Pet care experience

My wife and I have always owned dogs. We love playing and interacting with them. We have an oversized yard with a 6 foot fence that encloses 100% of the yard. In the summer, we fill up a kid sized pool if the dog wants to cool off. I am known in my neighborhood as the Dog Walker. We have many tree lined parks that offer a nice comfortable walk (even in the hot muggy Florida summers). Dogs are welcome to sleep on the bed if they choose. Your pet will get plenty of attention, fun, and affection. Recently, I had the honor to have been selected by DogVayCay to be interviewed by ABC News to talk about my experience being a dog watcher.

This is the 3rd or 4th time that I have left my pup with Dave. She seems so happy there. Dave and his wife are so sweet and great with my dog. She also loves all the time she gets in the yard. I have already asked Dave to dog sit two more times this summer!

Dave and his wife take really good care of Rocky. They send pictures of him daily. They watch other dogs at the same time that match his high energy level. He gets a lot of play time and cuddles with them. I never have to worry about him in their care.

This is the second time Zoe has stayed with Dave and his wife. She LOVES the time she is there and I feel so at ease knowing she is there when I am away. I get updates and photos and Dave and inside are so attentive and caring. Thanks so much.
