Pet care experience
I’ve had dogs in my life for over 20 years. Currently I have 2 boxers, Archie and Duke. I worked for Animal Services in Southern California, first as an Animal Care Attendant, then as an Animal Control Officer. Before that, I ran a non-profit dog rescue for a year while the owner was deployed. So your pet will be in good hands while you’re away on vacation or busy at work. My wife and I love animals so this is more fun for us than anything.
Reviews
Sadie had a great day with David and his two super friendly Boxers while I was at Mayo having surgery. We didn’t worry about her at all. When we picked her up in the afternoon, she looked super happy. We could tell she had enjoyed great fun with her new pals Archie and Duke. Thanks David!
It was perfect and Cecilia loved it! She made new best friends! I will be taking her here again. They made me very comfortable by sending me pictures and updates.
We needed a dog sitter at last minute and based off David’s reviews and his knowledge of dogs we felt comfortable leaving our dog in his hands. He sent many updates to let us know how our dog was doing and you could tell he had a great time after picking him up. I highly recommend David if you are in need of someone to watch your dog. ?❤️
Professional and caring. Would be happy to book again
About David P.
Communication
Skills
Safety, trust & environment
I have a fully fenced yard with plenty of space. We live in a good area for walks close to Silver Lake. I have a strict way of introducing dogs to one another that allows me to see how they interact before allowing them to be together. Dogs can be territorial when it comes to their space, food, toys etc. so they need to be monitored when meeting for the first time. I hesitate to take dogs to “dog parks” for that reason. If our dogs don’t get along with each other I can rotate them and keep them separated.
Home
Information David P. would like to know about your pet
I like all breeds of dogs. Regarding your dog or cat, I want to know their daily routine. What they are used to as far as activities, feeding, going outside, how they are with other animals etc. I’d also like to know the small details so that your pet is as calm and comfortable as possible. Things like nicknames, commands they are familiar with, favorite toys or games they like to play, treats they like etc.
A typical day
I prefer to take dogs to state parks and other trails around Rochester. I also enjoy walking around the neighborhood. I provide plenty of dog toys and treats throughout the day and let them outside to play and sniff around. We have a school baseball field behind the house so there is usually something happening for the dogs including squirrels that run along the power lines from tree to tree.
