Always a positive experience with Daniel. Frequent communication, he does things with our dogs like walks and taking to the lake and parks. Amazing sitter, highly recommend!

This was our first time having Auggie stay with Daniel, and hopefully it won't be his last. Daniel took the time to learn all about Auggie and what makes him comfortable, his routines, and his needs which made us feel confident right from the start. We were away for about two and a half weeks, and Daniel sent us photos and updates nearly every day. Auggie stayed with Daniel over the Fourth of July, which isn't always an easy time for some dogs, but Daniel took wonderful care of him. Between the walks and the opportunity to spend time in his fenced-in backyard, I know Auggie had a great stay. We couldn't have asked for a better experience!

This was my first time using Rover, and we couldn't have asked for a better experience. Daniel took great care of my two anxious dogs, Kaiya and Ivy, during their overnight stay. He was reliable, communicative, and made me feel comfortable leaving my dogs in his care. Kaiya and Ivy were happy, well cared for, and clearly received plenty of attention during their stay. It gave me peace of mind knowing they were in good hands. I would definitely book with him again and highly recommend him to anyone looking for a trustworthy and caring dog sitter!

Another great visit with Dan! Levi is an almost three year old golden retriever with a lot of energy. I know when he’s with Dan he gets plenty of walks and exercise which I really appreciate. Dan’s house is Levi’s home away from home.

Pets

A typical day

I like to take dogs with me to the forest preserve that is nearby to enjoy the new smells. the dogs will always get three daily walks and if time permits we often venture out to parks and state forests for longer hikes. dogs that are up for it go mountainboarding and trips to the beach when weather permits.
