Hi I’m Danny! I work full time from home so I can give your furry friend all the love and attention they deserve! I recently lost my 14 year old black lab, Jake, and am dealing with a bit of empty nest syndrome. Not quite ready for the full responsibility of owning my own dog again, I’ve found that dog sitting is a great way for me to feed my need for a furry companion without taking on the full responsibility as a true full time pet owner. I am free most weekdays and weekends, but feel free to check about availability if needed. Please let me watch your dog :)

Safety, trust & environment
I have a fenced in back yard with a turf surface, so plenty of space for your pup to lounge. Also plenty of floor space indoors for a bed and/or crate if needed. Pets are also allowed on the furniture, and to be honest, it’s highly encouraged because I’ll probably force them to cuddle on the couch anyways.

Information Daniel W. would like to know about your pet
Please me know about any special needs or care your dog may need! I have plenty of experience caring for dogs with extra needs but would like to prepare properly if needed.
A typical day
I work from home so can give your pup plenty of attention during the day, but I also go on a daily walk for about an hour after work as well as living right next to dog beach in case your furry friend wants to catch some rays and go for a swim.

Pet care experience
I’ve spent 20+ years in a house with dogs and cats, from puppy/kitten through senior ages, so I have lots of pet care experience. I most recently started watching friends pets when needed after losing my soul dog passed to hang out with dogs again, but I do not currently have any pets of my own.
Reviews
Daniel is a true dog lover and an incredibly kind human! From our very first interaction on Rover, it was evident how deeply he loves and cares for dogs. Our Albert is a shy, mellow guy who isn’t a great fit for daycare or spending time with lots of other dogs (he much prefers his human friends) so finding someone who understood his personality and could make him feel comfortable was really important to us. Before Albert’s stay, Daniel was more than happy to meet him, welcome us into his beautiful home, and walk us through what his day-to-day routine would look like and how Albert would fit into it. That immediately gave us so much peace of mind. Albert stayed with Daniel for 10 days, and throughout the entire stay, Daniel sent us plenty of photos and thoughtful updates. What impressed us most was how attentive he was to Albert’s behavior and needs. He didn’t just follow a set routine, he paid attention to how Albert was doing, adapted his care accordingly, and gave him the right amount of exposure and encouragement to help him feel comfortable and at home. Albert was SO happy and absolutely loved all the attention, kindness, and affection Daniel and his wife gave him during his stay. Daniel really knows how to read dogs, respect their boundaries, and help them feel safe. He asked about our preferences for things like treats and supervision, respected everything we shared, and was always quick and easy to communicate with. You can tell this isn’t just a job for Daniel—he genuinely loves being around dogs and wants to give them the best possible care. Knowing Albert was with someone who truly enjoyed having him there made being away from him so much easier. We are incredibly grateful to Daniel and his wife for taking such wonderful care of our little guy and will 1000% be booking with Daniel again for our future dog-sitting needs. We couldn’t recommend him enough!
Daniel took great care of my dog Bean for an extended stay! Highly recommend him for your pups!
Danny did a great job with Scout, sent pictures regularly and I could tell they were having fun. I appreciated his care attention for my dog while I was gone. I could tell that she was taking well care and would totally choose him care for Scout again!. Thanks, Danny!
Oliver loved hanging out with Danny! You can tell he really loves having dogs around!! He was super accommodating to my schedule and was a great communicator. Oliver was so happy and literally didn’t want to leave his house so it’s safe to say we’d recommend him for sure and are eager to have him watch our dog again.
