Time and Attention
Pet care experience
I'm a FinTech employed millennial living in New Windsor. Often time that means I work from home, which means having a furry friend around to get me up and around the neighborhood is an added bonus to my workday. I've watched dogs & cats for friends, and family, and always enjoyed the experience. Bonding with new Pets and getting to know their personalities, habits, and behaviors is always a great time. The dog in my profile picture (Lana) is actually my basketball teammate's dog and is a rescue and she's the one I've spent the most time with. Since that's unfortunately not a frequent thing, I'd love to expand my options and spend more time with different dogs of all breeds and build more experience with them. I want to build a relationship with your dog and become like a family member to them and become a person you can rely on to assist with them as needed. Looking forward to meeting you and your 4 legged loved ones.
Reviews
I wasn’t quite ready to leave my Jessie with a sitter. I’ve only had to leave her with a really close friend once before. David was really great with my fur baby. They got along which I was worried about because Jessie is so particular but she loved him! David gave me updates and photos and that made me feel so much better :). I will definitely be using David’s services again if I need a sitter again!
Boarding Charlie at David's place went great. David was communicative throughout, and he was undaunted by Charlie's complicated medicine schedule. He even figured out a new way to get Charlie to take his pills. He also supervised his little kids around Charlie to be sure Charlie didn't get overwhelmed. I'd definitely use him again.
Absolutely fantastic care. Both of our dogs came back well-exercised and happy. We’ll come back for sure.
David was wonderful with my Pitt Bull, Huck. I will definitely use his services again!

Generally, I keep the pet close to me for the first 24 hours and aim to do walks every 3 hours until there is a good amount of comfort established. I also like to make sure there is a nice empty bladder and plenty of exercises. When pet sitting I generally get in a minimum of 5 miles of walking around a day. In addition, I try to make sure the pet is okay and also in a good mental state by doing this. Lots of Reassurance, rubs, petting etc.IO usually also stay up fairly late to ensure that there is someone with the fur buddy for the first day throughout the majority of the day.
Home
Information David G. would like to know about your pet
Temperament, personality traits, illnesses of any kind or issues they might have. Aggressive tendencies. Medications that may need to be applied. Generally, I will always ask before a fur buddy arrives what kind of personality they have, what allergies or food and behavior issues I need to be aware of, my number one priority is your fur buddies health, safety and happiness.
A typical day
A Typical work day for me is 8 hours at a computer desk so spicing that up with walks around our neighborhood and messing around in the back yard is a must
