About Daniel H.
Communication
Dog skills
Safety, trust & environment
I focus my entire schedule around your pet's needs. I follow all of the same rules you have for your pets when you are home and require a meeting before the first time I dog sit for you to meet your dog, review your expectations, their food schedules, etc. to make sure everyone is comfortable with everything so you can relax on your time away. I can also send pics of your dogs as often as you would like.
Information Daniel H. would like to know about your pet
I like to meet with you before my first time watching your dog to discuss anything special that your dog may need such as dietary concerns, any medications they take and any special requests/needs you may have, etc. so the dog is most comfortable, their routines are maintained so they are happy and healthy while you are away. I also like to know too what type of communications do you want - I am happy to send photos and updates all day for you, or only reach out if there is an issue - the key is making sure you are comfortable while you are away and ensure that the dog is being taken care of as you expect. I am comfortable with any type of dog that is housebroken, so that is critical to know as well.
A typical day
I love to go out walking with dogs - great way to break up my day and get both of us exercise. I also enjoy doing activities like fetch, tug of war and other games/toys that your dog enjoys!

Experienced Dogsitter
Pet care experience
I have been dog sitting in people's homes for over 15 years. I have watched everything from dachshunds to 100+ pound dogs. I am able to take them on walks, administer medications and follow any special instructions you may have. A pet is a critical member of the family, and I always treat your dog as if it was my own.
Reviews
Daniel stayed with our husky/mix for a week, and she had a wonderful time with him! He walked her 3 times a day, made sure she had her pills, and kept her company almost every minute! The house was clean and tidy when we came home. He was extremely conscientious and clearly loved dogs. We'll definitely be using him again.
Just came home from to our senior dog who Dan was house sitting with and found her in great shape and happy, and the house in great condition. Dan was professional, thoughtful and detail oriented. He even washed and refitted the sheets onto the bed that he stayed in during our time away. It was such a relief to know that our girl was well taken care of, given she requires medication four times a day and can get quite nervous when we first leave. He provided updates and photos at the desired intervals (which he made to sure to ask for our preferences on up front- balancing our need for assurance with also not checking in too often), took out our trash and brought in the mail, fed a newly inherited fish that was not part of the original sitting request, etc. We will definitely be reaching out to him the next time we need a sitter.
Dan is the best! We felt completely at ease leaving Waffles at home with him. He was very easy going but also attentive to detail. He provided waffles with his medicine, vitamins, and walks. Highly recommend.
Dan was amazing, from the initial meet and greet right up to getting home to our pup. He cared for our place like it was his, and looked after our boy with so much care and kindness. We will for sure be reaching out to him again and recommend his services 100%!!
