No Dog Too BIG, No Dog Too SMALL

Pet care experience

Hi, my name is David, I am in my 40's and live in Arvada, CO ,( recently moved to Ruskin,/Sun City Center, FL) but have lived in several states (Midwest, east coast, southern states, the and the Northwest)I am the fun uncle for dogs. I have walked/ volunteered at several animal shelters. I grew up with Basenjis, mutts, and cats. I have had dogs my entire life outside of my time in the Navy(4 years). My current fur child is a young staffy, Georgia, adopted from Hobbes, NM and a 10 year old cat named Krishna. My last baby was a Hurricane Katrina survivor, Thibadeux, that passed I'm March of 2018 at about 13 years old. I do work full-time at another job, but am available nights after six pm and usually all day Thursday and Sunday. I love meeting and walking good dogs

David is the surrogate dog dad you want for your pets when you can't be there. He's fun, he's patient, he's kind and he's super gentle with pooches that need a little extra time or love. He often watched my dogs while I was out of the country and they had more fun with him than with me. He would take them hiking, play ball for hours and even sometimes carry my 65 lb elderly lab if he got too tired so he didn't have to miss out on the fun. David could also handle all of their meds and treatments which, trust me, could be a lot as one of my dogs had a chronic medical condition and was aging. David was also awesome about sending me updates and keeping me in the loop with them. I honestly cannot recommend him strongly enough.

David has a real passion for doggers! And no breed discrimination here-David dutifully and lovingly cared for our aging pibble-helping both with medications and allowing her the extra grace she needed during that difficult time. Our girl absolutely adored him, too. I highly recommend David to walk or sit or care for any size or breed of dog! You won’t be disappointed!
