Information David C. would like to know about your pet

General temperament, sociability with other animals/people, and age/energy levels are all good info to have. Also a heads up if you have any ideas on activities your animal might enjoy!

A typical day

I love taking dogs to the beach or hiking/traipsing around walking trails. I’m also open to plain Jane walks, or to parks where we can play fetch and run around.

What’s updog?

Pet care experience

I’ve spent my whole life living with and caring for dogs as well as their fine feline counterparts. From a young age my parents made sure I took on the responsibility of pet ownership (feeding, walking, cleaning up after pets). More recently our family had a lab/terrier mix who we sadly had to have put down. I have experience caring for puppies and kittens, but honestly that’s more playing with them and exhausting their energy reserves more than anything else. We only take one booking per household (multiple pets from the same household are also welcome!), and I work from home, so you can rest assured your furry friend will get our fullest attention! If you have a dog or cat of any age you would like to get their energy out with, or need a hiking/beach buddy for I’m your guy! ***Due to having small children in my home I require a short meet and greet before confirming booking just to ensure your pet is a good fit for our family, and we’re a good fit for them as well!***

I boarded my dog Maggie at David's place for about a week. Maggie seemed to enjoy her time there and loved being around his family. David provided daily updates during the stay. I would definitely recommend David as a sitter and I would book again.

David was attentive and professional in his time caring for Mowgli. He communicated with me by txt and sent pictures.
