Pet care experience

Mature & Experienced

I am skilled with all sizes and breeds. I am confident and patient with a sincere desire that your pup feel cared for and have fun. I enjoy letting them sniff and explore on a walk or taking them somewhere they can play. I will jog with your dog or walk at a slow pace... whatever you and they prefer. I will follow your instructions, and I am passionate about your dog’s safety and well-being. Your pup will experience a calm and confident human who will make sure their energy and affection needs are satisfied. I am also able to handle dogs with any special needs. I promise your dog will be cared for and safe when they are with me. I look forward to meeting your pup.

David is the absolute best! We are always comfortable going out of town knowing David is taking care of Macy and our home. She needs insulin twice a day and David make sure she gets what she needs including plenty of cuddles 😊

We have used David for the last couple of years and he still is the best! He is very comfortable giving our cat daily insulin shots and treats her like a queen : ) I highly recommend.

David is absolute gem! We have had David care for our pets numerous times and it gives us such peace of mind knowing he takes such good care of them. David is attentive, reliable and loving especially with our special needs animals. Our elderly dog has arthritis with hearing & vision loss and our cat needs daily insulin shots to manage her diabetes. He took the best care of both ❤️ We always come back to happy, calm and well-loved animals— which says a lot about the level of care and attention David gives.

I have cared for dogs my entire life. Specifically, over the last 20 years I have cared for two of my own dogs from puppyhood through end of life decisions. I have battled cancer and surgeries with my dogs, and I have spent my time trying to make sure they had fantastic lives. I absolutely love animals and truly want the best for them.

Let me know how they are with other animals - other dogs in particular. Are there special walk/exercise requests? Dietary needs? I’m happy to do whatever it takes for your dog to feel comfortable, confident, and cared for.
