Safety, trust & environment
I always ask the clients to leave details on the ins and outs of their animals. If possible, I stop over beforehand to meet you and your pets. I'e been pet sitting for a long time and am very flexible to the style and type of dog or family.
Information David L. would like to know about your pet
I expect all important and relevant details regarding the dog's regimen, health and behavior ahead of time. If possible, I can stop by and meet you and your dog ahead of time-but not 100% required.
A typical day
That depends on the dog! I enjoy walks or going for a jog. Also enjoy playing with the dog in the backyard or just sitting around together.

Pet care experience
Hello! I'm a school teacher in TC who loves animals and enjoys making extra money on the side. For the last 10 years I bounced between 5 different families. In all of those situations I house sat as I took care of the dogs. I'm known for leaving the house very clean and the dogs well cared for. I'm very reliable and responsible. During work weeks I'd be away from your home from 8:00ish tiI 4:15ish.

Reviews
We had David stay with our 3 Airedale terriers for 24 hours. Perhaps a test for him as 2 are brothers that have just turned one. He did an admirable job with them while managing to get them out for exercise and walks; which right now is not the easiest thing to do. Upon arriving home we found everyone healthy and happy. Plus the house was just as we had left it. We definitely recommend him and will be asking if he can help us out in the future!
Had a great experience with Dave watching my senior pup while I was on a work trip. He was very clear on his schedule and the attention he'd give my dog. He sent frequent updates and sent a bunch of pictures. Everything went great and I came home to a happy dog.
Where do we start with the praises for Dave and the services he provides for our furry child. Dave is far and away the most responsible, friendly, and loving sitter we have ever trusted with our pets. We have a very high maintenance dog with various special medical needs and Dave never once has missed a step. Our dog adores him and seems happy when we go on holiday without her because she gets to spend time with her best friend Dave. I would highly recommend Dave and his services to anyone looking for the absolute perfect person to watch their furry loved one(s). Look no further for someone you can trust and who is reliable with one of the most precious members of your family; Your pets.
David (AKA Uncle Dave to our Dogs) has been our "go to" house and dog caretaker for 5 years and counting. We trust David explicitly with our 2 dogs and our home which includes him overseeing our 2 rental cottages and a small retreat center on our land. David has care~fully navigated real deal emergencies in our absence including a preparation for evacuation during raging fires in the area to immediately addressing one of the dogs when they were injured. David has cared for our very sick animals when we had to travel for work. Adhering to the tedious medication schedules with the same level of love, care and attention that we would give. David communicates with us regularly while we are away. We love the video's and photos he sends of the dogs laying in the sun, on their walks and play time! When we arrive home the furry family is of course always happy to see us however we have a distinct sense that they are missing their Uncle Dave... My husband Jim and I (and Mattie and Cooper) could not recommend Dave Lesinski more highly. Heather and jim Lindemenn Vista, Ca.
