Safety, trust & environment

I currently have 0 other dogs in my house just 3 cats. I have a fenced garden and access to multiple green spaces nearby but also county walks a short drive away. I have iso fix points for dog safety in my car.

Information David C. would like to know about your pet

If your dog has any behavioural needs such as requires yellow leash for does not mix with others would require strict instructions as there are different routes around me for socialising and not socialising dogs.

A typical day

I start every morning personally at around 5 and will normally go to exercise around 530-6. This is obviously adjusted depending on pets existing routine. I work from home 3-4/5 days a week and log on by 8 and off by 6 I then spend my evening with my partner going on a walk or cooking together and then reading or painting. I have 3 crazy Ragdoll cats that give me the run around but given that we had just moved into our new home and are planning a wedding have decided to wait to get another dog until post honey moon

Pet care experience

I have raised and taken care of multiple dogs including German Shepherds, Leonbergers, St Bernards, Rotweilers and Labradors. I have had dogs since I was a child. My most recent dog who sadly passed recently was Atticus a beautiful Leonberger boy. I have experience with recall training, obedience and desensitising.

David was absolutely fantastic with Chicken! From the moment they met, it was clear that he has a natural gift with dogs. Chicken can sometimes take a little time to warm up to new people, but David immediately put him at ease with his calm, patient, and friendly approach. It was incredibly reassuring to see how comfortable and relaxed Chicken was in his care. David went above and beyond what you’d expect from a dog walker. He was attentive, reliable, and genuinely invested in making sure Chicken had a wonderful experience. It’s obvious that he truly understands dogs—their personalities, their needs, and how to build trust with them. When Chicken came back, he was happy, content, and clearly had a great time. What really stood out was David’s ability to make both dog and owner feel completely confident and comfortable. Knowing that Chicken was in such capable and caring hands gave me total peace of mind. It’s rare to find someone who combines professionalism, kindness, and such a genuine love for animals so effortlessly. I couldn’t recommend David more highly. If you’re looking for someone who will treat your dog like their own, make them feel safe and loved, and provide exceptional care every step of the way, David is simply outstanding.

I was very pleased with the service David provided, you can tell that he really cares about animals and had a wealth of knowledge. Waffles seemed very happy upon meeting him as he can sometimes distrustful of strangers. David also sent a few pictures whilst he took him out for a walk which was over and above what i had initially required of him as he mentioned Waffles seemed like he needed a bathroom break. Would 100% recommend him to anyone who needs a sitter or walker in the local area.

David was very well prepared and completely comfortable looking after our St Bernard Arthur. He kept us up to date on how Arthur and our 2 cats were getting on. Arthur takes daily meds which were all taken care of. I would happily reccomend David for any future requirements. 100% happy with the service.
