Pet care experience
Keeping your dog safe & having fun!
Hey! When it comes to your dog, my approach is to treat them with the same love and care I have for my pup. My biggest priorities are safety and comfort. I have been the primary caregiver for two dogs with leash reactivity as an adult — including my current dog, who is 75 pounds — so I have experience handling a strong dog plus the excitement of an adrenaline spike. During walks, I pay close attention to the environment and the dog's body language and make any adjustments as needed. I also have dog sat for friends, so I am comfortable with caring for dogs other than mine and learning to work with their specific personalities and habits. I'd like to know as much as I can about your dog so I can provide the best care possible.

Safety, trust & environment
In a client's home, I look to respect the dog's space and understand the lay of the land. I want to know where the dog is comfortable in the home and anywhere I would need to keep them away from so they stay safe. I am currently unable to care for other dogs in my own home.
Ratings and reviews
David did greet with Bear! Sent multiple photos and was very responsive! Would book with him again!
Great service as always!
David is awesome! He has always taken such great care of Nimbus! He will be Nimbus’s only walker! Exceptional service and super friendly!
David is a great man! He took care of my puppy like it was his own. My dog was recovering from a sickness and couldn’t be boarded(to protect other dogs). He had medication he was taking to help. David came and helped him through it! I am BEYOND grateful for the services that he provided. He sent plenty of photos and videos so that I can track my puppy’s progress. He was very communicative the entire time! Easily, my go-to sitter!! Highly recommend his services!
David has watched (including some overnights) and walked my dog Riggins several times and has been awesome with him. It’s nice to be able to leave and have peace of mind that my dog is safe and having a blast. Riggins is over 65lbs and can be aggressive with certain dogs, and David has been able to handle that like a pro. Highly recommend.
David is super reliable and has been great with my high energy dog. I boarded my dog with David for an entire weekend when he was just 4 months old and David was very communicative the entire time and diligently followed the feeding and exercise instructions I left for him. Since then, I’ve consistently relied on David for both boarding and walks. David is always reliable, communicative, and attentive to my dog’s needs, and my dog is always extremely excited to see him. Cannot recommend David enough!

Schedule
I typically have flexibility on weekdays during standard 9-5 working hours, so I am able to cater to most times of day, including same-day bookings. Nights and weekends will change week-to-week depending on the time of year.
