Most of my best friends are dogs

Pet care experience

I view most animals as friends, and love to learn their distinct personalities. I like to try and see the world through their eyes. I have always sought out animals as a way to de stress. It's hard to be mad when youre playing with a puppy, holding a purring kitten, or walking a dog around a park. I recently started working at an animal shelter and every day brings excitment getting to know and help out animals in need. They have so much to teach us. I do rover on my days off cause our adopted animals still need care. They still need someone to open up doors, direct them through the park, clean up after them, socialize with them, stop them from making bad choices, feeding them, medicating them (if needed), and making sure they have a happy life with their loving friends who provide them a home.

David does a great job even with my goofy, stubborn, crazy huskies.

We had a last minute event out of town and we’re lucky to find David. He responded to all of our messages very quickly and took great care of our pup.

I walk pretty fast and can do 1-2 mile walk in a half hour. OR if your pet is more of a sniffer i can do a calm relaxing walk around a park or neighborhood. You tell me what I need to do for your pet and ill accommodate.

Information David G. would like to know about your pet

I always like to take a few moments to observe and assess each new dog I meet and ask questions based on each individual. I also like to know... 1) are they leash aggressive/ toy or food possessive? 2) do they get along with other dogs? Like people, dogs have good and bad days so ive learned to be patient and flexible. You tell me what I need to do for pup, and ill accommodate

A typical day

Ill find the closest park or green belt near your home. I will make sure your dog has lots of things to sniff and observe. Once I know your pups personality ill do what I feel they want or need. High energy a nice long distance walk is doable. For lower energy or older dogs maybe we just walk around the park and sit in the sun.

Im off three days a week. Tuesday, Wednesday, and Saturday. I work 7-6 the ther days of the week but am open to after work drop ins. I will NOT do new last minute bookings with out being able to meet you the owner and the dog 1st. Once I have met you and the dog (or animal) I am almost always willing to do last minute walks or drop ins on my off days.
