I work remotely, so caring for dogs fits very naturally into my day. Since I’m home most of the time, your dog won’t be left alone for long stretches and will get regular attention, supervision, walks, and companionship throughout the day. I'm available most days – even holidays! Just let me know what dates you're interested in booking and I'll do my best to accommodate your pup into my schedule.

Safety, trust & environment

I keep my home clean, calm, and safe so dogs can settle in and feel comfortable while they’re here. I know every dog has their own routine, so I follow your instructions closely, including meals, walks, crate time, medications, exercise needs, and any special care requirements. I’m comfortable with crate training when needed, and I always make safety the priority, both at home and on walks. I’ll also send regular updates so you can relax and know your dog is happy, cared for, and doing well.

Information David D. would like to know about your pet

Please let me know your dog’s usual routine, personality, energy level, and anything that helps them feel comfortable. It’s also helpful to know their feeding schedule, sleeping setup, and any favorite activities or commands they already know. I’m comfortable with a wide range of dogs, including larger and high-energy breeds. My goal is simply to make sure your dog feels safe, relaxed, and cared for while they’re with me.

A typical day

A typical day is built around your dog’s normal routine, personality, and energy level. We’ll usually start with a morning walk or some playtime, followed by breakfast and time to relax while I work my normal day job. Throughout the day, I’ll make sure your dog gets a good mix of attention, walks, play, and mental stimulation, whether that means practicing basic commands, playing outside, or just spending time together. Since I work remotely, your dog won’t be left alone for long stretches and will have steady companionship throughout the day. Evenings are usually calmer, with another walk, dinner, and some relaxed wind-down time so your dog can feel comfortable, settled, and at home.

Treat Your Dog Like Family

Pet care experience

Dogs have always felt like family to me. I grew up with them, caring for, training, and learning that dogs need more than just supervision. They need patience, structure, and a home where they feel safe. Since I work from home, I’m around most of the day to give your dog steady walks, companionship, and attention. Whether your dog is high-energy and needs structure or anxious and needs patience, I’ll meet them where they are and help them feel comfortable. I’ll follow your dog’s routine closely, treat them like my own, and keep you updated so you always know they’re in good hands.

David was awesome! This was the first time I had ever left my 5 year old Boxer Roscoe with anyone and I was so nervous. David gave me a good feeling from the minute we met and it was Obvious Roscoe likes him. I was able to spend 9 days away getting updates and pics seeing how happy and well taken care of Roscoe was. I HIGHLY recommended David!

During our Meet & Greet, I immediately noticed David’s kind and warm nature. My dog, Simon, immediately snuggled up to him and was very content and calm. I’m very happy with the care and attention that Simon receives when he’s with David!

Our dog, Chase, had a wonderful day at daycare with David! He came home happy and tired - the perfect combo! We can’t thank David enough for his thoughtful and timely communication, schedule flexibility, the photos from the day, and how much he loved on Chase! He clearly loves dogs and takes great care of them. We can’t recommend him enough, and Chase can’t wait for his next visit!

David was amazing with my nervous dog, giving him the time and patience he needed to feel comfortable. He sent daily updates and photos, communicated really well throughout, and gave me complete peace of mind.
