Information Daniel S. would like to know about your pet

Knowing as much as possible about your pet ahead of time helps me provide the best care Taylor to their needs. Here are some details that are important to share: daily routine, personality, health needs, favorite activities, commands, and emergency info.

A typical day

A typical day with your pet is filled with fun, care, and plenty of tail wags (or purrs), here’s what you can expect. We’ll start the day with walk or some backyard playtime to burn off energy and enjoy the fresh air. I’ll provide breakfast and ensure their water bowl is full and clean. Midday is a perfect time for a longer walk, some interactive play, or even a cuddle session, whatever your pet loves most. For high energy pets, we’ll play fetch or engage with their favorite toys while more relaxed pets can enjoy gentle attention, or a nap in a cozy spot. We’ll have a quieter afternoon with activities like mental stimulation games to keep their mind engaged. If needed, I’ll provide a second walk or potty break. After dinner, I’ll spend quality time with your pet, whether that’s a final stroll, snuggling on the couch, or a calming activity to wind down. Throughout the day, I’ll make sure your pet feels loved, safe, and entertained. Whether it’s chasing toys in the backyard, enjoying a favorite park trail, or getting plenty of belly rubs, I tailor every day to match your pets, energy level, personality, and preferences

Daniel was great with our 1 year old energetic pup, and sent a helpful summary and cute photos during his visit!

Daniel was such an incredible sitter. He took care of our dog over a long holiday weekend while my wife and I got married. He even went as far as to bring our dog to the wedding venue for quick post ceremony pictures. He was very kind, communicative, easy to work with and good with our dog. We would absolutely recommend Daniel!!

Daniel was great! He was super reliable, communicative, and made my dog comfortable. He prioritized good, long walks which was exactly what I asked for. Would have him back again!
