time. Very responsive when I needed to extend a day!
My dog doesn’t usually like people, but she loves Daniel!!
Daniel was wonderful with my puppy, Lestat! Lestat came home happy and tired from all the playing, which tells me he had an amazing time. This was his first time socializing up close with other animals, and Daniel made the experience awesome and comfortable for him. I truly appreciate Daniel and his wonderful fur babies for helping Lestat feel safe and welcome. I highly recommend him!
Daniel was super accommodating and Ellie had lots of fun with him throughout the day! He took lots of pics and when I picked Ellie up, she kept going back to Daniel for more scritches. His two dogs were also very sweet.
