Safety, trust & environment

I am very focused on getting jobs done, so my main goal will be helping your pet with what they need. I am respectful of animal boundaries and understand I will be a stranger in their home. I always appreciate when an owner informs me on the type of personality their pet has; that way I know what I’m going into and can deal with everything efficiently, no matter the situation!

Information Dave F. would like to know about your pet

I love when an owner is honest about their pet. It helps me know what to prepare when going into an animal’s territory. Please let me know about your pet’s needs and boundaries, and don’t be shy.

A typical day

I am willing to play with pets any way they need. I love to play with chaser toys with cats, and if your dog is up for a bit of roughhousing so am I! Tug of war, chase; anything is fun to me!

Pet care experience

UPDATE: I cannot offer round-the-clock care. I have two other jobs and pets of my own. Thanks for your understanding! I got my first dog when I was ten. I have been continuously learning techniques for training and care since then. I am quite okay with puppy and general dog training, and I adore each dog’s unique personality. I can administer medicine, provide walks, and give attention without issue.

100% give 10 stars. He was very communicative with me. This was the first time I’ve left my elderly dog with anyone besides family. My dog wasn’t lonely and was very well cared for.

Dave did a great job looking after my little poodle, Scruffy, and my home, and I look forward to him taking care of her for a much longer stay in August!
