About David R.

Safety, trust & environment
I have a 600 sq/ft., one bedroom apartment with a fully enclosed and secured outdoor area that is approximately 250 square feet. I use the outdoor area primarily for short term potty breaks, but generally take larger dogs on walks rather than having them go in the outdoor area, to keep this area clean and sanitary.
Home
Information David R. would like to know about your pet
Is your dog socialized with dogs, people, kids, etc.? Does you dog have experience being cared for by others? Does you dog have anxiety reaction to being left alone or without you? Will you dog run away if off leash and given the chance to do so? Are there any unusual behaviors your dog has exhibited that you think I should know about?
A typical day
Activities include walks in the area around my home which is one block away from the beach in Carlsbad. This is a safe area to walk dogs and there are a lot of dogs and people to interact with.

Pet care experience
I have extensive experience with many breeds and special needs dogs. I adopted and raised Paco, a Dutch Shepherd mix dog who passed away at 14 years old in Feb./2025. I nursed and managed him through 2 ACL surgeries since 2020. I also had a Maltese poodle mix, Bella, who has had both eyes removed due to glaucoma. She lived with Paco for six years and passed away at 15 years old in Oct. 2024. I currently live with Zeus, a mixed breed Dutch Shepherd who I adopted in May 2025. He is 4 years old and is very well socialized with people and other dogs. My residence and boarding location is Carlsbad (Garfield St). I have provided services at the Fairmont Grand Del Mar, the Rancho Valencia Resort & Spa, L'Auberge Del Mar, La Valencia Hotel (La Jolla), Estancia La Jolla Hotel & Spa, and the Lodge at Torrey Pines in La Jolla. Rates: $120 minimum per night UC Irvine MBA / Retired Operations VP
Reviews
David R is one of the most loving pet dads and dedicated petsitters that I have ever met! He has cared for our cats and dogs on multiple occasions for many years. David is very attentive, responsible and caring. Our pets love him! He stays in close contact with us when we are away for an extended period. David does a great job of following our directions. Our pets are spoiled and we are picky about who cares for them. I would HIGHLY recommend David to care for your pets. Our large breed dogs are very attached to him.
