Highlights
Pet care experience
Your Sunset Walker & Photographer!
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.
Qualifications
Ratings and reviews
Dave was great! We loved the humor in the updates, and it seemed like even our shy cat warmed up to him quickly. The house was in perfect condition and both cats were healthy and happy when we returned. Would definitely recommend him for pet sitting!
Dave is great! He’s so responsive and genuinely cares for Cleo. I’m never stressed when I know Dave is going to check in on Cleo while I’m racing all day on the bay. Thanks Dave!
Dave was so responsive and very helpful in a last minute pinch. Thank you Dave for being so great!
Dave was a pleasure to work with. He was very prompt, sent updates and a picture, and Tucker was sufficiently tuckered out when I returned home. Would definitely work with him again.
Our pup loves Dave!
Dave is the best! Another great stay.

Schedule
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.
Where your pet will stay
Home characteristics
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!
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.
