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 for boarding, drop-ins, and walks on both weekdays and weekends. I’m also flexible with scheduling and happy to work around your dog’s normal routine so their day feels as familiar and comfortable as possible.

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. 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, cared for them, trained them, and learned early on that dogs need more than someone simply watching them. They need attention, patience, structure, and a home where they feel safe. Since I work from home, I’m around most of the day and can give your dog consistent care, walks, attention, and companionship. Whether your dog is high-energy and needs structure, or a little anxious and needs patience, I’ll do my best to help them feel comfortable and cared for. I’ll follow your dog’s routine closely, treat them like part of the family, and keep you updated so you know they’re in good hands.

David was absolutely amazing! He sent photos and his dog was super mellow with my high energy Enzo. We highly recommend him. Super happy with his services

What a great experience! We left our 16 month old, 80 lb, high energy, Golden Retriever named Bailey with David, David's girlfriend Barbara, and his Golden Retriever Auggie. This was our first experience with Rover and Bailey's first time away from home. David was easy to work with and sent pictures and comments during the day. It was obvious Bailey enjoyed her play day. We look forward to working with David and his clan again. We highly recommend that you consider David for your furry family member's next doggy care need!

Lots of pictures and great updates. His dog, Auggie, is also very nice and great for playing with other dogs
