Pet care experience

I love animals!

I love animals, and am already walking/hiking 4-5 times a week. I have a house with a good size front and backyard. It’s a great concept and the idea of giving a pet the opportunity to have company, and exercise. Feels rewarding to my soul and happy to give a break to all the full-time pet owners out there. I have had dogs growing up in the family and I've been around them my whole life so I'm confident in being able to handle the responsibility and I think the dogs will have a great time!

Doggy Day Care • Apr 12, 2026

David took great care of Sasha (7-month-old pup) at daycare. He’s disciplined, experienced, and knows how to provide the right balance of physical and mental stimulation. Sasha came home happy and well cared for - highly recommend him!

Doggy Day Care • Apr 02, 2026

It was our first time using a dog sitter, and since Sierra hadn’t stayed with anyone else before, we were a bit nervous. But the experience exceeded our expectations. Sierra looked very happy, we got plenty of photos and updates during the day, and today she happily went back to David for the second time. We are very happy and would definitely recommend!

David is an amazing dog sitter, we will certainly rebook In the future! We received great updates of pictures, videos, and feedback on how our dog was adjusting to the new environment. We felt completely assured that our dog was in the best hands throughout the week, and that he will actually miss being in David’s care, as he had a great week with many experiences during fun walks ⭐️

David was great with our 7 month year old dog. She took a bit to settle but based on the updates, photos and videos David provided, she had great time. Thanks!

David was very responsive when we initially reached out. Our dog came back happy, and tired. She was clearly well looked after in her stay!

Safety, trust & environment

I am home virtually all day, when the weather permits I spend alot of time in the yard. I can play a little fetch and tug of war.

A typical day

I like to wake up and go for a short work first thing, come back have breakfast, get a few things done, and then go for a longer walk/hike, and then at least one more longer walk in the early evening. There are also couple of good dog parks nearby if your dog likes those. I am very open to suggestions as i’m sure owners will know the environment their pets prefer and possibly particular places as well

I get along well with animals, but just like humans they have their own personalities and health challenges. The more I know in advance the more I can adapt to give your pet the best care possible
