Availability

I work remotely as a software engineer, which gives me flexibility for morning, midday, and evening visits when my Rover calendar shows availability. During a typical drop-in, I begin with a calm greeting and potty break, then take care of fresh water, feeding, oral medication if needed, and activity suited to your pet—whether that’s a walk, playtime, enrichment, or quiet companionship. Before leaving, I make sure your pet is comfortable, tidy their immediate area, check doors and gates, and send you photos and updates. I keep my calendar current so the availability you see reflects the times I can reliably give your pet my full attention.

Let me know if your dog has any particular or special needs, if feeding or medication is a part of the drop-in, and lastly if they get along with other dogs.

If you're interested in your dog having some playtime enrichment, Mochi (who is fully trained and wonderfully playful) would love to have play date. Of course that’s not a non-negotiable, but you’d be missing out 😉

Daniel was amazing!! I couldn’t have asked for a better sitter. He took such great care of my dog and was incredibly caring, attentive, and thoughtful throughout the entire stay. He followed all of my instructions perfectly and made sure my dog was comfortable, happy, and well cared for. I really appreciated how responsible and trustworthy he was, and it gave me so much peace of mind knowing my dog was in such good hands. I would absolutely recommend him to anyone looking for a reliable, loving, and attentive sitter! I will definitely be booking with him again!!

Daniel did a great job walking our dog Appa on a short notice request! He was on time and very confident with our pup. He brought his own dog on the walk too and Appa seemed to really enjoy her company! He sent photos and listened to our request to let her stop to sniff often since she’s a big sniffer.

Each sitter joining Rover needs to pass a background check. And by booking on Rover, you can get photo & message updates, 24/7 support, and reimbursement for eligible vet care.
