Safe and comfortable loving home

Pet care experience

Hi my name is david. I am a full time stay at home dog sitter I started dog sitting with rover in 2012 to provide a home for your dog that is safe and comfortable to enjoy. my family has 2 wonderful dogs. my golden retriever named luna and my yorkie named rocky. I have patience and experience with dogs of all sizes and breeds. puppies to senior dogs. special needs to separation anxiety I have been a dog sitter and walked dogs in my neighborhood for over 30 yrs I have previous military experience working with dogs while in the navy. my sons tony and leo along with my wife hilda help out caring for your dog. I am very flexible with drop off and pickup times for your dog. just let me know what is the best time for you. Why I love dog sitting I have had dogs in my family since my first dog at age 7. my family and I are very active dog lovers. we would love to have your dog stay with us. My experience administering medication i had a poodle that was diabetic so he was given shots daily. also can give oral medication. i can also give eye or ear drops. I have cpr and dog first aid training.

My dog Hippie gets so excited when he gets to see David and his furry friends. David has a big yard for the dogs to run around. He took care of Hippie very well, I can always trust and rely on David for a fun and safe stay for my doggy.

David was extremely responsive and engaged with us our entire time away. He was wonderful with our puppy, and she loved all the outdoor time, walks, and playing with his pups.

David was fantastic. It was Penny's first time away from home, and David and his dog Luna made Penny feel comfortable and safe. David was understanding of her potty training and kept me updated with pictures and videos. I will definitely use his services again.
