Attentive, Enthusiastic Pet Lover
Pet care experience
I have cared for dogs of my own since I was 10 and dogs of others since I was 15. I love dogs and pets with my whole heart, and it is very important to me that they receive intentional, thorough care. I have been a regular, recurring dog sitter for family friends, neighbors, relatives. I have done a substantial amount of pet sitting, house sitting, dog walking; and I always ensure that the dog is getting everything that they need. Because of how frequently I have taken care of these pets, I feel comfortable walking dogs, feeding them, playing with them, bathing them. I have also had dogs of my own for most of my life, and therefore I am used to the day to day care that dogs require and deserve. My dog is now a senior dog, who is blind, so I have become very comfortable with senior dogs and special needs dogs.
Reviews
As next-door neighbors, Daniel grew up with my golden retriever, Baxter. After we had to say good-bye to Baxter, Daniel drew a picture of him in heaven after reading Cythia Rylant's Dog Heaven. Now, Daniel watches Cooper, my current canine friend. Daniel will lovingly care for your pet and keep him safe and happy. I recommend him with my highest regards.
Daniel has looked after both of my dogs multiple times and does an amazing job. He loves my pups just as much as me and they are excited every time he is around. He is responsible and knows how to care for your pets properly. Daniel goes above and beyond while caring for my pets and I’m so grateful I have someone so trustworthy and reliable to look after my babies.
Daniel has watched our dogs on numerous occasions, and I would trust him wholeheartedly with any of our precious pets. He is very responsible, follows all of our directions, and even goes above and beyond our requests. One summer, without us asking, he gave our pups numerous baths, so they felt comfortable and happy, and we came home to well-groomed pets. He took them for more walks than we get around to, which made them very happy. I can’t recommend Daniel enough if you want someone who is caring, thoughtful, and very attentive.

Safety, trust & environment
I have a fenced backyard and a gentle old doggie who spends most of her time asleep or lying around. My house is a safe and dog friendly environment. My other family members are also big dog lovers and will treat your pup well when they are around!
Information Daniel S. would like to know about your pet
Let me know if there are any particular, special needs of the dog! It would also be nice to know ahead of time how they do encountering other dogs on walks. I am flexible and willing to accommodate most needs!
A typical day
I will take your dogs on long walks, give them cuddles, play with them, make sure they have sufficient exercise. I love taking dogs to the nearby dog park, walking through the neighborhood, or even to the beach if the owner is comfortable with that!

I am currently very available! My only commitment is rehearsals for a musical in the evenings (Monday-Friday), so I will have plenty of time to play with your pups, walk them, and love on them. I am free for walks and cuddles and care anytime before 6pm!
