Pet care experience

Making every moment matter!

Hi, I’m David — a lifelong pet lover. I’ve had animals in my family since I was five and have been the primary caretaker for pets for the past 17 years. I’ve worked locally at holistic pet stores, advising on nutrition, safety, and training. I’m experienced with clicker training, shaping behaviors, and positive reinforcement — always using safe and engaging methods. I’m reliable, communicative, and understand the deep trust and bond you share with your pets. I'm happy to send pictures of your pup on a walk & am not shy to ask questions about your pets habits and routines. I believe in care that balances fun, love, and respect. Whether it’s supporting senior dogs with mobility and diet needs or keeping up with high-energy pups, I know every pet deserves attention tailored to who they are & I can't wait to meet them! At home, I share life with Jack, my special old pup who requires lots of love and care, and Kenneth, a 7 yr old chihuahua that my wife and I have recently adopted. From daily walks to cuddle sessions, I focus on making every moment matter — keeping pets safe and happy, and giving you peace of mind.

Pets

Safety, trust & environment

I believe a pet’s comfort comes from routine & reinforcement & celebration of positives. I follow their feeding, walking, and play schedules closely, keeping things consistent so they feel safe, happy, and cared for.

David was very sweet with Pheebs and kept me updated every step of the way! He took the time to make sure my anxious dog felt a little calmer

David is great with pups! Very knowledgeable and loving! He loves big and small dogs & is always super responsive. He’s great with our older guy as well as our younger pup who has a bit more energy. Highly recommend!
