Certified Trainer: Walk/Play/Love

Pet care experience

Hello, Rover community! My name is Dave and I spend every day with dogs of all shapes, sizes, and personalities. I am a pet trainer and caretaker. I have been professionally training dogs for over a year and caring for dogs for longer. I have a fun and caring demeanor. I love to help dogs feel comfortable and relaxed, enhanced by my ability to assess pet behavior. My clients feel that I am genuine, trustworthy and that my positive attitude transmits to their pets. As a pet parent myself, I understand how important it is to have someone care for your pets like their own. I guarantee top quality care for your furry family. Please connect with me to bring a reliable and compassionate pet caregiver into your pet's life.

We met Dave through the Pet Smart dog training program (he was our class trainer) and our dog Daisy adores him. We were lucky to have Dave watch our dog and cat over week of July 4th. He is very easy to work with came over before our trip to get the run down on our house. He is caring and affectionate with our animals, and sent photos and updates during his stay. It was such a relief knowing that our pets and house were being so well looked after while we were away.

Dave is amazing! Our dog absolutely loves him. He cares a lot about all animals and is very enthusiastic about your pet. I would highly recommend him to anyone I know and am sure you will be satisfied with the love, care and attention your pet will receive.

Dave has an incredible energy that transcends species. He is patient, kind, and a gifted caregiver. Dave has a love for dogs. He gets excited every time he sees one and always treats them with respect and compassion. He is incredibly responsible, reliable, and personable. You won’t regret working with Dave Messer! :)

Information Dave M. would like to know about your pet

The most important thing I will need to know before caring for your pet is whether they need any medication, have any allergies, or require special care. After that, it is always good to know if a pet can be around children, other pets, or other people. This will influence my activities with them. It is also important for me to know if there are concerns a parent has about their pet. I want not only make the pet to feel comfortable and safe but for their parent(s) to feel safe too. Every pet deserves loving care.

A typical day

I adore throwing the ball with my dog and have lots of fun types of tossing toys. I like to give dogs new experiences and will be happy to walk dogs along the beautiful walking paths in Merced, bring them to the dog park, or go for a little jog. I am flexible and can work with both pets and their parents to find activities best suited to their needs. For an extra fee, I can even offer some brief training lessons for your pet.
