Animal lover seeks walking friends!

Pet care experience

Dear Pet owners, My name is Dave and have been watching pets now for about 10 years on and off. Mostly local and for friends and family. Now that I've discovered Rover I'd like to branch out a bit and meet new four-legged friends and their owners too. I enjoy taking dogs for walks around their neighborhoods, local conservation sites and to the beaches in the off-season. I've taken care of both cats and dogs and houses and plants too, at all times of the year. I know the area fairly well and I enjoy the elements no matter what they bring here in New England. I'm good at following specific diet rules as many of our pets are picky and some may get sickly otherwise. I enjoy playing with pups and lounging with the older dogs too. I'm fairly flexible when it comes to where I'm staying if it's overnight and not shy when it comes to cleaning up after a pets mess here and there. Overall I like dogs and cats, we seem to get along well and we often have a good time and they are always well taken care of while they're owners are away.

David and Wilma did very well together. My husband has surgery in Boston and so David came to our home for several days and Wilma was well taken care of. The bonus was the David was very neat and our house was as we left it. I would not hesitate to have David care for Wilma and/ or house sit in the future. Top notch and trustworthy!

David has been our dog sitter for 8 years. We love and trust him , as does our Bichon Annie. He takes her everywhere including on his bike and boat ,and treats her like the princess she is! Dave’s is one of her favorite friends! We have Confidently left him in charge of her,our plants, our house, and sometimes even our daughter ‘s dog and cat for as long as 10 days ! David is terrific!!

Information David F. would like to know about your pet

I would ask if the dog likes strangers and have they ever left their dog with another person before? Are they naturally aggressive, passive, do they take a liking to other dogs? What are their favorite activities, toys and treats?! No preference on breeds, it's all about the personality and temperament.

A typical day

I'm most familiar with the upper Cape and mid Cape regions. I love taking dog walks through our surrounding natural habitats and conservation areas. I think they get a kick out of the smells and seeing new sites and wildlife. However, I always play it safe and keep dogs on the leash as I may not always get your dog to listen to my commands etc. If dogs like to play fetch in a enclosed back yard I'm all for it too!
