Your family member, our best friend

Pet care experience

Hello, Rover provides a great opportunity to have fur babies and my 5 yr old daughter loves meeting new dogs. We had 3 rescues, a sharpei, mastiff mix, and a boxer, who all lived very long and happy lives. I understand that your dog is a family member. I was an active foster parent when I lived in Missouri and successfully united 8 dogs with furever homes. I have a lot of experience dealing with very needy breeds and unique health problems. If your dog is healthy and able, I love going on hikes and with permission will take him or her out to trails. My daughter and I will both be providing care and make sure your dog gets lots of attention and the love it deserves. However, she's only 5, so your dog must be good with kids. My yard is fully fenced, and I'll also be doing walks for taking care of business, my neighborhood is very dog friendly and has lots of grassy areas (and fire hydrants) for your dog to explore. I'll take your dog out at least every 8 hours when home and immediately before and after work. We are more than happy to accommodate special needs when able, we dealt with Cushings with our Mastiff and understand that some dogs need extra attention. I can only watch dogs that are housetrained, as I will not keep your dog outside. Your dog will have the freedom to go in and outdoors with a doggy door if it fits, and you are comfortable with it. My daughter absolutely loves dogs, so your dog will get lots of love and attention during its stay. My daughter is very used to dogs and she's gentle and will always be supervised around the dog.

Took amazing care of our dog when he wasn’t feeling so great. We’re always excited for Odie to have a stay at David’s home!

We had a wonderful boarding experience with David and his family from the beginning to the end. They took great care of our pup, provided pictures, and communicated regularly. We appreciated the care they took and will definitely look to use their services again in the future.

I keep a clean home with wood floors on the main level and carpet upstairs, your dog will have the option to sleep upstairs in the room with us, on the couch, or in a kennel depending on his/her preference. We don't allow dogs on the beds. If your dog needs a kennel, you'll need to bring it, but we do have a large orthopedic bed. If you want to bring your dogs bed to make them more at home, we'll gladly accommodate. We have a fully fenced back yard with a 5 ft fence.

Information David L. would like to know about your pet

If you know how the dog is around kids, that is very important. I'll always be supervising when my daughter is around the dog, and we will be extra vigilant during 1st introduction, but if your dog has known problems with kids, I'm not a good fit.

A typical day

I will be using your dog as an excuse to get out of the house and see all that Colorado has to offer, I prefer to avoid dog parks because of the possibility of fights and poor owners, so your dog will only be off leash in my backyard or other fenced in areas that are dog free. If your dog can't handle too much physical activity, it'll be cuddled and cared for like one of our own. Just let me know about any physical activity limitations.
