Dave is a great guy, wonderful dog walker and pet sitter. He is communicative, responsible, calm, and loving with our dogs. I highly recommend him.

David stayed with our dogs for a week while we were on vacation and he took such great care of them. He messaged us frequently with photos of their dog walks each day and informe sus of anything unusual happening at the house. We will definitely be requesting his services again!

David is AMAZING!! When my husband and I met David with our pups we knew immediately that he has a special ability to connect with animals (and humans). We have a rescue dog that is fearful of new people and is aggressive toward other dogs on walks. She took to David within seconds and he was able to calm and redirect her when a dog approached us. We were so relived because we were going out of the country for 2 weeks and our regular sitter wasn't doing home sits anymore. We scheduled a few walks with David and realized we no longer had to worry while we were away. We are continuing to schedule walks with him and our dogs are beyond excited when we tell them he is coming. Additionally, David is a calm, gentle, and kind and just a great person. We are so thankful we found him.
