Dog Dave Care
Look no further!! I’m the answer to all your dog’s needs… I respond quickly, so please reach out. Let’s do a meet and greet ASAP!! Please read my profile and client reviews, and check out my photo gallery where you’ll see what kind of fun that your dog and I will have on a daily basis. I send tons of pictures and videos. Headed out of town?? I’d love to create a seamless stress free opportunity for you to get away. Your dog(s) can stay at my place with AC, a fenced in yard, and many neighborhood parks nearby. My house is in a safe and quiet neighborhood right across the street from Frenchy Field. If you prefer your dog to have the familiarity of your home, let’s chat about housesitting. Guaranteed fun either way. I love all dogs unconditionally. I can provide a smaller pack environment for your dog rather than a kennel where there could be 50 dogs at a time. Yikes!! I only accept dogs from one to two owners at a time so please plan ahead as I may get booked very quickly. This ensures that I can give your dogs the attention and care that they deserve.

Ratings and reviews
David was the best person we could have found to watch our dog Maple. He obsoletely is a huge dog lover and it’s wonderful to see how much he cares about them. His dog became her best friend. They played perfectly together. We would not hesitate to recommend David to anyone and will be def having him watch her again. Also, he sent the nicest photos and videos while we were gone. Made us feel very happy she was with him.
Our dog was very happy with David. We received several picture during the stay.
David is simply the best! We came to Santa Fe from Denver for a few days (Monday-Thursday) and we have 7 and 8 year old Border Terriers. Our male has epilepsy, and we do not leave him alone, so we hired David to watch them. David came on Monday night, Tuesday day, Tuesday night, Wednesday day and Wednesday night so that we could go out to dinner, go to the spa, etc. He stayed for several hours at a time, which was a big ask, especially since he has his own pup, but we couldn't ask for a better experience with him. He arrived on time or early, walked them, played with them, administered medications, gave them snacks and loved them! He sent us lots of videos and photos and updates, so we knew they were being taken care of and meds given, etc. He is also just a lovely person, and we really enjoyed getting to know him. He has a calming energy which was great for my boy with epilepsy. We won't hesitate to use him again if we go back to Santa Fe. Thank you so much David!
David took excellent care of my dog Lizzie with no issues at all. He sent photos & videos daily and kept me updated on how she was doing. It is great he has a calm dog to be a companion , too. It was such a relief to know she was being well taken care of while I was away.
David took good care of our boys while we attended a wedding. Would book him again if we ever come back to Santa Fe.
This was our second time leaving our puppy with David and it was just as good as the first! Our pup loves him and he’s so great about sending us pictures and videos while we’re gone. We have no doubts when we leave her in his care and will definitely be back in the future!

Schedule
My daily routine revolves around my dog pack needs. Our routine is generally morning food, walk, park, play, chill, and then repeat in the evening. I work from home so I am flexible and can accommodate most needs for your pets. Everything from simple walks and feeding to extended stays at my place or yours, it sounds like fun to me.

Safety, trust & environment
I have a full time best friend and dog named Spreckles who is pretty close to perfect. His nickname is Sprex. He is Hawaiian, so naturally he is very friendly and mellow with tons of Aloha. My number one priority is pack safety. I follow a daily routine and consistent schedule with my pack. Our day always starts with a nice walk to a nearby park. I use my own custom made leash system that I can walk many dogs at the same time, safely and securely. When we’re not out walking or at the park we do a lot of chilling and hanging out around our house and fenced in yard. I promote the pack mentality among my dogs as I am always their pack leader who ensures their safety and protection all the time. I’m glad to use your dog’s crate at my house whenever I am not home if needed (not typical). Sometimes I take the pack out on planned field trips, usually afternoons and weekends, to various places throughout the area. Frenchy Park is right across the street from my house and super fun for the pups. I treat and protect each dog as if they were my own and love them all unconditionally. FYI, I don’t introduce my pack to other dogs that we don’t know, to avoid any unwanted drama and to keep everyone safe. New dogs really shouldn’t be introduced while on leashes anyway. I speak the language of dogs and am confident around them always. I am always their alpha who provides a fun and safe space for my pack.

A typical day
I follow a basic routine with my dogs on a daily schedule. Food n water, walks n parks, poops n pees, treats, plays, repeat. I try to visit a park two or three times a day for a nice walk. I send tons of pictures and videos to every dog owner every day. Like tons, no joking! I am very much a homebody who enjoys playing and hanging with my pack. My guy Spreckles is very mellow and enjoys spending most of his time lounging around in the house and in our yard. He is very friendly and would love to share our place with other dogs.
