Ready to love & care for your pup!
Pet care experience
I am a dog-lover through and through and I would be thrilled to take care of your doggo(s)! I have grown up taking care of my own dog as well as the dogs of family members, friends, neighbors, and other Rover-users. My own dog, Lucy, was a rescue, had severe anxiety, and was behaviorally challenging around other people and dogs. I know the importance of staying low, letting dogs come to you and sniff before petting them, and have many techniques for interacting with dogs who have difficult personalities. Through my extensive experience with Lucy and other dogs with different personalities and of assorted sizes, breeds, and ages, I have developed many skills in handling a diverse array of dogs. My condo in Petworth is spacious and is surrounded by green spaces. The condo itself allows for dogs to have ample room to play and get exercise inside. There also is plenty of green space immediately surrounding the building that allows for dogs to get exercise outside and do their business. I also am only a few minutes away from the Upshur Dog Park and Rock Creek Park, so I'm able to take dogs to either if they enjoy socializing, exercising, and roaming the outdoors! The condo also receives plenty of natural light and has large windows so that the dogs can navigate easily during the day and receive plenty of fresh air. Furthermore, the condo is fully equipped with dog beds, blankies, toys, treats and other items to make your pupper feel comfy and at home away from home :) I'm excited to potentially meet and take care of your baby(ies)!
Reviews
Daniel was amazing with my dog! She’s an older pup with some medical needs that he was great about handling and she got along swimmingly with him! I received so many great pictures of her out sniffing on walks and sunbathing at his place, which was lovely. Daniel was also a very quick and responsive communicator which made everything so easy to coordinate! Will definitely hire again!
Daniel was wonderful with my pup Phoebe! He was accommodating of our rather last-minute booking request and communicative throughout her stay, sending adorable updates. When she came home we could tell she had a great time!
Daniel is just the best. He is super communicative, takes our dog on little outings, and she loves being around him. This was our second time using him and we would 100% do it again and again.
Meant well but was seemingly unprepared for normal dog behaviors like barking. Put me in a bad situation of having to find alternative care while out of town.

Safety, trust & environment
My condo is safe and secure and there are never any safety or security issues here. I make sure to keep my unit locked at all times and am extra careful that no pets escape if someone is exiting the unit. My condo is spacious and pristine, which allows for a nice, comfortable living environment for any pets that stay here. I take dogs on frequent walks through the surrounding neighborhood and parks. I also make sure to follow all care instructions thoroughly.

I would love to know a variety of different things about your dog including the following: 1. What kind of breed is your dog? 2. What is the size of your dog? 3. What kinds of activities does your dog like? (i.e. walking, running, ball tossing, doing tricks, swimming, etc) 3. Does your dog get along well with other dogs? 4. What are some triggers for your dog? (i.e. other dogs, squirrels, children, food on the street, etc) 5. Are there any other behaviors to be aware of? 6.

A typical day
Dogs that stay with me should look forward to lots of love and fun! We will go on walks all around my neighborhood of Petworth and may even go to the Upshur Dog Park and/or Rock Creek Park depending on what your doggo likes! These are perfect outdoor spaces for dogs to get some exercise and explore! If your dog likes to run or retrieve balls or sticks, I will absolutely do these activities with them. I also would be happy to practice new tricks with them, to work on training, and to give them lots of special treats. I guarantee your dog will feel welcomed, have lots of fun, and be showered with love and attention at my home!

I work fully remotely, which allows me the flexibility to ensure that pets receive great care. Since I work at home, I am able to take them out on frequent walks on a regular basis, play with them throughout the day, and make sure to devote the time and attention to them that they deserve.
