Pet care experience

🐕 best friend

I have taken care of dogs for about 10 years. Dogs teach us patience, compassion, and love like no other creature. I'm currently working from home so I have all the time to hang with the puppies. Every dog is unique which makes caring of them an adventure in a way. I am big on outdoors so we would probably go to a nearby park, beach, adventures and then relax in my back yard. Majority of dogs I have taken care of love to be active in some type of way. Dogs are very curious and smart. Whatever I do from running to going to a quick walk I always love to do with a puppy. Dogs are great companions and love walks! I have a fenced yard where dogs hang and I also have my whole house for dogs to roam free most of the time with me. Most dogs I have taken care of love to be active and those who are not can watch me exercise so it's always a win! I take care of every dog by providing supervision almost all the time and when alone I always make sure everything is good to go!

David took great care of our puppy! He sent frequent pictures of Butters, which gave us peace of mind that our little furry baby was in great hands. Butters didn’t even want to leave when we came to pick him up! We will definitely have David dog sit Butters again in the future :)

David R. Was absolutely terrific! This was his first time walking Lulu, and she was so comfortable with him from the beginning! He has a natural affinity for dogs…..it’s so apparent that he loves his profession. Lulu and myself are looking forward to many more walks with David R! I cannot thank him enough for his patience and care for my sweet girl.

David provided Cooper with lots of outdoor time and sent us daily pictures, which we appreciated! He even put out a wading pool when it got hot for the dogs. He keeps several dogs at once, so it’s a good place for social pups. Cooper came home tired from his stay!

Safety, trust & environment

I care for pets with lots of play time and just getting to know them. Dogs are very good at playing non stop! I also take care of older dogs just in case they don't want all the play! Dogs are family.

A typical day

I love outdoors so a walk by a park for sure. I love to run and do sports so if a dog is energetic that is my type of friend.

Any allergies worth mentioning. Diets if any, and anything I should know about the puppy! I do feed every puppy alone just that they don't feel the eye of other dogs! ?
