Retired, love animals.

Pet care experience

I will take care of your pet as if it were my own. Very dependable, recently retired pharmaceutical rep who now wants to start doing something he really loves, taking care of your pet when needed. I have had various pets my whole life and I not only enjoy their company but my whole family does as well. My wife and 2 older children are crazy about dogs and we've been with them all our lives. It's made us all richer for it couldn't imagine raising my children without pets. It has given them a real sense of love plus responsibility to care for something other than just themselves. I look forward to bonding with your animals and taking care of them as needed. Thank you.

Dave has cared for my two dogs all their lives. With two kids there are frequent events and trips for their interests not to mention travel to see families at holidays and time away for vacation. He is very flexible, extremely relaible and enjoys being with my dogs as much as they love seeing him. He has taken the time to learn about them and by doing that they relate to him incredibly well. I always feel safe letting him walk them and care for them and know they will be well taken care of.

David has been a friend & caregiver to my Toy Poodle, Bailey, for the last 11 years. The gentle way about David is perfect for my endless energy poodle. They bonded when she was a puppy and are still great friends today! I have trusted David to look over our Bailey when we go away on vacation knowing that Bailey will be well taken care of. Everyone needs occasional help with their pet and I'm sure glad we can count on David anytime we go out of town! He will be a great addition to your Team!!

Dave has been close with my dogs since they were puppies. I have trusted him to watch, play with, and walk my dogs on numerous occasions. I always know that he will take good care of them, keep them safe, and they will have a great time when under his supervision. Whenever he comes to my house, Sadie & Daisy (My Border Collies), are ALWAYS SO excited to see him! It is a joy to watch him interact with my dogs, and I can always tell that he is having just as much fun as they are! Border Collies are very high drive dogs—i.e., they can be high maintenance; but Dave handles them flawlessly. He is knowledgeable about dog handling and safety, and is a very responsible care giver. I would recommend him as a dog walker or sitter to all pet parents!
