Winter Haven Runner & Nurse

I'm a Registered Nurse dog walking part-time, and have cared for dogs my whole life. I dog walked when I was younger and am returning to the role because of how much I missed it! Since my schedule at my full time job is the same every week, I can carve out time for your pup in the evenings once it gets a bit cooler, or the weekend anytime. 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 married with two daughters. We also have two dogs: a standard poodle named Gypsy and a 11 year old chinese crested named Louie. I'm very passionate about animals and would take the up-most care of your dog. I would love to walk, play, and care for your dog!

Safety, trust & environment

Each dog is different and I would love to get to know them to figure out their individual needs. I’ve worked with special needs dogs, elderly dogs, and puppies.

Merlin had a great time with David-he was a conscientious and caring dog sitter. Highly recommended!

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.

David is very professional and my dogs are always excited to see him. My smallest dog is quite anxious around others but enjoys David's company. And my puppy is always tired out after a good run with him. Would definitely recommend if your puppy is hyper and needs some one on one time to get rid of some of that energy!

If I'm caring for your dog, I'd like to know beforehand if they are aggressive or have anxiety around new people. 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!
Each sitter joining Rover needs to pass a background check. And by booking on Rover, you can get photo & message updates, 24/7 support, and reimbursement for eligible vet care.
