Pet care experience

Long time dog lover.

I've had one or more dogs in my life since I was 6 years old. I currently have a senior red heeler that I rescued 8 years ago. Not only have I grown up taking care of my own dogs, as an adult I dog sit quite regularly for friends. I do work from home, which affords me the opportunity to take breaks to interact with and toilet my heeler and any other dog we have visiting, on their schedules.

Thank you for taking such good care of Scarlett. I felt confident that she would be treated well and given the same love like your own. Purchasing more snacks for her was above and beyond anything that I hoped for. So thoughtful, so gracious. I appreciate you so much. We will be back soon!

Doggy Day Care • Jun 18, 2026

David watched our 16 year old blind dog while we attended a concert from out of state and it was a blessing. He is so kind and gentle and took the best care of our old pup. Our dog is severely attached to his dad and normally doesn’t stop whimpering for him but David said all went well and we couldn’t be happier he was well taken care of while he couldn’t be with us. Highly recommend booking with David!

Doggy Day Care • Jun 02, 2026

David was such a pleasure to have as a dog sitter. I could tell at pick up that Roscoe had truly felt comfortable in his home. David provided clear communication and was luckily able to accommodate changes in our schedule. I would highly recommend him to other pet owners.

David was great! He treated my dog like he was family. I had absolute faith that my dog was right at home and all his needs were being met. I knew that I could leave my dog, with high needs and a big personality, in his care and he’d be in great hands. He sent updates & photos as well. Highly recommend!!

David has cared for our dog in his home over multiple vacations and demonstrated exceptional reliability, attentiveness, and genuine affection for Junie throughout. He has communicated regularly, followed our care instructions carefully, and ensured our dog remained comfortable, active, and well-loved in our absence. We always return to find Junie happy and in great health, and each time we drop her off, she runs excitedly to his front door — a true testament to the quality of David's care. I would not hesitate to recommend him to anyone seeking a caring, trustworthy, and responsible pet sitter.

Schedule

I work from home, so Monday thru Friday, I rarely leave my home, except to take the dog for walks. I may go away in the evenings, during the week, for a couple hours, but that's rare. I do tend to be more active on the weekends, doing my grocery shopping and running other errands, as well church on Sundays, and an occasional brunch.

Safety, trust & environment

I do have a fenced in back yard as well as a senior red heeler (as stated earlier). My heeler doesn't really pay much attention to other dogs, and seems to prefer the company of humans. That being said, he gets along great with other dogs.
