I work a hybrid schedule and mostly from home through the week, so it's easy for me to take care of pets in the morning and the evening. I really only need to go into the office one or two days out of the week.

Safety, trust & environment

When pets are in my care, I treat them just like I do my own: with love, patience, and play. I stick to routines as closely as possible. That way they feel comfortable and secure. I stick to feeding schedules, walk times, playtime, and when it's time for quiet companionship. In my home, I make sure dogs have a safe, clean, and cozy environment with space to relax and play. I keep water fresh and stick to prescribed food portions, give lots of attention, and provide bathroom breaks and walks as often as they need. In a client’s home, I respect your space and your pet’s routine. I’ll follow all instructions carefully, send updates and photos so you have peace of mind, and make sure your dog feels loved and cared for while you’re away. Your pet’s safety, happiness, and well-being are always my top priorities.

Information David J. would like to know about your pet

Any specific feeding and walking times are greatly appreciated along with the house rules, if they stay off the couch, are allowed to cuddle up, or if they get a belly rub right at lunch time. In addition, a heads up on behavioral quirks is always helpful. If your pup doesn't like to be pet from overhead, has a thing against belly rubs, or should not be left alone with spare shoes-that information is all helpful.

A typical day

I'm a big walker and runner! Whenever dogs are in my care that have big energy I love to go for a walk! If they fell up for it, I also love running with them. My dog for example loves to run with me in the morning and it feels like we're part of a little pack.

Big heart with a small pup!

Pet care experience

Dogs have been a huge part of my life. I’ve been caring for them since I was a kid, and about 6 years ago I finally got a pup of my own. I know how important it is to find someone who will treat your dog like family. Whether it’s walks, playtime, cuddles, or just making sure they feel safe and comfortable, I go above and beyond to give dogs the love and attention they deserve. I’m patient, dependable, and truly enjoy spending time with dogs of all breeds, sizes, and personalities. I’ll always follow your instructions closely and make sure your pup’s routine stays consistent, happy, and stress-free while they’re in my care. As someone who is new to Rover, I'm offering some competitive rates to get more experience on the platform. I'd love to have the opportunity to earn your business and get to know your dog.

David and Andrea were fantastic, as always! Poppy loved staying with them and Charlie, and they always give me peace of mind with frequent updates/check-ins to let me know Poppy is doing well.

This was my first time using Rover and I couldn’t have asked for a better dog sitter. David (Paul) was quick to respond to messages and sent daily updates and pics of my dog. You can tell he really loves dogs, and that mine loves him (lots of dog kisses 😂). Going on vacation this summer and already rebooked with Paul!

I can’t recommend David enough! He took such great care of Olive. He and his wife took her on a 5K run (her favorite thing ever) and made sure she got plenty of walks and attention. He kept me updated regularly, which made me feel so comfortable while I was away. I had to find a sitter last minute and was honestly stressed about it, but I’m so glad I found David. I would absolutely trust him again.

I’m so happy to have found David to care for my little one. I received regular photos which gave me peace of mind. She has been well cared for while we were gone. She seemed very happy and healthy upon our return. Definitely, I will return to David for my next trip. Thank you so much!
