Safety, trust & environment

I have a fenced-in backyard of about 3/4 an acre. My two small dogs are friendly and we are glad to introduce them if this interests you and your dog. Our dogs have free run of the house and sleep on the bed.

Information Daniel S. would like to know about your pet

I'm mostly looking to dog sit/walk at your home but we are willing to accept easy-going dogs on a case-by-case basis after everyone can meet up. Once we know how all dogs react we can move forward more easily for future requests.

A typical day

I'm up by 6:30 am to get the kids going for school or start setting myself up for a successful day of working and maintaining the household. Bash is by my side most of the day while his twin sister Brooklyn tends to stay in the bedroom with my wife, who also works from home. We go outside many, many, many times a day to sniff things while chasing bunnies or birds or each other around. I run a 5k three times a week but nobody is forced to join.

A Clear Choice in Clear Spring

Pet care experience

As a work-from-home father, my flexible schedule accommodates needy pups or cats requiring frequent visits or overnight care. I currently have 2 small dogs and am comfortable with dogs of all sizes. If you live in this area, I'm here for you! I also run (slowly) so if you have a dog that wants to run off energy for a few miles, I'm in!

Daniel is very reliable, professional, and all around a pleasant individual! Communication is always easy with him and he’s great with handling my giant English Mastiff. We’re so grateful for Daniel and highly recommend him to anyone and everyone!

Great with all animals! I would trust this sitter with my dogs any day. Reliable and trustworthy, and animals flock to him - a true natural!

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.
