Highlights
Pet care experience
Loving & Reliable Dog Sitter
I’ve always loved dogs and have lots of experience caring for them. I regularly dog sit for neighbors, family friends, and people I know, and I’m comfortable caring for dogs with different personalities, energy levels, and needs. I have experience caring for multiple dogs at once, longer stays, and administering medication when needed. I’m reliable, patient, and attentive, and I genuinely enjoy spending time with dogs—whether that means going for walks, playing, giving them plenty of attention, or simply keeping them company. I’ll treat your dog like my own and make sure they feel safe, comfortable, and well cared for while you’re away.

Ratings and reviews
Daniel watched our 8 year old boxer mix while we were out of town for a week. She felt comfortable as soon as we arrived. Daniel sent picture updates during and made sure to check in with us periodically as well. He took our dog on lots of long walks which she loves and we could tell how comfortable and happy she was during her stay as well as when we picked her up. I can’t recommend Daniel enough. He took such great care of our dog which allowed us to have a great relaxing week away.
Daniel is a wonderful pet sitter and has taken care of our two dogs while we were out of town. He is an excellent communicator, reliable with scheduling, and has a very loving way with animals. Our dogs and our home were extremely well cared for by Daniel. We were able to relax while away. We highly recommend Daniel without a doubt!
Daniel is dependable, communicative, and has a great attention to detail. I have used Daniel for several years as a dog sitter and walker for my pit bull mix Louie. He has also fostered dogs in the past as they look for a forever home and he has volunteered at animal shelters. Daniel can handle dogs of any size or personality. When I’m away, he gives me updates and sends photos on how my dog is doing. I have recommended Daniel to several of my neighbors who also have nothing but good things to say and appreciate his services.
Daniel helped care for his family dog throughout his childhood, and was always incredibly loving, attentive, and responsible with her. He has also cared for the dogs and homes of friends and family over the years, and respects an owner’s routines and instructions. As a lifelong athlete Daniel is happy to play, walk, and keep up with energetic dogs—especially younger dogs who need plenty of exercise and stimulation. At the same time, he's also really great with older dogs that prefer a slower pace and more relaxed companionship. I would have complete peace of mind leaving my own pet with Daniel.
I've used Daniel to help with my animals multiple times now and he is so attentive. He is always sure to spend as much time with my cat Frankie as possible, giving her a lot of cuddles. Daniel is one of the most reliable pet sitters that I use in my house, and I always feel confident when I travel knowing that my pets are well cared for. Frankie loves Daniel, and gets excited when he comes over, and my past dog, Buffalo was always a fan of Daniel's patience and scratches. I would recommend Daniel for every pet sitting job!
My pup Hearty always love going over to Daniel’s for daycare. He’s incredibly attentive and makes sure Hearty is well taken care of. He gets a plenty of walks and play time too which is great. I can’t recommend Daniel enough, your dog will love it!

Schedule
I work as a teacher’s assistant at a middle school during the school year. I’m available for pet care in the mornings before work and am home around 4 PM, giving me plenty of time for walks, playtime, feeding, and attention in the afternoons and evenings. My weekends are generally free and give me additional flexibility for longer visits and overnight stays. I’m happy to follow each pet’s usual routine and make sure they receive the care, exercise, and companionship they need.

Home characteristics
Safety, trust & environment
Whether I’m caring for your dog in my home or yours, I want them to feel safe, comfortable, and cared for. I have a clean, tidy, and quiet one-bedroom apartment that’s welcoming to dogs, with plenty of space for them to relax! I’ll take the time to get to know your dog, follow their normal routine, and give them lots of attention and care. My goal is for them to feel comfortable with me and enjoy their time while you’re away!
A typical day
Every dog is different, so I like to follow their usual routine and what they enjoy most. A typical day might include walks, playtime, exploring outside, and plenty of attention and cuddles. I also enjoy spending quiet time with them so they feel comfortable and relaxed. Most importantly, I want each dog to have a fun, safe, and happy day while they’re with me!
