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.

David was a fantastic sitter for our Rocky! Flexible, communicative and caring. He provided regular updates and photos and I could tell our boy was happy and well cared for. We would use his sitting services again in a heartbeat!

David provided the best care for our 2 pups! We were away for 2 weeks in which time David kept us updated on the well being of our dogs. He is a conscientious pet care provider 🐾🐾

My goldendoodle was happy and healthy staying with David for 8 days! It's clear how much David enjoys having the company of dogs and the care he takes toward them.

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.
