Paw-Perfect Care: Walker and Sitter

Pet care experience

Over the years, my passion for dogs has grown into a deep understanding and commitment to their well-being. From raising two beloved childhood dogs from playful pups to wise seniors, I've cherished every moment of our journey together. Currently, I'm dedicated to the care of Benzi, a small and loving Papillon/Dachshund mix. Whether it's daily walks, vigorous play sessions, or simply providing a cozy spot for them to curl up, I prioritize their physical and emotional needs. My experience has taught me patience, compassion, and the incredible bond that forms between humans and their canine companions. At 13 years young, Benzi is not just a pet but a beloved member of our family, adored by both my partner and me. Our days are filled with laughter and adventure as we explore the neighborhood, visit friends at the dog park, and embark on weekend hikes that leave Benzi's tail wagging with joy! Just like with my dear Benzi, your furry friend will be embraced with love, attention, and fun under my care. From morning cuddles to evening snuggles, every moment is cherished and every paw print is treasured. Whether it's romping in the sunshine, enjoying cozy couch cuddles, or savoring delicious treats (tail-wagging gourmet, of course!), your doggo will receive the royal treatment. So, whether your fur baby is in need of a midday stroll, a weekend adventure, or a cozy night in, rest assured they'll be in paws-itively good hands with me. Let's make tails wag and memories last fur-ever together! 🐶💖

Hi Rover, David would undoubtedly provide safe, loving care, and exceptional customer service for your pets. Having him to care for my two beloved pets, a senior pit bull mix and a Shih Tzu-Terrier mix, on multiple occasions, I can attest to his reliability and dedication. Recently, during a four-day span while I was out of town, David looked after them with utmost care. The instant affection my dogs showed towards him, after just a few quick sniffs, speaks volumes about his gentle and caring nature. David goes above and beyond by ensuring they receive their medication promptly, engaging them in stimulating play sessions, and maintaining their routines to keep them comfortable and happy. His genuine love for animals and his unwavering commitment to their well-being make him an outstanding caregiver. Anthony

I cannot recommend David enough as a dog walker! As a close friend, I've had the pleasure of entrusting him with the care of my energetic pup, Loki, on multiple occasions when I've been out of town. Loki, being a high-energy dog, requires plenty of exercise and attention. David took Loki for long walks multiple times a day, ensuring that he received the physical activity and mental stimulation he needed to stay happy. He is always giving him love and lots of belly scratches. Beyond his exceptional dog-walking skills and care, David is just an all-around great guy. His friendly and caring nature shines through in everything he does, and it's clear that he genuinely loves animals. He's reliable, trustworthy, and goes above and beyond to ensure the well-being of the pets in his care. If you're looking for a dog walker who will treat your furry friend like family, look no further than David. I have complete confidence in his abilities and would recommend him to anyone without hesitation.

A typical day

When it comes to fun activities for the pets I care for, the possibilities are endless! From energetic games of fetch in the backyard to leisurely strolls through the neighborhood, I tailor each activity to suit the personality and preferences of the individual pet. For those who love a mental challenge, I might engage them in puzzle toys or teach them new tricks. Indoor playtime can include hide-and-seek or tug-of-war sessions, while outdoor adventures might involve exploring new trails or visiting dog-friendly parks. And of course, plenty of cuddle time and belly rubs are always on the agenda. Whatever the activity, my goal is to ensure that each pet is happy, stimulated, and loved during our time together.
