Highlights
Pet care experience
Y’all’s pets cared with family love
Hello there! I'm Daniel. My love for animals began as far back as I can remember, and I’ve dedicated my life to caring for them—from dogs and cats to smaller pets and even insects. With 15 years of experience, I'm currently studying canine and feline ethology. I can offer basic grooming too (extra service) and am certified in pet CPR. My wife is also an approved caregiver, so your pet gets twice the love for the price of one. I'm glad to be here for you, as a helping and trusted hand!

Ratings and reviews
Daniel & Hillary took great care of Thor on his first stay with them! We appreciated all the pictures and videos they sent us. They are very communicative and that helped put our mind at ease that Thor was comfortable over there. They played with him and even took Thor on a walk-- which he loves! Thanks again!!
Daniel and Hillary were amazing! They sent so many pictures and videos and kept my up to sate. Thanks so much!
Jimmy had so much fun in the care of Daniel and Hillary! They are on top of everything, great communication, pictures, videos. We could tell Jimmy was in great hands. We will for sure book with them again.
Daniel and Hillary were amazing with taking care of Goldie! They were very friendly and accommodating to us. We received pictures and videos of him throughout the day. As it’s our first time using Rover, they put me and my family’s worries at ease. After the first night with them Goldie was back to his playful self☺️ Will definitely look for them again to take care of our golden baby💛
Crash and Ghost had a great time with this beau5iful family! I got lots of photos and daily check ins multiple times a day. I always feel at ease when my dogs stay here 🥰🫶
I know Bailey is loved and taken care of when she is with Daniel and Hillary. They send lots of pictures and videos showing her daily activities and interactions!

Schedule
I work Monday through Friday, but I’m available after 2:30pm every weekday. On Saturdays and Sundays, I’m fully available. Overnights aren’t a problem either — there is always somebody at home and can handle morning meetings, so your pets are cared for around the clock!
Where your pet will stay
Home characteristics
Safety, trust & environment
In our home, pets are treated like family. We’ve got two friendly cats who are used to visitors, a pet playground in our community, and a cozy balcony set up with water, toys, and a fan so they can relax. My wife, my son, and I all share the care — my wife has a natural love for animals, and even my homeschooled son has learned empathy and responsibility through caring for them. When I care for pets in a client’s home, I follow their routine closely — feeding, walks, playtime, and cuddles — just the way y’all would do it yourselves. My goal is always to make pets feel safe, loved, and at home, whether they’re staying with us or I’m looking after them in their own space.
Pets
A typical day
We’ve got a pet playground right here in our residential area — perfect for supervised playtime with toys, fetch, or just hanging out together. We also take walks to nearby dog-friendly parks. For example, we visit places around Shavano Park and along Leon Creek Greenway trails, which offer great trails and open space. Between safe balcony time, play sessions, walks, and good rest, pets under our care get plenty of love, exercise, and calm downtime.

- It helps a lot to know your pet’s routine — things like feeding times, favorite activities, and what makes them feel comfortable. Please share any medical needs, special instructions, or how they get along with other pets. That way I can make sure they feel safe, loved, and right at home with us.
