Highlights
Pet care experience
Big Yard, Built-In Playmates
I’ve had dogs my whole life and genuinely love being around them. Most of my experience is with larger breeds, but I’ve also cared for small dogs and understand their different needs. Dogs tend to warm up to me quickly, and I make sure they feel comfortable, safe, and well cared for while you’re away.
Qualifications
Ratings and reviews
If you are looking for someone who treats your pets like family, David is the person. He has looked after my dogs for years, providing much more than just the basics. My Rottweiler, Rocky, was my shadow and notoriously difficult for others to bond with. It was a testament to David’s kind heart that he won Rocky over so quickly. Seeing the time and dedication he gives to the animals in his care is amazing. He is a rare find!

Schedule
I work from home most of the week, so your dog will have lots of company and care throughout the day. We'll take regular breaks for walks and playtime, and my big yard gives them plenty of space to run around and burn off energy.
Where your pet will stay
Home characteristics
Safety, trust & environment
I understand how important it is to trust someone with your dog. My home is a safe, welcoming space where dogs are treated like family. With a large, fully fenced yard and lots of supervision, I make sure every pup feels comfortable, relaxed, and well cared for.
Pets
A typical day
I make sure every pet gets plenty of exercise, playtime, and attention based on their personality and energy level. We’ll go on regular walks, spend time playing outside in my yard, and enjoy interactive games to keep them mentally stimulated. Since I work from home, I’m able to give them lots of companionship throughout the day, including play breaks, cuddle time, and supervision so they’re never left feeling lonely. I always adjust activities to what each dog enjoys most, whether that’s being active or just relaxing together.

- I like to learn as much as I can about each pet before their stay so I can provide the best care possible. It’s helpful to know their daily routine, energy level, temperament, and any special needs or medical conditions. I also like to understand their behavior around other dogs or people, any triggers or anxieties, and what they enjoy most (toys, activities, etc.). Feeding schedules, potty habits, and any training commands or house rules are also important so I can keep things consistent and comfortable for them.
