Information Dave C. would like to know about your pet

Just let me know whatever it is that your pet needs (medications, favourite activities, quirky preferences). I can make it happen! Don’t be afraid to ask! Have a great day!

A typical day

My wife and I can care for your dog however you’d like. We have a large, fenced backyard in a quiet old neighbourhood next to the Trans Canada Trail. If your dog has a routine, I can stick to the usual. If they love to just explore, we can take the scenic route! Our little Havanese, Molly and Maggie, would love to meet them and might even be willing to share their toys!

Pet care experience

🚨Save $20! Promo code DAVEC75632🚨 My little Molly is a therapy dog for St. John Ambulance. But I know that all dogs are actually therapy dogs; most of them just freelance! If your dog is in need of some love and attention—or even just a quiet walk—I would be honoured to care for them. I’ve always been the one to take care of my friends’ and coworkers’ pets. It just makes sense to use my love of animals to help out people in my community who are stuck at work or away for the day. Your pets might be sad that you’re not available, but I guarantee that they’ll be happy and calm when you are reunited. I am trained in pet first aid by St. John Ambulance. Feel free to message me and ask any questions or requests you might have.

After 7 years of trusted dog walking, Dave continues to look after my dogs when I can't be home. I won't trust anyone else now!

This is the first time I used Rover and chose Dave for visits for our cat. Very pleased with how Dave took care of Mimi. He went over and beyond. Kept us informed and photos of her. Thank you Dave for taking care of Mimi. We will definitely reach out to you next time

Dave has been great with our dogs! They warmed up to him immediately at the meet and greet. We always get great pics and a summary of their time together. He’s great with communication and will always respond quickly. We definitely trust him with our pups.

Dave is the best at taking care of our cats. He is trustworthy, very responsible, and handles everything with care. Our cats were happy and well looked after, and we felt completely at ease knowing they were in excellent hands. Highly recommended!

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.
