Dan Taylor

61 , Animal Lover & Semi-Retired Senior Executive

I'm an animal lover who has owned dogs and cats as well as fish, turtles and backyard chickens. I've also enjoyed snakes as a kid. As a semi-retired senior executive with extensive experience and a history of homeownership, I am currently seeking short-term accommodations in Toronto. My background includes managing and maintaining properties, ensuring they remain in excellent condition. I have a deep appreciation for animals, having lovingly owned two dogs ( Irish Setter and Chocolate Lab) and 2 cats, which speaks to my responsible and caring nature.

During my semi-retirement, I have the flexibility and time to contribute positively to your household. I am more than willing to take on tasks such as watering plants, cutting grass, taking out the trash, and collecting mail, ensuring your property remains well-maintained in your absence. My attention to detail and commitment to excellence extend to every task I undertake, guaranteeing that your home will be cared for as if it were my own.

My professional career has equipped me with strong organizational and problem-solving skills, allowing me to handle any unexpected issues that may arise efficiently. As a trustworthy and dependable individual, you can have peace of mind knowing that your home is in capable hands.

I am enthusiastic about the opportunity to contribute to the upkeep of your property while enjoying places to sty with in South West, Central, Near North and Eastern Ontario - Montreal & Quebec City. My love for animals means I am more than happy to care for any pets you may have, ensuring they receive the attention and care they deserve.

In summary, as a seasoned professional and responsible individual, I am confident that I would be an excellent candidate for short-term accommodations in Toronto. My willingness to perform household tasks and my dedication to maintaining a clean and orderly environment make me an ideal choice for anyone seeking a reliable and caring temporary resident.

Here are 2 references ... You good with this? I've known Dan for about a year, and he's really good with my male cat, Grey. I've left Grey with Dan a few times, and everything went smoothly. Grey, who usually sticks close to me, has been quite comfortable around Dan, which says a lot about how great he is with pets.
Dan is also pretty tidy around the house. He takes care of the garbage and recycling and makes sure the dishes are clean. It's always nice to come back to a neat home.
I wouldn't hesitate to recommend Dan as a cat sitter and house sitter to anyone. He's reliable and easygoing, making him a great choice.

Dan has spent some time with Yoko while my boyfriend and I were around. It’s clear that Dan loves animals, especially dogs. Yoko, is a 95-pound female American Bully Rottweiler, she really liked Dan and picked up on his dog-loving energy. I've left Yoko under Dan’s care on several occasions, and he has always been responsible and taken good care of her, making sure to feed her, walk her, and attend to her needs.

While staying at my place, Dan has always been respectful, clean, neat, and tidy. He took care of the place, including keeping the place in order. I would recommend Dan to anyone who needs a pet or house sitter that is both animal-loving and responsible.

SHARON ( Ontario, Oct 2024 - 4 weeks)
Dan was very obliging, coming to our home from out of town prior to our travels so he could meet our cat and get familiar with the quirks of our older home. While away he let us know of some mail that needed attention, and a small problem with an appliance and sent a photo of a contented cat. On our return as scheduled in early afternoon the cat and the plants seemed. happy, but the cleaning was a work in progress. The bed linens were on the line to dry but the kitchen and some areas needed ... MORE

Dan was a pleasure to meet and to host in our home. Dan has excellent communication skills and was diligent in all home and pet care we asked of him. He sent updates and pics and left our home clean and tidy. He even jumped on a call with us to troubleshoot something that wasn’t working properly. We look forward to having Dan back in the future and would recommend him without hesitation!

Dan and I met for dinner before thee cat sit to get to know each other. I left Finnigan in good hands. He set some pics and videos to confirm all was well. All was as I left it when I returned. Thanks, Dan
