Free Consultation / Pet Meeting

Pet care experience

I've been a dog owner and home trainer for over 40 years. I also have experience showing and breeding AKC registered dogs. I am equally comfortable with large and small dogs. In the last 40 years I have never been without a dog in my home and typically own 2-3 dogs at a time. I am patient and willing to give a dog time to become comfortable with me. I have owned and showed and bred AKC registered dogs, but also have owned rescued animals for the last 15+ years. I have brought rescued dogs into my own family and helped dogs with special behavior and emotional needs acclimate to their new home. I am no longer working full time and have the energy and time to commit to your beloved pet.

David did a wonderful job with our dog while we were away visiting a relative in Florida. He offered us a complimentary "meet n' greet" prior to us committing to his service. He was prompt for scheduled visits and sent pictures of each visit so we knew he was there and caring for our dog. We will use David in the future and recommend him to anyone looking or quality care for their pets.

David did an amazing job watching our dogs while we were gone. He always kept us updated on how the dogs we're doing, and took the time to make sure our dogs were happy. I would highly recommend him to anyone who is looking for an affordable, caring, and dependable dog sitter.

Dave is a really sweet person who's always available to help anyone at any moment. The same kind of love and consideration is given (by him) to dogs. Since I can remember, Dave has always had dogs at home and he has always taken great care of them. I remember him every morning checking up on his pets, feeding them, petting them, taking them outside, even before having any breakfast himself. I'm positive that if any of his dogs could write, they would gladly write a beautiful post about their owner. However, I can assure you that the dogs' happiness every day is proof enough that David is a responsible and loving dog caregiver.
