Reliable, Caring, Former Dog Dad

Pet care experience

*Limited Time Intro Rates Available!* Hi! I have been a dog lover my entire life always living in a home full of dogs, and I am looking forward to the opportunity to help make the day easier and stress free for both you and your pup! I was the proudest father of a 17 year old rescue who was a Dachshund / Pomeranian mix named Louie. Louie unfortunately passed last year, which is one of the biggest reasons I am now looking to now help with some extra love to your best friend! For the previous 15+ years I was an office professional who commuted to work each day having to leave my four-legged best friend who suffers from separation anxiety alone at home for hours. I deeply understand not only the stress it puts on our pets, but the stress of a loving owner worrying about them while they are away whether that be at work or going on vacation. I have good general experience with dogs of all ages from puppies to senior dog care. I would also be able to assist with basic oral or topical medications if ever necessary.

David was amazing with our dog Charlie and extremely accommodating. From the minute we met him we knew he would be the perfect person to care for Charlie. David's love for dogs is very apparent and his enthusiasm and smile never fades. Charlie did not want to leave there, we will definitely be using David again!

David is great with my dog Honey! He is always so friendly and takes great care of her. Would highly recommend him.

My dog suffers from separation anxiety and it has been such a relief having a set routine for my fur baby to go on walks with David. I really appreciate how reliable and caring David is and you can see how happy my dog is on their walks from the pictures received. Thanks David for making this a less stressful process for me and my dog!

Information David G. would like to know about your pet

There is no such thing as too much communication as I want to ensure I have complete understanding of your expectations and how I can help. Please let me know if your dog has any special preferences, medical needs, tolerances with people or other animals, or just anything else you may want me to know to help keep both you and your dog happy. I would always want to do everything possible beforehand to ensure both of us feel comfortable that I am the best fit to help take care of your dog. If there are ever any uncertainties, I am happy to potentially arrange a quick meet and greet beforehand. PLEASE feel free to reach out to me with any questions even well before you are ready to book, as I am happy to help with as much information as possible for you to feel confident that your dog is in great loving care! I look forward to hearing from you!

A typical day

I am looking forward to being able to help with whatever your dog likes best or may need, whether it be getting in some needed exercise, play time, a bathroom break...or just need some love and attention while their parents are gone!

As of recently I am hoping to see if hanging with your pup through Rover can be a full time thing. That means you can rest assured that I do not have any other side jobs or responsibilities to worry about, your pups schedule is my schedule! I only watch or walk one pup at a time so I can always ensure yours is getting the complete V.I.P. (Very Important Pup!) treatment! I can assure you that while I am with your pet they will always have my undivided attention as if they were my own.
