I would prefer to be a dog walker or to come into other people’s homes to let dog out and play with dog. I am available after labor day.

Information David D. would like to know about your pet

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.

A typical day

Long walks and playing fetch with dogs and taking advantage of dog parks if near by. Ultimately walks are the main activity for dogs that I will use.

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

Dave is the best! He is so easy to work with. He treats my girl as if she was his own. Neighbors who have seen him with her sang his praises to me. She loves her walks with him. All I have to do is say his name and she gets excited. He is kind and trustworthy and has my highest recommendation. Our time has ended due to us moving out of the area which breaks my heart for my girl but whoever chooses Dave for their pets, you won’t find better!

Nala was excited to get back to her regular walks with David this month! David is always responsive and communicates changes well in advance. He was also very flexible when our family needed some changes in schedule this month. Thank you David!

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.
