Information David R. would like to know about your pet

Let me know what they like to do! I'm happy to switch things up for them, or just follow routine. Also let me know if they'd like treats or are fine without.

A typical day

I love to have fun, so we'll go to the park in my neighborhood or maybe adventure to another one. At home there's always time to test our tug of war skills.

Pet care experience

I grew up with cats, and last year started watching dogs. I love going on walks and eating snacks! Maybe that is why they like me.

David was so great with my little Westie! He was really caring and attentive to him and went above and beyond. It was so reassuring to be out of town and know my dog is being so well looked after. l got multiple updates and photos from David over the four days that my dog was with him. He took my little boy on 3 walks a day, a trip to the beach and the dog park. Thank you so much for caring for him and showing him a great little time :)

I’ve known David for a long time and can confidently say he’s one of the biggest dog lovers I know. Dogs instantly gravitate toward him because he’s calm, kind, and genuinely enjoys being around them. He’s reliable, attentive, and takes caring for animals seriously. Any dog in his care will be safe, happy, and well looked after.
