Pet care experience

Tennyson Tail-Wagger

I've grown up with dogs and have taken care of them since I was a child. I am frequently the go-to dog sitter for friends. I just got laid off my job and want to do something that brings me joy. I have no pets and I will only watch one dog at a time (no cats). Your dog will get all the attention and peaceful environment.

Daniel was a great Rover! Our dog can have a challenging personality and he was immediately comfortable. On top of being terrific with Archie, Daniel’s service was excellent as well. He accommodated our schedules by both picking him up and dropping him off, which was so helpful. We will absolutely be using Daniel again in the future.

I extended my booking with Daniel without hesitation while I was recovering from knee surgery because he was so good, and knowing Bodie was having a blast made it an easy decision. Daniel took Bodie on multiple walks per day (in excess of my expectations) and truly cared for him. The entire time I had peace of mind that he was in great hands and appreciated how responsive he was, and all the pictures and videos was extremely reassuring. Daniel took Bodie on several adventures around the neighborhood and ensured he felt safe and secure while in his home. An added bonus was having Marie to care for Bodie as well- two human pawrents are better than one! I would not hesitate to re-book Daniel again, and cannot recommend him highly enough.

Daniel watched Bodie for 5 nights while I was recovering from knee surgery and I didn’t hesitate to extend the booking knowing I had peace of mind that Bodie was cared for, and was having the best staycation adventure. He’s been utterly spoiled rotten with multiple walks a day, interspersed with naps and cuddles and playing with his toys, which is evident from the daily photo and video dump. It was very clear immediately that Bodie was in good hands with Daniel and Marie, who asked great questions during our thorough meet and greet, and there is no better feeling knowing he is comfortable, safe, and happy. I would highly recommend Daniel and Marie and wouldn’t hesitate to ask him again to care for Bodie. Five stars!

I can’t recommend Daniel highly enough as a dog sitter. He has watched our dogs many times over the years, both overnight and during the day, and he is consistently wonderful with them. Very few people are as naturally attuned to dogs as Daniel is. Even at social gatherings, he’s often the one happily spending time with the dogs instead of people — playing with them, keeping them company, and making sure they’re comfortable. Our dogs absolutely adore him. Out of the hundreds of people they meet in a year, Daniel is one of their very favorite humans, and they have total excitement meltdowns whenever they see him. That kind of reaction says a lot about the trust and bond he builds with animals. Daniel is also incredibly trustworthy, kind, and responsible. We feel completely comfortable leaving both our dogs and our home in his care. Any pet parent would be lucky to have him looking after their animals. I highly recommend him to anyone looking for a thoughtful, attentive, and genuinely dog-loving sitter.

I've been trusting Dan with my dog Eva for nearly a decade, and I can't recommend him highly enough. He's watched her more times than I can count, and every single stay has been a great experience. What sets Dan apart is how attentive and communicative he is — I always get regular texts and photos throughout Eva's stay, so I never have to wonder how she's doing. He's also incredibly patient with her quirks and has been a lifesaver when it comes to her sensitive stomach. Her feeding routine can be pretty involved, and Dan follows it to the letter every time without complaint. If you're looking for someone who will treat your dog like their own and genuinely care about their wellbeing, Dan is your person.

I frequently dog sit for friends. I'm just making it official with Rover. I live in a condo with my girlfriend, one block from Berkley Lake Park. Great trails and a dog park to explore.

A typical day

A typical day will be frequent walks in nearby Berkley Lake Park and dog park if requested. Lots of love and attention will be given to your special friend.
