Playful Pups Welcome Here!
Pet care experience
Hi! I’m a lifelong dog lover with experience working as a vet technician, so your pup will be in great hands with me. I have two friendly dogs of my own, so I’m only accepting dogs that are good with other pups. I’m comfortable with small to medium-sized dogs and always aim to make them feel like part of the family. Whether it’s a walk around the neighborhood, playtime in the backyard, or a trip to our local dog park, I make sure dogs get the attention and exercise they need. I also love sending photo updates so you can see how much fun your furry friend is having while you’re away!
Reviews
Great communication and he took good care of captain. Captain came back walked and ready for a nap. Would happily trust him with captain again!!
David is amazing with dogs! He’s super reliable, really patient, and you can tell he genuinely loves being around them. Whether it’s going for walks, playing, or just hanging out, dogs seem to feel totally at ease with him. I’d trust him with my pup any day.

Safety, trust & environment
Your dog’s safety and comfort are my top priorities. With my background as a vet technician, I know how to handle dogs with care and confidence, and I’m always alert to their needs and behaviors. My two dogs are friendly and well-socialized, and I only accept dogs who get along well with others to keep everyone safe and happy. I have a fenced backyard for secure outdoor play and live near a local dog park for fun adventures. I’ll keep you updated with photos and messages so you can relax knowing your pup is in good hands.

Information David I. would like to know about your pet
Every pet has their own personality, routine, and needs—and I want to make sure I give yours the best care possible! Before any stay or walk, it’s helpful to know: • 🐾 Any medical needs, allergies, or medications • 🐕 How they do on walks (leash pulling, reactivity, favorite routes) • 🐶 How they interact with other pets or kids • 🕰️ Feeding and potty schedule • 🎾 Favorite toys or calming tricks • 😬 Any fears, anxieties, or quirks (like loud noises or separation anxiety) • 🐾 House rules (furniture, crate time, etc.)
A typical day
Whether your pet is high-energy or just loves to chill, I’m here to keep them happy, safe, and entertained! I love going on walks with dogs and giving them time to sniff, explore, and burn off energy. We might play a game of fetch, tug-of-war, or chase bubbles (a favorite!)—whatever fits your dog’s personality. For mellow pups or senior dogs, we can enjoy calm strolls, cozy cuddle time, and some light enrichment like puzzle toys or frozen treats.

Availability
I have a flexible schedule and can accommodate morning, afternoon, or evening walks and visits, depending on your needs. I’m usually home during the day, especially on weekends, and can provide regular care, playtime, and attention throughout your dog’s stay. Let me know your dog’s routine—I’m happy to stick to their feeding, walking, and potty schedule to keep things consistent and stress-free for them!
