Dogs and Daniel: Join the pack!

Pet care experience

Follow me on insta @dogsanddaniel I love all animals, but especially dogs. Prior to the pandemic, I was had been doing Rover for almost 5 years and it became not only my favorite hobby and side gig, but a huge part of my social circle. Funny enough, many of my best friends from the city are the dogs that I've watched and their humans. When Covid hit, I ended up leaving the city for over a year to live with my now wife in Brazil. While there, we ended up adopting a dachsund and bringing her french bulldog from mom's house. After an amazing year, we've moved back to San Francisco with our two pups. They are super friendly and love all different breeds, as do I! We love adventures, such as hiking in Marin or getting wet at bakers beach, but are also content with an afternoon walk and play at Alamo square. I'm pretty high energy and am a big fan of tiring dogs out with plenty of exercise. However, if you're dog isn't the active type, we will all adapt (my dogs are moderate energy level). Even before I had my own dogs, I always recommended a meet and greet both you, your pup, and myself--just to make sure it's a good fit. We live in a nice one bedroom apt with a patio area that the dogs can hang in and get some sun. As you can see from my instagram, I'm a big picture person and communicator. You'll be kept up to date on your dog's vacation.

We left our little puppy Mammoth with Daniel for about 10 days and he really went above and beyond. Mammoth and Daniel's puppy Joca were pretty much immediately inseparable from what we could tell. Honestly, we think Mammoth is regretting being back with us as he misses his best bud now. Daniel had amazing communication with us through the duration that we were gone, getting frequent updates and pics/movies to see all the good times Mammoth was having. We'll be looking forward to having Daniel watch Mammoth again soon!

Daniel took great care of my dog Sasha. He sent many photos and videos of Sasha playing at his home and on walks. I could tell that she was very happy at his cozy place with his two other dogs and the two other boarding dogs. I look forward to sending Sasha over again for another “vacation” of her own soon!

We are so glad we found Daniel and now have our go-to Rover for when we are out of town in the future. This was our first time leaving our dog with a Rover and Daniel made sure we were constantly updated with photos etc. He is a very experienced dog person and we felt like she was in great hands the whole time. He was also very flexible with pick up/drop off timing which we appreciated.

We can’t thank Daniel and his wife enough for taking such wonderful care of our 13-year-old male golden retriever Shadow for 5 days / 4 nights. We were in the middle of planning our SF wedding, when we realized that we needed to find someone to take care of Shadow for several days. While exploring several options we connected with Daniel on Rover. After an introductory call, we felt comfortable that Daniel was the right choice for us. Drop off was super easy and it was clear Shadow felt right at home. During the hectic preparation and rehearsal days, Daniel sent frequent pics of Shadow to reassure his worried parents. Daniel took great care of Shadow and went above and beyond. He was kind enough to keep Shadow on his raw diet so he didn’t have to eat anything he was not used to. He even drove Shadow over to our wedding reception at the Presidio so we could take pictures! Those turned out to be some of our favorite photos from that day. Thank you so much, Daniel! We will definitely contact him for future stays in the city!

Information Daniel S. would like to know about your pet

No breed preference. One thing I've loved about Rover are all the different types of dogs we get to spend time with. All sorts of sizes, shapes, colors, and of course personalities.

A typical day

Depending on your dog, we'll almost always visit a dog park once a day (Alamo, Alta Plaza, or Rossi) and take a couple walks in addition. If I have a date for drinks or dinner at night, I'm all about those parklets and bringing the dogs along!
