You will know when you pull up to my home, as it is well kept. Your dog is welcome "More Dogs fewer people". I have a large yard so your dog will have plenty of room for playing, 4 video cameras recording 24/7, a completely fenced-in back and front yard in 3 separate sections or all in one, over a half acre competently lighted at night with 8 trees and a back porch with ceiling fan. The garage is 60 feet deep with a porta-cool, 4 large fans, and an air conditioner. The yard is thick well-kept Saint Augustine grass. I am also accredited in Doggie CPR through Holly and Hugo. Your dog is welcome on the furniture or on the bed. My dogs have always slept with me, snuggles provided. I love to play and talk to dogs and when they talk back, I listen. I have 1 black lab "Bobo" and he was born on November 17th, 2017. My dog is friendly, with training, and a good boy. I also have a small dog, Lucy Lu, who I adopted from one of my clients. She's a social butterfly. I love dogs and all dogs love me. Thank you for choosing Lucy, Bobo, and David the Dog Dad. I also have another property on the same street as my home that is an acre and a half that is my own private dog park that is completely fenced in with well water, electric plugs, chairs for picnics, and lit at night.

We are so incredibly grateful for David's amazing dog sitting services. Leaving our two dogs and going away for vacation is always hard, but David provides the ultimate peace of mind. The care he gives is truly five star. He sends regular updates photos and videos showing how much fun my dogs are having with him. He possesses a true genuine love for animals and it shines through in his dog sitting. David has been watching our dogs for few years, he's the best!

Dave the Dog Dad is the best I highly recommend him for your pets. I leave my boxer Deuce with him anytime I need a sitter. He is the absolute best and sends videos the whole time he has him.

Schedule

I'm semi retired, but I am usually up by 5:30am due to working all of those years. Then I usually go to bed around 7:30pm. So any time in between then, I am okay with drop off and pick up of your furbabies. I have many repeat clients and I don't overbook doggies.

Safety, trust & environment

I only care for doggies in my home environment. And it is a well kept home and not a kennel. I feed doggies separately, and I do require a meet and greet with each owner and doggie to verify shots and see if they are a good fit for the home.

Pets

A typical day

In the summertime, I have several large sprinklers with cool running well water. Many dogs love playing in the cool water running down a slippery slide on a hot summer day, or in the 20×60 insulated shop that is cooled and heated with a doggie day bed and TV. The furbabies and I love to watch doggies TV programs. We also love to BBQ, and your dog is always welcome to some (if allowed).

Everything you can tell me to make your Furbaby feel at home with their regular schedule. Wake up times, feeding times, potty times, bedtimes, or if your dog allowed to sleep on the bed or be on the furniture at your home. Your and your dog's likes & dislikes. Is your furbaby current vaccinated? All dogs under my care are currently vaccinated. Also, I require a meet and greet with dogs for all new clients to see if it is a good fit with David the Dog Dad and Bobo.
