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. 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!

David was the best dog sitter for Charlie!! He was a great communicator and sent an update with pictures every evening about their daily adventures. Would absolutely recommend David and plan to use him to sit Charlie again soon!

David is awesome with Phantom, who loves to go for walks with him. He is reliable and has been able to handle last minute requests. We truly appreciate the fact that he’s here to help us care for our dog!

We’ve had a great experience with David! Highly recommend. He’s communicative and our large puppy seems to enjoy their walks.
