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.

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.

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 large-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!

All went smooth. David, and his young kids, were very nice to my dogs. It was sweet to see the kids engaging so calmly with my small terriers. I got the dogs back tired and thirsty (they went for a good walk before pick up). I would have David (and his family) watch my dogs again.

Our two dogs had a great time with David and his family and enjoyed playing with David's two dogs. They were happy and tired when we picked them up. I would definitely use David again!
