David was awesome. My dog enjoyed him on a first visit for 5 days. He was also very flexible with my schedule. Would recommend.

David is very flexible and accommodated an emergency I had for our first meeting. We rescheduled at our convenience the next day. He is extremely accommodating, knowledgeable about dogs. He is very pleasant as he knows science.

Schedule

I currently work from home and optionally from the office. Weekdays are great days for me to dogsit at home. For walks I am flexible but prefer around lunch time and after work hours. Please check out my calendar and we can adjust if necessary.

Safety, trust & environment

I live very close to grassy areas and dog parks, so if they want/need to get out of the apartment, i'd happily take them and still be able to work remotely for a while (while also petting and playing with them). The apartment itself has more than enough space for them to laze about if they want and my floors are pet friendly so any messes from feeding, drinking or scratching would never be an issue.

A typical day

I allow my companions to take in the interesting smells around. Occasionally during walks, we’ll do a jog here n there to get some of that energy out. If dog parks are ok with you, we’ll also play fetch to your pups delight!

Are there any dietary restrictions? I like to give my companions treats on our walks if that’s ok with you. How is your dog with other dogs of similar size or bigger? Does your dog know any tricks?
