The Care Worth Wagging About!
My family has always had a dog(s) and cat! I have had a dog since the day I was born and a cat since the age of 8. Since the age of 13, relatives, and friends would always know that if they had anywhere to travel, their fur baby was always well cared for when left in my care. Now living in Mew York City since 2019, friends and family know that I will not only come to their place to walk as well as look after their pets while away or if they cannot make it home in time, I’ll happily have their pets come to my home if they need to! I have cared for many breeds such as Australian Shepards, Australian Cattle, Norwegian Elk Hounds, Retrievers, Labs, Huskies, Doodles, German Shepards, Chihuahuas, Pit Bulls, doberman pinchers, and many more. With owners approval I am more than happy to include a trip to the dog park while on a walk, as well as do send photo and video updates of your fur baby while you’re at work or away! I am more than happy to aid in training, grooming, and various health care needs that your fur baby may need! My “WagBag” always has two small bowls, 2 water bottles, 1 frozen water bottle, a bag of treats, two rolls of “potty bags”, a first aid kit, disinfectant wipes, umbrella, towel and hand/paw towel, and a rechargeable battery pack, My most recent dog of my own was a Miniature Golden Doodle and got Aurora when she was 8 weeks old, and had her leash and house trained with in the first few weeks of being home. Her calm and social personality was great with kids, other dogs, cats and all who came to hang out with us. My former students said that she was incredibly sweet for letting us use her treats for a zoom fraction lesson!

Safety, trust & environment
Within my pet friendly building, there are private terraces open for outdoor training needs, I also within my apartment have space for crates as needed and space to ensure your fur baby has activity space as well as have their own cozy corner so they are at ease and can have their safe zone as needed!
Ratings and reviews
The first day of visits went smoothly and David was very communicative. However, David missed the morning visit the following day and did not message me or provide a reason why. I reached out to David and did not hear back. Unfortunately I had to cancel the remainder of the booking with David and find an alternate sitter for my pet.
We were able to book David last minute. He did a great job in walking our pup (in this frigid weather, too) and provided detailed notes & pictures.
David has no showed / ghosted me twice now. I understand things come up, but I need to be kept in the loop so I can find alternate care for my dog, Pancake. He has now been home alone all day from 8am-7pm with no opportunity to go out. Will not be using again
David was great, communicative and honest. I recommend
Grateful that David was able to walk and check on our foster dog semi-last minute! Always a pleasure
David helped us out with our foster dog, Storm super last minute! He was friendly and communicative, will definitely book with him for future walks :)

Schedule
I am currently wide open and extremely flexible with scheduling. Due to a medical leave of absence, I stepped out of the classroom and am ready with an open schedule!
