Santa Fe Dog Care

Pet care experience

From the young age of 10, I have devoted myself to the well-being of a diverse array of creatures that have graced the lives of those around me. Whether they were feline, canine, or feathered friends, my nurturing touch extended to both the purring companions of neighbors, the beloved pets of my dearest kin, and the feathered wonders that took flight in the company of friends. My unwavering passion for aiding these amazing animals has been ingrained within me since the earliest memories I can conjure, a constant and resolute desire to lend a helping hand to our precious animal companions.

We are very happy with the way David took care of our dog & our house. He was very prompt in his communications and left our house in spotless shape. Our dog & his dog Bear appeared to have really bonded which only added to the positive experience for all. The only downside is that our dog seems to be missing Bear...

David took great care of our home and dog. He is quick at responding and a very easy-going person.

This is the second time David has watched Jack and our home and we couldn’t be happier. We trust him completely with our pup and property and are so thankful he keeps coming back!

David is kind, trustworthy and professional! Our first experience with a house sitter exceeded expectations for sure. He sent photos of Jack, took excellent care of our pup and home, and left everything immaculate. We will absolutely hope to have him back in the future!

Safety, trust & environment

In the realm of pet care, I embrace a philosophy that treats every furry friend, whether they reside in my own home or belong to my valued clients, with the utmost devotion and reverence. These cherished creatures are regarded as esteemed members of our extended family, where rules, guidelines, and restrictions are dutifully observed to ensure their safety and well-being. Within this realm of responsibility, I am resolute in creating an environment that brims with love and care, where each pet is showered with affection and nurtured with care. Amidst engaging activities & nap time each pet is met with tailored attention and individualized care, respecting their unique personalities and needs. With a firm commitment to uphold the sanctity of their existence, I strike a delicate balance between maintaining order and offering a safe place to relax. The well-being of these beloved companions is a paramount concern, and I strive to imbue their lives with joy, security, and a profound sense of family.

Information David G. would like to know about your pet

Before taking care of your beloved animals, I would greatly appreciate knowing how they feel about and interact with other dogs, particularly with a seven-year-old chocolate lab like mine. Understanding their temperament and past experiences with other canines will enable me to create a harmonious and enjoyable environment during our time together. The well-being and comfort of all the animals under my care are of utmost importance, and I will take every precaution necessary to ensure a positive and stress-free experience for everyone involved. Your input regarding their behavior with other dogs will help me tailor activities and provide the best possible care for each unique furry companion.

A typical day

When I care for the dogs, I make sure to engage in fun activities that cater to each furry friend's unique needs and preferences. For energetic pups, we might head to a nearby dog park, where they can freely run, play fetch, and socialize with other friendly canines. For the more laid-back companions, we could enjoy leisurely walks along nature trails or through serene neighborhoods, allowing them to take in the scents and sights at their own pace. Every dog is special! For those who enjoy water, like Bear we might find a nearby creek for some splashy playtime. For the furry couch potatoes who prefer cozy cuddles and belly rubs, I am more than happy to provide gentle head scratch’s & belly rubs. No matter their personalities or preferences, my ultimate goal is to ensure they feel loved, safe, and cherished throughout their time with me. Whether it's engaging in play, exploring new places, or simply sitting together, my care is tailored to bring joy and fulfillment to each individual dog I have the pleasure of watching. Their happiness is my greatest reward, and I strive to make every moment together a truly heartwarming experience.

Pet care seamlessly integrates into my daily and weekly routine, a harmonious dance that aligns perfectly with my work-from-home lifestyle as a portfolio manager. The flexibility of my profession allows me to allocate a few dedicated hours, typically between 7:30 AM and 2 PM, to fulfill my financial work commitments. However, most importantly this schedule allows me to free up most of my time to tend to the needs of my beloved companions. Within this timeframe, I efficiently accomplish my tasks for the day, while keeping a watchful eye and the ability to act fast ensuring that everything is satisfactorily completed. *My dog Bear, who is a 7 year old chocolate-lab, fixed, up to date with all of his shots, and gets along with other dogs & cats extremely well, has severe separation anxiety. On two or more overnight stays, he will need to accompany me in any house sitting duties. However, he’s well-trained, and his favorite spot is sleeping by my feet most of the time. I completely understand if this disqualifies me from any further consideration of duties. However, I am more than happy to schedule a meeting in order to see how the dogs get along. The beauty of my schedule extends to the weekends, where I am blessed with ample free time. With this gift of leisure, I am able to provide comprehensive care and undivided attention to my cherished pets. The harmony between my work commitments and pet care responsibilities is a testament to the careful orchestration of my routine, offering a seamless blend of professional and nurturing endeavors.
