David was a great sitter at my house for my shepherd-mix, Frank. David was very communicative while I was traveling and sent me pics of my happy dog. He followed all the care and feeding instructions and cared for my house, too. I’d definitely call David again next time.

David has been great with our dogs, especially our lab who is very energetic. He takes the time to make sure that there are proper greetings with Mochi as she can be overstimulated by visitors

David is easygoing and helpful. He cared for our rescue pup who developed a double ear infection and needed some extra attention and medication. David handled it all and left our house clean. We give two paws up!

David was very responsive to my text messages and responded right away. He was very helpful and notified me with other issues due to the storm. Came home to two very happy dogs. Thank you.

I would care for your animal(s) as if they were my own. An hour of exercise a day with lots of love, pets and praise! If I see another dog on a walk I give lots of space or simply turn around or cross the street. I understand that not all dogs want to say "hello" and I am willing to work with your dog on obedience and commands! 🐾

Information David D. would like to know about your pet

Good things to know beforehand: ●Your dogs activity level/average length of exercise he or she needs ●How he/she behaves on leash ●If he/she is reactive to other animals, objects, or people ●Their favorite treats (if they are food driven) ●Their favorite game/ball

A typical day

Hiking and fun new smells and places! Fetch, tug o war, Frisbee, whatever your furry friend loves to do we'll do it! The beach, the mountains, the world is their oyster! ?
