Genuine + Dependable Business Owner
Pet care experience
I'm a pet care professional with over 14 years of experience running my own pet care business in Brooklyn and Los Angeles, and a mountain of references from both businesses and clients. I recently relocated to LA with my wife, where we run and operate Faye Fern Creative, a bespoke design, event, and lifestyle company. I'm also a session musician who has studied Psychoacoustics in relation to calming dogs and cats. Despite my careers in other industries, my genuine passion for animals makes it impossible for me to abandon my roots in pet care altogether, as it's hard for me to imagine not working with the dogs and cats I've come to love. I can provide any care needed for your furry ones (walks, sits, puppy and kitten care, etc.), and I also offer hiking trips as part of my daycare.
Reviews
I’ve known Daniel for close to 15 years in both a professional capacity and personal. As a fellow dogwalker/pet care provider/small business owner I have worked closely with Daniel over the years. His empathy for animals is unparalleled. Any dog client of mine lucky enough to have had Daniel cover for me in my absence will tell you that he is one of the kindest, most personable people. He would surely be an asset in whichever field he chose but, lucky for pets, Daniel is more of an animal person!
Daniel is a responsible and reliable dog walker. He has cared for our friendly but shy PWD for over 5 years. He’s also a friendly, flexible person to have in your village. I’d highly recommend him!
I highly recommend Dan to take care of your pups! He worked with us for 4+ years taking care of our two dogs and creating a very strong bond with each other them! When we walked through the door, each dog gave him a full body wag and basically covered him in slobbery kisses! Dan is responsible, caring and reliable. He stayed with our dogs, walked our dogs and took them on epic hikes. Your pet will love him and you will too!
Whenever my wife and I are on vacation, Daniel house sits for us and takes care of Amos, our Chow Chow. He also walks Amos when we are unable to ourselves. Our dog tends to be suspicious of strangers and has separation anxiety but Daniel is patient and gentle with him. We were thrilled to see a friendship develop between them. Daniel’s professionalism, experience and expertise is evident in his handling of Amos. He is understanding of Amos’s needs as well as ours. We never have to worry when we leave him with our dog and are appreciative of his responsiveness to texts and booking requests. He also leaves our home in impeccable condition after house sitting, keeping our plants watered and the place clean. Great sitter!
About Daniel F.
Communication
Skills
Safety, trust & environment
In your home as well as the outdoors, I consider communication, empathy and activity a necessity, and I pour my full attention into keeping your furry one safe and stimulated through a balance of rest, exercise, and play. However, I understand that each pet is unique and my pet care plans are tailored to the specific needs, medical requirements, and energy levels of each animal.

Information Daniel F. would like to know about your pet
I would love to know about any special needs your pets have (e.g. allergies, medical conditions, whether they get along with other animals). What are their favorite activities?
A typical day
Your fuzzy ones and I will either be doing our daily walk around their favorite bathroom stop, or we will be skating, running, or hiking together as part of our daycare activities.
