I am a little biased in this testimony because Daniel is my child. But even if he weren't, I would (and do) absolutely trust him with my dog and recommend him as a dog sitter. He has had a dog for 10 years and he was the one who chose her to be our puppy when he was 8 years old. He takes care of her daily and now that he is 18, he even takes her to the vet when needed. Daniel is gentle and loving with all animals, but he particularly loves dogs--all dogs, but mostly larger dogs. In addition to his dog, he also currently has a guinea pig and has had hamsters and a bird in recent years. He nursed a sick bird with a terminal illness for 4 months and did an amazing job. He is reliable and trustworthy, responsible and honest. He has had a love for animals all his life and he intends to have a career with animals (He is planning to go to college this fall and earn a degree in animal behavior). He has volunteered at the Humane Society caring for both cats and dogs. He currently works part time at Brookfield Zoo. He needs some extra income to supplement his job at the zoo to save for college next year and wants a job that involves interaction with animals. I am confident Daniel would care for your dog as if it were his own.
