Dog Lover, Experienced and Ready!

Thank you for considering my home and services for your furry friend(s). As a life-long dog owner I have plenty of quality experience to ensure your dog has a safe, enjoyable time while you're away from home. Happy, safe, and content is my aim for your furry family member. Welcoming of all types of sizes, ages, and breeds. Having your best friend stay in my home environment will be a great choice and much better than a impersonal, large facility. There's a large fenced in backyard and great walking options outside of the front door. We also regularly take the dogs to a large fenced in property with a wonderful pond nearby — it’s pretty much doggy heaven! Anytime, day or night, you need to contact me I'll be available. Don't fret as your pet will be in great, caring, responsible hands while you're away from home!

Eno loves staying with David! He’s our go-to sitter when we are out of town. Eno gets lots of exercise, play time and pets. And we get great pictures and videos while we’re away. We can’t recommend David enough!

Fabulous experience! Our dig came home tired and very, very happy! Can't recommend highly enough.

My dog Baka loves David more than me. I love his flexibility and the good time Baka has when he’s with David and his family. He even has a pick up and drop off option which is helpful for my long hours. At this rate, my dog endures me until it’s time to go back to David’s fun house. He has a lot of space to explore and play. We’ve been booking over 4 years now so that’s uncle David to Baka.

Seemed like a nice person. My dog stayed 8 night but I only received 3 update texts and a few pictures. Not sure if I would recommend.

Our dog came back so happy and tired from her time with David! He was great about sharing photos. We will definitely use him again!

Safety, trust & environment

Safety of your pup is of utmost important to me. I have many years of experience keeping dogs safe in my care. My home is set up (and everything I do during the dog’s stay) with their safety in mind.

A typical day

As you can see from the many pictures on my profile here and from the hundreds of 5 star reviews, I am committed to your dog’s fun and enjoyment during their stay. They love to hang out and play in the backyard, go on walks around the neighborhood and in the state park nearby. We also often visit a large fenced in property with a big, wonderful pond for the pups to swim and play in if desired. Many dog owners have described their dogs staying with me as going to “Camp David”.

To ensure the best experience possible it is very helpful to let me know a few things: - Eating: When and how much do they eat? - Bathroom: How often do they need to go outside? Anything I should know about their bathroom habits? - Walking: How often are they accustomed to walking? Any known issues while walking? - Sleeping: Where do they usually sleep? Any particular sleeping habits we should know about? - At Home: What do you do with them when you leave the house (e.g. crate v. no crate) and how are they at home alone? - ETC.: Anything else I should know about best caring for your furry friend(s)? Any unique habits/behaviors, etc.? Please feel free to bring a bed(s), blankets, toys, treats, and anything else that will make them feel right at home! :) Also, please bring enough food for their stay along with their food and water bowls.
