Pet care experience
I have been taking care of animals since I was a kid. In middle school, I cared for my neighbor's cats while she was on vacation and became her go-to for her summer trips for years. I watched those kitties grow old and administered medication in their later years. I grew up with small and medium sized dogs, but have no qualms about big ones. I have house sat multiple times for friends with large 80+ lb dogs and am familiar with a variety of pet care needs. I have also had the good fortune to find people's lost dogs and help them get returned home safely. Both times I happened to spot them from my car while going about my day. It's always worth pausing to help an animal in need. I am perfectly happy doing long walks and multiple walks a day. In the event you are looking for a sitter, I believe in leaving things better than I found them, so you can count on your home being well kept upon your return! I do a lot of traveling and know no one wants to return home to a mess or a place that feels lived in by a stranger. Additionally, I'm also very communicative and tech savvy. I'm happy to provide any video, photo, or text updates you would like.

Very kind. On time. Sweet to my dog, and keeps me informed of everything!
Almost nobody I know loves their dog as much as Daniel does. He cares for her like she's the most important thing in the world, and there's a reason why in his family of 6, he's his dog's favorite person. His love of animals very clearly extends to every dog he meets, and there have been more than a few times where he's had us go out of our way to visit animal shelters to give the dogs there some one-on-one interaction, or stopped a passerby to see if he could pet their dog. He is caring and empathetic and responsible and would give any dog in his care all the love, attention, and proper treatment it needs.
Daniel is one of the most responsible people I know. I've known him for years and he always follows through on his commitments. He gives ample notice if anything comes up and works to reschedule if needed. His love for his own dog is a prevalent part of who he is as a person, and he would be an excellent choice for anyone looking to hire a dogsitter. I would trust him to not only take care of the basic needs of my dogs, but to make them feel loved and safe while I am away.
