Will Provide Full-Time Love!!

Pet care experience

Hi everyone! I'm a Marist College senior that has a lot of weekend availability- allowing me to take your dog all over Poughkeepsie and the surrounding areas of Rhinebeck, Hyde Park, Beacon, and New Paltz! I live only a couple minutes from the Marist Campus and am just one street away from the Poughkeepsie Walkway Over the Hudson, and would love sending you photos from our scenic walks. If you have a growing pup that needs more exercise, I'm only a short car ride from the Hiking Trails behind FDR's house in Hyde Park! Throughout your dog's entire stay, I will keep you updated with photos of all the places we have been, text you about how well your dog has been eating and sleeping, and will keep a log of dates/times that I administer medication, in the event that your dog has specific medical needs. I have been caring for dogs for 15+ years. I grew up loving my family's Maltese Poodle and continue to look after my aunt's Bernedoodle and Goldendoodle in Watch Hill, RI while they go on vacation and to events/weddings/etc. I have cared for my girlfriend's Teacup Yorkie on a few occasions, and have watched other friends' dogs for extended nights and weekends. I am willing to pick up/drop off at your home if more convenient, and will take extremely good care of your dog, ensuring that he/she is happy, healthy, and safe! If you have two dogs, I would be interested in talking about how I can best accommodate. Dave

We just adopted a 10 year old special needs dog in July. He has a permanently broken jaw, missing teeth, heart murmur, thyroid condition, and allergies. We had never left him with anyone. We were VERY nervous. Dave asked all the right questions and told us exactly what to expect. He met us near our hotel (which does not allow dogs) and dropped him off exactly on time. We got photos of Little Man every couple of hours, and updates regarding his eating and medication administration. I just wish we lived closer so Little Man could go on play dates with Dave and his college friends. I hope I can post some of the photos he sent. They are hilarious. Dave only took our dog, which is comforting due to the fact Little Man is only 10 pounds. Anyone who lets their dog with Dave will be totally happy. After just a day we kinda consider Dave family. He should get 10 stars!

Dave is absolutely wonderful! He goes out of his way to make sure your dog is well taken care of. He has watched my little four pound Yorkie for both one-day and weekend stays and my dog never wants to come home after spending time with Dave! Throughout the entire stay, Dave updates me with pictures and texts, ensuring me that my dog is happy and healthy. He has even driven to meet me to pick up my dog. Dave will make your dog feel extremely loved and safe. He makes sure to maintain your dog’s exercise routine and any medical needs your dog may have. Thank you Dave for taking such good care of my dog and making me feel comfortable leaving him with you! I highly recommend using Dave as a dog sitter!

Dave is not only caring towards dogs, but he goes above and beyond to make sure your pet is comfortable in his home. No matter what your pet may require, he is willing to go the extra mile to make your pet feel at home as well as continue their normal routine. Your dog will receive an abundance of love by Dave and feel very safe. Whether it is a specific food or exercise regimen, certain medical needs, or simply just preferences your pet has, Dave will pay close attention and definitely will not ignore them. I highly recommend using Dave as a dog sitter.

Dave is more than wonderful! What a gentle person, great personality and he was the best sitter my Fur Baby ever had. He goes out of his way to make sure you are happy with his care taking, Would definitely recommend him. A true animal lover, well liked by my Fur Baby, was in touch with me with pictures, messages and any questions. Thanks Dave!
