Trustworthy & Reliable Pet Lover

Pet care experience

Proud cat daddy with a lifetime of experience caring for dogs & cats. I am a responsible professional with a full-time, flexible & remote job. I'm available for walks, pop in visits & an overall good time with your pets. You are 100% of your pets life, and I'll be sure help ease their yearning for you while you enjoy that well-deserved PTO relaxing on the beach or hiking the mountains. It's not just about making sure they have food & water (even though I will be sure to feed & water them of course). I know what it's like leaving your fur-baby at home when you are away and I'll do my best to ease any anxiety you may have by sending loads of pics & videos of them wagging their tails or purring in some fresh boxes.

Daniel is a dog's best friend. He loves​ them more than life itself. He treats them like they are human, loves and cares for them like no other. He's a super awesome person and would be the greatest person from job.

Daniel is just so great with dogs. He has been my number one choice for house sitting our furry children when we go away. Would highly recommend him

Daniel has grown up with dogs most of his life and has always treated them with the utmost respect and love, whether they are his own or someone else's. I would confidently trust Daniel with my own dogs.

I adapt the care routine to the specific needs of the pet and remember that each pet is unique. Regular communication with the owner is important to ensure that their specific care instructions are followed, and any concerns are addressed promptly.
