Active dog lover!

First and foremost I have been a fervent dog lover my whole life! I am an extremely active individual, climb, run, ski, yoga etc and would love to host your pup(s) and integrate them into my activities and create some new fluffy friends at the same time! My house is small so Ideally I would prefer to host medium size or smaller dogs for boarding, but the right pup may change my mind so no harm in asking!

David was amazing with my dog. I was so at peace being away for a while. 10/10 recommend and I will be using again! ✨

David is one of the most reliable and caring people I know. He’s patient, responsible, and genuinely loves animals. I’ve seen firsthand how attentive he is with pets, always making sure they feel safe, happy, and cared for. I would trust him with any pet without hesitation.

In my opinion, David is a dog whisperer;-) He’s been asked to take care of friends dogs because of this affinity he has with them. He’s reliable and wonderful to work with.

DAVID IS A GEM! I had an amazing experience with David! He was reliable, caring, and truly went above and beyond. My dog (Indy) was immediately comfortable with him, which says a lot. I received great updates and could tell Indy was getting plenty of attention, exercise, and love. Easy communication and an all-around great experience. I would absolutely recommend him to anyone looking for someone trustworthy and genuinely passionate about animals. I’ll definitely be booking with David again!

I work part time in service and part time coaching climbers from the office/gym. I also am currently engaged in school but had plenty of time and energy to incorporate a furry friend into the mix!

Safety, trust & environment

I typically walk dogs along the jordan river park way or rake them up mill/city creek for runs. My back yard is mostly fenced but wont let dogs outside that don’t have perfect recall.. this spring I intend to complete the fencing in the back.

A typical day

Wake up, feed them, play, outdoor activity, play, feed, relax, bed. I would say this sums up a standard day. If I have to work In the evening I will usually increase the intensity of outdoor activity so they are nice and tired when I am away.

Please let me know if your dog has any special needs or behaviors. Extra assessment and an additional fee will be required for dogs that require additional care. Dogs that are not house broken will not be tolerated, so if your dog has frequent accidents I will not be available to board. Sorry in advance, but this is my home.
Each sitter joining Rover needs to pass a background check. And by booking on Rover, you can get photo & message updates, 24/7 support, and reimbursement for eligible vet care.
