David took great care of my dog and sent video and picture updates. Easy and flexible drop off and pick ups. 10/10 will book again!

David came through clutch when I was in a pinch. He was very kind and flexible with pick up hours. He really made me feel at ease when I was stressed. If I find myself in need again, he will be the first person I contact. Thanks David, you’re the bomb. Go Bucks!

We didn’t know how our 4yr old recent rescue dog would do at the sitters house, but when I shared some concerns David said he had a lot of experience and he was not concerned about taking in our pup. Kodi did great at his house and played well with his dogs. We will definitely use David again!

Schedule

I have three dogs that I play with daily, walk daily, and work on their training as well. Just like I do for my clients, I make sure I build their care directly into my daily and weekly schedules. Our furry friends like structure as much as we do!

Safety, trust & environment

I have a huge backyard, and I believe in plenty of playtime. I live by the beach, so there are plenty of beach walks and opportunities to foster mental and physical stimulation - if there are plenty of potty breaks and water and treats

Pets

A typical day

My primary focus is to make sure your pup is mentally and physically stimulated, so we’ll go on walks appropriate to the breed and age so they can smell new things and satisfy their need to explore. We’ll work on agility training to strengthen their focus and physical skills. And, of course, lots of positive reinforcement.
