Fun, Relaxing Walks for Your Dog
Pet care experience
A recent college graduate, I'm looking forward to staying active in my community by providing local pet care! I've almost always lived with a dog nearby, whether it was my family's West Highland Terrior growing up, or my current housemate's Bernadoodle puppy. I'm very comfortable around dogs of all ages. This summer I worked at a local pet store in Minnesota where I became quite proficient with the technical side of animal care. Is your pup a picky eater? I know the right brands, food combos, and stores to buy special products. Is your dog a non-stop chewing machine? I've got a few tricks and tips to help you out. *What Your Dog Can Expect on Their Walk or Visit* •They set the pace: running or walking (or maybe rolling in the grass?) •Belly rubs, if they want •Walking until their heart's content •They will have my full attention and care •I am understanding of the pet's unique needs (as requested by owner) •I have a flexible schedule •I will be punctual (unless leisure is needed for the pup, of course)
Reviews
Daniel is super! Very prompt and a great communicator! Really appreciated his help and my dog loved the long walks. Can’t wait to have him come back.
Thank you Daniel! So convenient and easy to set up!
Dan watched our 14 week old goldendoodle puppy overnight so that my husband and I could get away to visit friends. I can't recommend him enough! He was thorough in asking questions about our dog's normal routine, engaged and gentle in playing with our puppy, and was flexible in scheduling. It was obvious he loves animals, and his experience with them showed. He'll be my first choice next time I'm looking for a dogsitter!
About Daniel J.
Communication
Skills
Safety, trust & environment
The health and well-being of your dog is top priority! Often what is safe for one dog might not be safe for another. That's why I'm diverse in my safety awareness. That means: calm & familiar environments for anxious puppies, a firm grip on the leash for dogs who are prone to chase cars, and no rambunctious games for dogs with joint troubles. Your four-legged friend will be in capable hands.
Information Daniel J. would like to know about your pet
Let me know any rules you want me to encourage! If they're not allowed on the sofa, they won't be on the sofa. If you don't want them playing tug of war, we'll leave that game alone. I accept requests from any breed of dog (as well as cats!), just as long as I'm familiar with their routines.
A typical day
•I'm a big fan of exploring new trails and paths and finding new parks. Your dog will have no shortage of adventures! •I'm essentially an expert at belly rubs. •We'll play with their favorite toys, of course •The rest is up to the dog
