Treat Your Dog Like Family

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 is great! This was our first experience with him. For the first time Mila did not jump in my arms when she saw me at pickup. She was perfectly happy with David. Finding someone trustworthy is hard to find. I feel like you could trust him as he also can relate since he has his own dog. Super kind and careful with treating Mila. I truly appreciate how responsive he is. Fantastic all around!! 🙏

David was a wonderful care provider for my two doggies. Very patient with them when they initially had an accident. Sent me daily updates and was very understanding when I was a little late to pick them up!

It was obvious from our first meeting that David and Auggie would be a great fit for my energetic pup. David is friendly, accommodating and was confident in his care for Hugo. He kept me updated during the stay and it was clear that Hugo was having a fun time and being well taken care of. I would happily book with David again and am thankful for his excellent care while we were away.

David watched my beloved Yeti for 9 days. He took great care of Yeti, and Yeti was very happy in his care. I felt comfortable and safe leaving Yeti with David. David followed our specific directions, kept in touch with us, and shared pictures of Yeti so the time passed quickly. We will definitely book David for our upcoming trips in the future.

Schedule

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.

Pets

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.

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.
