My 12 year old mix-breed Orion and I walk at least 2 miles a day! Rain or shine I make sure we get out for some fresh air a minimum of twice a day.

About Dave M.

Safety, trust & environment
I always request very specific instructions for how you want your furry friend to be taken care of. I also always make sure my clients are comfortable with giving me access to their homes and will do what ever I can to reassure them that their home and their family member are in trustworthy hands!

Information Dave M. would like to know about your pet
I will always plan a face to face sit down with my clients before starting to work with them. This is when I ask about the pet's personality, any issues or concerns such as how they do around strangers or other dogs, etc. It is important to me that we all start on the same page so I can provide the best care possible.
A typical day
Since I typically have clients in the Sunset, I try to spend as much time in Golden Gate park as possible. Where we go and how challenging the journey I leave up to the dog and their owners. I also try to plan out some time both before and after the walk for us to hang out in their regular environment so we can play and get reacquainted. I'm also a wildlife photographer and LOVE taking pictures of peoples pets for them.

Pet care experience
I have been around dogs my entire life. From my childhood pets, to helping my Aunt who bred German Shepherds, to volunteering at rescues, to owning and operating my own dog walking business, I love spending time with our four legged friends! I have experience with dogs of all sizes and ages and take care of them accordingly. Each dog has their own personality and it is important to interact with them based on it! Whether timid or playful, young or old, I will make sure our time together is as much fun as possible. I am also Pet First AID & CPR certified so you can rest easy while you are away.
Reviews
Dave was great while watching Gracie. He kept her well exercised, communicated well, and she seemed to be a very happy and healthy pup when I picked her up at the end of my trip.
We're grateful for the amazing care gave our senior dog Stella, this weekend. She felt very comfortable and calm and it gave us a real peace of mind knowing she's in such good hands.
Dave is amazing! Our pup loves him, he’s communicative, and he takes great pics. We’ve had him walk our dog several times and just boarded with him for the first time. Our pup was having tummy troubles the whole time he stayed with Dave, and Dave was so sweet and patient with him — even though our pup had multiple accidents and needed to go out several times in the middle of the night. We are so grateful for Dave providing such great care for our pup, and we will definitely be booking with him again!!
Mazzy loves Dave! Great communication, punctuality, photos and comfortability with our occasionally dog-reactive pup. Highly recommend.
