Pet care fits easily into my routine. I work remotely with a flexible schedule, so I’m able to plan my day around walks, drop-ins, and check-ins. I’m typically up early and active throughout the day, which makes it easy to provide reliable morning and evening care.

Safety, trust & environment

I focus on keeping pets comfortable by maintaining their normal routine as closely as possible. In a client’s home, I follow the owner’s instructions for feeding, walks, playtime, and any medications, while making sure pets get plenty of attention and care. I also keep owners updated with messages and photos so they know their pet is doing well.

Information David D. would like to know about your pet

It’s helpful to know their typical routine, energy level, and any special needs ahead of time. I also like to understand things like feeding schedules, medications, behavioral quirks, and how they interact with other dogs or people so I can make sure they feel safe and comfortable.

A typical day

Walks, playtime, and lots of attention. Depending on the pet, that could mean neighborhood walks, playing fetch, tug-of-war, or just spending time keeping them company. I try to match each pet’s energy level so they stay active, happy, and comfortable.

Pet care experience

I’m reliable, attentive, and focused on making pets feel comfortable by sticking closely to their normal routines. I’m very communicative with owners and always provide updates and photos. I’m also patient with different personalities—whether that’s energetic dogs that need activity or more relaxed pets that just want calm companionship.

5 stars! David was stellar. This was first time using both the Rover app and a dog walker. My dog(who is normally energetic)was nervous and apprehensive being walked by someone other than me, and David did an amazing job being both patient and encouraging during their first walk. For the next five days while I was gone David, arrived on time and was communicative every day. I plan to continue to use his services and highly recommend others do as well.

David has watched my dog for the last 5 years. Stella loves him and gets so excited when he comes to the house or she gets dropped off. He is reliable, consistently texts updates and has done many over night stays with her.

Each sitter joining Rover needs to pass a background check. And by booking on Rover, you can get photo & message updates, 24/7 support, and reimbursement for eligible vet care.
