Pet care experience

Dog loving drummer!

Lifelong dog lover and owner here. I had 3 toy poodles, each lived 17+ years. Ophelia was blind and Mimi couldn't walk the last few months of her life so each required special care and attention that I provided on a daily basis. Experienced and comfortable administering medication, orally (pill and liquid), eye and ear drops. I have dog sat and cat sat uncountable times over the past 20 years ranging from all sizes, Chihuahua to Redbone Coonhound, from puppies to seniors. I have immense patience and love for animals and the joy that caring for animals brings me is unmatchable and I only hope to give dogs and animals the same joy and love they give me. I love dogs and will make sure that your pet is given the absolute best care with tons of love and attention!

Doggy Day Care • Feb 04, 2026

David is awesome! My dogs love him and he was excellent with my 2 month old puppy. Would definitely recommend having your dogs stay with him, I had peace of mind and felt comfortable knowing they were chilling while I was at work.

Drop-In Visits • Oct 05, 2025

David was fantastic! This was an extremely last-minute request and he accommodated without hesitation, even coming by for a same-day meet and greet on short notice. He was punctual, reliable, and communicated clearly throughout the visits. He took great care of both Ashford and Shiloh, making sure Shiloh got his food and potty breaks, and patiently working with Ashford who was a little shy and hesitant. I really appreciated the updates, photos, and how attentive he was to each of their different needs. I felt completely at ease knowing they were in good hands. Highly recommend David for anyone needing a trustworthy and flexible sitter!

Safety, trust & environment

I have a fully enclosed grassy backyard and large front yard in a very safe neighborhood with ample sidewalks and parks nearby for walking and playing. I have small and medium dog beds, and two large crates/playpens if needed. I have toys, bowls, leashes, harnesses for very small dogs, a dog stroller for small senior babies, and multiple sets of doggy stairs to assist getting on and off the couch/bed. I have a secure environment and can make sure the dogs are never out of my sight. I am available for either hosting in my home or traveling to your location to care for your pet, whichever is most convenient for you and your animal's needs. I want you to be comfortable and stress free while away from your loved one knowing that they are in extra loving and caring hands! I will always update you while you're away with photos fun!

A typical day

I enjoy taking dogs on walks through local parks. Playing ball, fetch and any other toys dogs like. Exercise if needed/wanted and just giving love and attention. There are a few grassy areas walking distance from my house.

How much attention does the dog require? Beagles, poodles, mostly mid to smaller sized dogs. Any issues involving toys or being alone? Is your pet active or do they rest a lot? Any medication, special diet, or other pertinent info about your pet that will better help me care for them.
Each sitter joining Rover needs to pass a background check. And by booking on Rover, you can get photo & message updates, 24/7 support, and reimbursement for eligible vet care.
