As the owner of our pet photography boutique and photography studio 🐾📸, I have a flexible schedule that allows me to dedicate quality time to caring for your pet. Whether it’s a weekday or weekend, I prioritize making sure every pup in my care feels loved and well attended to 💙. My 9-year-old daughter, who is mature and gentle 👧❤️, is often excited to help out and meet new furry friends, adding to the loving, family-like environment. Pet care is truly integrated into our daily life and brings so much joy to both of us 😊. This balance allows me to provide personalized attention, plenty of playtime 🐕🎾, and peaceful rest moments for every dog, while also continuing to grow my photography passion and business.

Safety, trust & environment
Your pets will be treated with the same love and care I gave my own beloved pup 🐕❤️—a love that was abundant and unconditional.

Information David R. would like to know about your pet
Please let me know of any special needs, behaviors, allergies, medications, or routines in advance 📝. This helps me provide your pet with the consistency and care they deserve during their stay. I always recommend sending your pet with familiar bedding, toys, treats, or other comforts from home 🧸🛏️🍖. These familiar items help reduce anxiety during the initial separation and allow your furry friend to settle in more quickly—making them feel comfortable, safe, and happy 🐾😊. If it’s not already mentioned in your pet’s profile, please let me know how they are with children and other animals 👧🐕. This information ensures we are the right fit and helps me determine if exclusive care should be offered during their stay without other animals present.
A typical day
Parks and plenty of walking are a huge part of my day, and I’d love to include your furry loved ones on these adventures 🌳🚶🐕. I’m always up for playtime with their favorite toys 🧸 and will do my best to help them burn off as much energy as possible while having fun! I also understand the calm, gentle, and conscious care needed for elderly pets to make sure they’re comfortable and relaxed 🧡🐾. If you communicate your dog’s personality and needs clearly, I’m happy to tailor their day to prioritize their happiness and well-being—it’s my goal to make every pup feel loved and content.

Pet care experience
I’m David, a dedicated Pet Pawtrait Photographer 🐾📸 and the owner of Charlie’s Pet Pawtraits & Boutique in the Lehigh Valley, PA. Caring for dogs isn’t just a job for me—it’s a heartfelt passion inspired by my beloved pup Charlie, who was with me for over 11 wonderful years. Losing him was tough, but it left me with an abundance of love 💙 I’m eager to share with other dogs through both personalized care and capturing their spirit through photography. I offer a boutique, home-like dog care environment 🏡 where I never take in more than 1–3 dogs at a time, ensuring your dog receives plenty of one-on-one attention, playtime in our spacious indoor gallery, and adventures on the nearby D&L Trail as well as numerous local parks 🚶🌳🐕. Your dog’s comfort, happiness, and peace of mind are my top priorities—I treat every pup as if they were my own family. I’m also a proud dad to a mature 9-year-old who lovingly helps me care for dogs, adding to the warm and nurturing atmosphere 👧❤️. Whether your dog is a playful puppy, a calm senior, or anywhere in between, I’m patient and adaptable to their needs. As a special thank you for choosing my care, I’ll send you beautiful photos of your dog enjoying their stay—and if you’d like, high-quality non-watermarked downloads of these photos are available upon request 🎁✨. This way, you get to see just how happy and comfortable your pup is during their time with us! In addition to care, I offer pet portrait sessions either in my studio or at your favorite location—and many pet owners enjoy choosing one of our recommended local spots near the studio for a special outing and photoshoot 🎞️🐶. I’m excited to meet your pup and provide a personalized, loving experience that truly sets us apart from typical kennel-style sitters.
Reviews
Highly recommended! The best with caring for the animal and lots of walks and exercise..
David is very awesome, had a great time with my dog and my dog had a great time with him, plus he is an amazing photographer. The pictures he took and sent to me from his stay are truly beautiful. Thank you for the wonderful memories.
David was the perfect sitter for our German Shepard. He kept us informed and sent pictures everyday. He clearly has a passion for animals and it came through with the care he provided our boy. We’d highly recommend him and will absolutely rebook in the future!
Max had an amazing time — as always. Thanks!
