MBA in Petsitting, Flexible Rates!

Welcome to Banana PetSitting! My wife, brother, and I have a wide range of services. We provide flexible rates and accommodations to give my clients the peace of mind while they are on vacation, at work, or any other needs. I (Daniel) mainly run the account and I have my wife and brother to assist me if I’m not available. l have taken great care of my own pets and I want to give that same care to other pets. I have a passion in providing quality care to clients by giving updates to owners frequently through pictures and videos. I have my Bachelor's degree in Psychology. I have my Master’s in Business Administration (secretly specializing in PetSitting). I eventually want to have my own business in training dogs to help people with disabilities. I am mostly available in the morning from Monday-Thursday and all day Sunday. I would prefer communication through Rover at the before of our meet and greet. I am willing to drive further than 5 miles to take care of your dog, depending on the rate, to accommodate my trip to your place. I have a flexible availability that can include dog walking and housesitting. I currently work from home so I am able to watch them throughout the day. The times I am usually away from home are in the mornings where I walk dogs. I am flexible with short and long-term schedules as well. N/a for dog boarding at this time. I am able to provide housesitting where I stay at a clients home and will make accommodations as needed to make sure your pet feels comfortable and safe while you are away.

Gabe always takes great care of our senior girl. He does great with her eye drops and hygiene needs. We repeatedly book with Daniel and Gabe because of their great attention to care and patience handling our dogs special needs.

Daniel and Gabe are excellent to work with. I have booked with them numerous times. Highly recommend Gabe. He has such amazing patience for senior dogs with special needs and is comfortable with medication administration.

Daniel was a fantastic sitter for my cat over the holidays. He was able to come around the same time every day and did everything needed for my cat and went above and beyond to anticipate my pets needs. He sent many photos and updates, and was very quick to respond when contacted. Daniel was great, hoping he is available the next time I travel!!

I do not have any breed preferences. I would like to know the dog's daily routine before sitting him or her so I can maintain that same routine while I am dog sitting. I would like to also know any allergies so I do not give the dog the wrong treats. I would also like to know the personality of the dog so I can adapt to him or her. For day care and boarding, I would like to have your pet with their most updated vaccinations as I have pets of my own and other pets may be present as well.
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.
