Love the outdoors and dogs
Pet care experience
You leave them I'll love them ,I've been with different breeds of dogs for over 40 years . From pups till the end of their days, I used to be in the restaurant business for many years have traveled all over . Recently with my Fathers condition, I have to take care of him and his dog . I'm home all day besides walking the dog and going to the store ,I'm available almost all day for short periods at a time one to two hours at a time, if I need longer my sister lives one minute away . I'm a certified dog trainer and also in dog first aid , I do this part time but I love walking different breeds and enjoy the outdoors wind rain snow or shine!
Reviews
When we rescued Dunkin Dave came over and helped train him for two weeks straight. He did a great job, teaching Dunkin all the commands. When Dunkin wasn't feeling well Dave came over at a moments notice. And when my Dad was dying of cancer, I had 15 hr days. that went on for months. I could count on Dave to be here for Dunkin. I don't know how I would have survived those dark times without Dave. Dave loves dogs and has a wide Knowledge of their needs.
I would highly recommend Dave. He has a true love for dogs and has helped me out with my dog Jack several times. He is responsible and also a certified dog trainer.
Dave has been taking care of my Greater Swiss Mountain Dog named Ronan for over 5+ years now. Dave is reliable, caring, and great trainer. Dave spends a lot more time with Ronan; for example, he brushes him and will take him on additional walks if needed, house sits, and never has missed an appointment. As a person who travels a lot - I know I can leave my pooch in good hands and to me that is priceless.
I have entrusted all my dogs to Dave. He is so kind to the dogs and they automatically respect him.I currently have a rescue, Kyler which is a border collie mix. Dave is able to handle her high energy and knows just what her needs are. Initially Kyler was a bit of a handful because of what she went thru but Dave was able to remedy any problem behavior, I would definitly refer him!

Information Dave S. would like to know about your pet
I have no preference's on breeds , I need to know the dog's energy level and any medical problems allergy's etc.,
A typical day
If I stay with a dog I like to stay busy playing different games , hide and seek find different toys ,catch basic commands to keep the dog s attention and make time go by for human and dog. Going on walks I like to use different routes , walk on the bike path so the dog gets socialized all over the neighborhood.
