Nursing Student - West End Runner

Pet care experience

I'm a nursing student dog sitting part-time, and have cared for dogs my whole life. Since my schedule is flexible, I can pop by whatever time works best for your schedule. If you're at work at worried about your puppy, I'd love to stop by and keep him/her company. Have some plans for this weekend but are worried that your puppy will be lonely? I can come by and make sure he/she is doing okay and has a buddy that they can play with. I can take care of dogs with special needs, medications, or dietary restrictions. I can also run long or short distance with your dogs. If you need them tired out, I'm definitely your guy. Just a little about me, I'm recently engaged and plan to get married in the next year. We have two dogs: a standard poodle puppy named Gypsy and a 3 year old chinese crested named Louie. If your dog stayed with us, he/she would have plenty of company during their stay. I'm very passionate about animals and would take the up-most care of your dog. I would love to watch, play, and care for your dog!

David was the first reliable and trustworthy Rover person I experienced in my area. After going through several flakey people it was an absolute blessing to have David care for our senior dog. Everything was perfect and we will be using David as much as his schedule allows!

David does a fabulous job with our dogs. He plays fetch with them and takes them for runs. Our lab and sheltie love to see David coming. They know they are going to have fun!!

David has taken care of my pup on many occassions and his care is second to none. David is very trustworthy and my pup loves him. He gives David two paws up! I was happy to hear that David was wanting to join Rover as I use the app myself to find dogsitters when David is not free to watch my pup. David is definitely a great fit as a Rover dogsitter and I would highly recommend his service to anyone who needs a genuine animal lover.

Information David P. would like to know about your pet

If I'm sitting for your dog, I'd like to know beforehand if they are agressive or have anxiety around people or other dogs. I can work with these types of dogs but would just like a heads up before meeting your dog. I don't have any breed preferences so all dogs are welcome!

A typical day

I like taking dogs to the park. It gets them socialized and worn out. I know not all dogs at the park are friendly so I'll keep a close eye on your dog and if things start to look tense, I know when to remove the dog from the situation before it gets heated. If you want me to take your dog on a walk or run, I can run near your home or near mine. I live in the Twin Hickory community where there are lots of hiking trails and side walks. There's also Twin Hickory Park and Short Pump Park (with the beautiful new dog park) nearby. I also have a dog park right outside my apartment door.
