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.

Information David R. would like to know about your pet

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! ?

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.

Pet care experience

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!

This was our first time leaving our pup for an extended period of time. We were a little apprehensive at first, but David was very communicative, sending us pics and videos each day. When we came back our dog was happier that when we left him. Highly recommend David.

David was wonderful when watching our Rosie Pickles! She is a little skittish around new people, but he clearly has a lot of experience around dogs and made her feel comfortable so quickly. He sent photos and videos each day and it looked like she was having a blast. I missed her but didn’t worry about her wellbeing for one moment during our vacation. We will definitely be using David again in the future! Thank you!
