Safety, trust & environment

I appreciate the trust it takes to let someone watch over your animals, and I'll be sure to respect that trust. You can count on me to leave your home and pets safe, secure, and cared for! I'll generally want to meet your animal(s) before I visit them alone, just so they know you can vouche for me and I'm not a total stranger.

Information Daniel P. would like to know about your pet

Any medical needs or personality quirks are helpful to know about, if for no other reason than to give me a better idea if what makes your pet tick! I have experience with reactive dogs but will always appreciate a heads up so I'm not caught off guard.

A typical day

Depending on your animal's preferences, I'm eager to throw a ball around the yard, go on a walk, or just sit in the room and provide company. I love providing scritches and rubs if that's their speed, but I'm most happy to act as a companion while I'm keeping an eye on them!

Pet care experience

I'm a current owner of two cats and have cared for pets ranging from dogs and turtles to rabbits and rats since I was around 10. I have a good track record with pets that don't usually like men (something I am immensely proud of!) I've been tagging along with my partner's Rover visits for 4 years and have always loved meeting new animals! I know how important it is to get updates and pictures of your pets when you're away and I'll be sure to keep you well updated.

Daniel has looked after our cats several times. Trustworthy and reliable. Always send pictures and an update at the end of his visit. We highly recommend.

Daniel took good care of the boys. He updated regularly and they were all happy and calm when I got home. Would recommend!

Dan always makes sure our pets are well-cared for, and it’s such a relief while we are away from home!

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.
