I work from home and care for trees in Upper Arlington. I am currently managing my father's estate as the executor which means I have a lot of patience! I spend most of my time admiring my indoor plants, watching my wild birds, identifying insect and tree species, writing, cooking, coding and reading the Bible. I'm currently studying to become a Certified Arborist. I feed my dog fresh healthy food that I make and wash the bowls after every meal. I generally avoid people giving out treats to my dog, children and dog parks to keep things safe and consistent. I care for the barn cats when I'm on the farm and wild birds wherever I live. I've never met an animal or plant or insect that I don't adore or at least find interesting! This is who I am.

Safety, trust & environment
First and foremost I read through all instructions you provide for your pup and make a notecard listing out all details. I reference my notes often to ensure I'm aligned. If staying in my home, your pup will appreciate the same treatment I give my own pup, loads of love, walks and attention. If you have a crate for your pup or kitty, please bring it along in case I need to run out to the market or church.

Information David A. would like to know about your pet
Please be as detailed and specific as you like! I'm happy to follow all your special instructions for your special pup. Be sure to note any specific food allergies, leave your vet info just in case, and any play activities.
A typical day
My primary concern is their safety. So on walks I'll be monitoring where they step and what's coming up. We spend time together, giving lots of pets and having a conversation about their day. I'll text you pics!l but also respect your boundaries if you choose less contact. I get it!

Pet care experience
I grew up in a family of large dogs near Northam Park in UA. I have owned two French Bulldogs from pup through their lifetime. I love senior dogs and those with special needs and happy to attend to their every special circumstances. I am a fan of snuggly kitty cats! We love to walk in our safe neighborhood. Personally I'm very healthy and fit and happy to exercise with your dog if that's their thing or just take it easy and enjoy the joy of being outside together or chilling on the couch and reading a book. I've read Cesar Milan's book on dog psychology and have implemented his method of primal walks and pack leadership with my pack. Most importantly, I'll follow closely your instructions. I make my own fresh pet food and developing my own calcium supplements which is one of those essentials for a fresh food diet. 👨🏼🍳💛🫶

Reviews
Neela enjoyed her time with David and Stella! He was really in tune with her needs and her quirks (like hiding) and kept us updated. Thanks again for taking good care of her!
David A. is simply outstanding! He took such fantastic care of my senior dog, Moth, during my first trip away from home in years. David is a loving, responsible, and experienced dog owner, so I had no reservations about him caring for my dog during my absence. During my vacation, David sent regular updates and photos and took Moth on many walks (far more than I do! lol). My little guy was so happy, and I felt no stress or worry. David is the best. If you want to feel 100% secure that your fur baby will get the best treatment, book David!
Wow David! Outside of being an amazing human, he is an amazing dog owner/lover! From the moment we met, it was clear he genuinely loved animals. His communication is top-notch, providing regular updates and photos! Not only does he follow instructions, but he also goes above and beyond, giving pups extra cuddles and playtime. You will returned to a happy and well-exercised dog. You will be extremely happy with the experience. I highly recommend David for anyone seeking a reliable and caring sitter!
