Reliable! Active! Dog lover!
Pet care experience
I’m always up for an adventure and can’t wait to have more four-legged friends to bring along with me! I have owned and loved dogs for 25+ years. My first was a Black Lab named Albert I got when I was 10 years old, and I now own Max, a large Great Dane, and Tank, a Yellow Labrador. I have worked with all types of dogs, from little Pomeranians to Great Danes, from couch potatoes to very nervous and aggressive personalities. I am comfortable giving oral medications as well as injections. All dogs are welcome, but I especially enjoy large breeds! I love to do meet and greets so I’m able to get to know your pets with you present to make them as comfortable as possible. I can also bring homemade treats if your dog’s diet allows made with wholesome, natural ingredients. When we meet, I like to learn more about your dog’s personality, daily routine, and any other unique quirks. I’m a pilot by trade, so when I’m not traveling, I love to spend my free time being active and enjoying the outdoors with my dogs, hiking, camping, fishing, or snowboarding. I am excited to meet your pups and get to know the things that they enjoy. Getting them out to see the world puts smiles on their faces and on mine! Please think of me for your dog’s next adventure while you’re away.
Reviews
David is AWESOME with animals, especially with dogs. I have known him for a long time and he is so good at training, caring for and playing around with them. I would highly recommend him for pet care of any kind.
Dave has the best relationship with dogs, probably because of his communication. Out of everyone, he knows exactly how to connect with your dog. He displays patience and love. I have personally seen Dave's own dogs, they are very well behaved. I have had him pitch in, teaching me how to have a better dog. Teaching methods to help me with my own dog. Dave has a great personality. Tons of energy to go right along with your dog. And he truly does care for all dogs. I trust Dave.
Dave is a very responsible and dependable guy. He will take great care of your pets, and treat them as his own. He loves dogs of all kinds and loves to be outside, so walking your dogs is the perfect fit for him.
Dave has taken care of my dogs on numerous occasions and does a FANTASTIC job. He has an eye for detail and anticipates situations to keep my dogs safe, i.e., he crosses the street before its too late if he sees potential conflict or problems. He is extremely reliable and I feel comfortable with him taking my dogs and my dogs LOVE him!!!!!

Some things I like to learn ahead of time: -Are you available to schedule a meet-and-greet before the stay? -What’s your preferred method of communication? -Does your pup have any health issues that need to be tended to? For instance, dietary restrictions, medicine, or behavior triggers? -Do you have a vet nearby that you trust? -Does your pup like to stick to a given schedule, like regular walks in the morning and evening? -What is your pup’s energy level like? Active or relaxed?
A typical day
When your dog stays with me, I’ll be available to care for them all day long! We will go for walks around the area in the morning and evening, as well as have plenty of play time throughout the day. I’m happy to walk in your neighborhood if that’s where your pup is most comfortable. Or, with your permission, we will hop in my car and head to the local parks and trails for some exploring. I’m also happy to send you pictures and updates throughout the day so you can be a part of our adventures.
