Dog lovers who will care 4 ur baby

We are a husband & wife dog lover duo, with a 10lb maltipoo furbaby, Chance, who are specialized in taking care of small dogs - ensuring they feel loved, comfortable and entertained while you’re away. From scenic and sensorial walks & fetch sessions by the West Side Highway to cozy cuddle sessions at home, we provide a balanced environment for your dog to feel at home. Our experience includes taking care of small breeds with various temperaments, so we’re confident we can handle your pup’s specific needs! Our dog, Chance, is an 10lb maltipoo who loves other small dogs. We’ve taught him various tricks like sit, stay, paw, and ‘bang bang’, and we love sharing that knowledge with other dogs. We adapt our care to each dog’s personality, ensuring they get the right balance of mental stimulation and relaxation. Whether it’s playtime, puzzle games, or cuddles, your dog will feel right at home!

Danny and Karen were so wonderful with my cat Millie, especially after we had an emergency scare. They double checked on her throughout the day which was an unexpected need! We really appreciated their flexibility, prioritizing her, and reassuring us during the check ins. They really went above and beyond! Thank you so much!

Karen and Danny were the best cat sitters for my Dumpling! They sent me daily photos, videos, and updates and were so communicative! I cannot thank them enough for watching Dumpling over the holidays, when it is usually so difficult to find someone in the city! I will absolutely be using them again in the future. Thanks again, Karen and Danny!!!

Danny and Karen were so amazing taking care of my cat, Millie. They were very communicative and effective each visit. I appreciated how they asked about Millie’s personality and how best to interact with her. They were extremely helpful and caring towards Millie, making sure she had everything she needed. I’m looking forward to the next time we need a pet sitter 😊

Schedule

Our daily routine is pretty relaxed, which allows us to dedicate time to caring for dogs. Danny's work schedule is hybrid and Karen is fully remote! We walk Chance in the morning and evening for 30 minutes. The afternoon walks are 30–90 minutes along the water on the West Side Highway. We can adjust the walk length based on your dog’s needs, whether it's a quick stroll or a longer adventure!

Where your pet will stay

Home characteristics

Lives in an apartment
Does not have a yard
Non-smoking household
Has 1 dog
No children present
Dogs not allowed on bed
Dogs allowed on furniture
Potty breaks every 4-8 hours

Safety, trust & environment

We live in a 600 square foot 1-bedroom apartment where your dog will feel right at home. Your pup can sleep with us in the same room or right outside, depending on the pup's preference. We can also set up a pee station if needed, though you’d just need to bring it as Chance is fully potty trained to go outside.

Pets

A typical day

We love stimulating walks, puzzles (toy ones and we also have ones that we create using things like towels), playing fetch, cuddling, tricks, tug, and pretending there is something moving under the blanket (our hand) while dogs go for it - for some reason all dogs love it!

0 to 15 lbs
Dogs over 1 year old
Spayed and neutered dogs only
No females in heat
Crate-trained dogs only
Danny & Karen can host up to 2 pets per night
Please let us know if there are any special needs or behaviors of your dog we need to account for (potty trained, medications, separation anxiety, resource guarding, etc) - we also maintain a no shoes household, so we would wipe your dog's paws after every walk.
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.
