I own a single family home with a large yard. My “main job” is in tech and I work from home nearly every day. I’m minutes away from a large park as well. The pets (and people) under my care receive a lot of loving attention in a safe, higher end neighborhood.

Safety, trust & environment

I have a fenced yard backing up to a very serene, wooded/natural setting with tons of trees. If needed, my home has specific crates/cages and multiple rooms, depending on what the circumstances require. However, usually most pets are allowed to roam freely throughout most of the house and yard, as long as they do not conflict with or disrupt others.

Information Dave B. would like to know about your pet

I do not accept dogs younger than a year old. New clients/new pets may be asked to perform a brief "play interview" to ensure compatability. I ask that all pet owners provide Emergency Contact Information and local Vet information. All pets must be current on their rabies shot(s), or other applicable vaccinations.

A typical day

A typical day is time spent in a mixture of indoor and outdoor environments. It could include a mixture of time spent walking/running/playing outside, playing ball or tug-of-war, just hanging out and chilling out, and so forth.

Dave did a great job watching my dog, Trixie. He has a large, fenced-in back yard where she was able to run around and enjoy herself. She really got along well with Dave's dog, Mocha. He sent me videos and pictures on a regular basis. I will definitely have him watch her again in the future!

I was going on vacation and needed a dog sitter for my dog. Dave was the man for the job and took great care of my dog . He even provided optional services which saved me time to take my dog to get groomed/ nail clipped. I still use Dave as my dog sitter .

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.
