Home
Information Daniel S. would like to know about your pet
I would like to know ahead of time if anyone’s pet needs any special needs or is taking medication that requires certain direction or if there’s certain things I shouldn’t do with their pet that I might think is more normal or common
A typical day
We will go to dog parks, if that’s ok with the client ahead of time. Also, so for hikes, i live near some great trails that people rarely use. Or if its raining out all day we can spend time in my house and i can play with them then or take them out for a fun rainy walk.

Pet care experience
Hi! My name is Daniel Smith and I’m a passionate dog lover with professional experience working with dogs of all sizes and personalities. I previously worked at a busy dog daycare where I cared for multiple dogs at once, supervised playgroups, and made sure every pup stayed safe, happy, and comfortable. That experience taught me how to read dog behavior, handle different temperaments, and give each dog the attention they need. I was also a certified dog groomer in the past, so I’m very comfortable handling dogs, maintaining cleanliness, and making sure pets feel calm and cared for during hands-on care. I’m not currently licensed I currently offer: • Dog walking • Drop-in visits • House sitting Whether your dog needs a fun walk, companionship while you're away, or overnight care, I’ll treat them like my own. My goal is always to make sure your pet feels safe, loved, and stress-free while you’re gone. I’m reliable, patient, and attentive to each dog’s unique needs. I also believe in keeping owners updated with messages and photos so you can feel confident your pet is in good hands. I’d love to meet you and your pup!
Reviews
Daniel was great with our two large dogs! He helped us out in a pinch and was super responsive. He followed our instructions to the T, was thorough, sent us updates and pics of our dogs, and left our house clean when we arrived home. He is very thoughtful with the dogs and despite our old fellow being incredibly difficult to med, Daniel was diligent in trying and found out a new med trick for us!! We will use him again. Thank you Daniel!


Dan sent pictures of our pups and was very communicative. He had great questions previous to house/dog sitting that made us feel comfortable with his expertise. The dogs seemed to connect with him and were happy during his stay. Will definitely rebook him in the future!
Dan is so wonderful! My dog loves being with Dan! Dan is a really great communicator, on time, sends updates and photos, and truly cares for you and your pet. I would recommend Dan 10/10!
Dan is super communicative, loving, timely, and it is clear he is a natural with animals. I recommend him to all of my friends because he takes care of my pup like his own! His dog, Rain, is great with other dogs and will be an awesome new friend for yours too! Thanks so much Dan!
