Pet care experience

Lifelong Dog Lover

Have owned three dogs over my lifetime, but not in the past 10 years. Always love being around dogs and have always been able to easily put dogs at ease. I continue to be asked by friends and family to watch their dogs when they go away.

David does a great job walking Brownie and Nala together. He always takes the weather into consideration and makes adjustments as needed. We appreciate that he always look out for the best interests of the dogs. Thanks, David!

David is just the best--reliable, caring, kind, and a strong and confident leader with our sometimes-feisty med/lg dog!

I have not had much experience with dogs that have special needs, but I can easily adapt activities that the owner specifies to me to be used with their dog.
