Pet care experience

I’ve loved caring for dogs since I was 10 and my family adopted a sickly puppy. Since then I have spent years learning about and tending to pooches, teachings pups tricks, and shepherding a flock of goats. I am currently an online student with a flexible schedule and former marathon runner so I am confident I will be able to keep up your needs and even the most athletic pooches.

My dog loves to run. David willingly runs with him, even though it may be for nearly an hour. Incredible!

David worked with me and my dog Jack, who is a 14 month old Cairn terrier mix and very energetic, on learning basic training techniques and commands. Over a short period of time, based on David’s methods, we made great progress! I was pleased with David’s positive, caring manner with Jack and his patience with both of us. We have a great time during our training sessions! I would highly recommend him for your dog training needs.

My dog was nervous first time meeting David. He was very patient with my dog and spent good time bonding. Will book again soon!

Safety, trust & environment

I live in walking distance of a large park qnd South Beach which offer lots of oppurtunties to run and play, socialize with other dogs, or have a nice quiet stroll. Whether we sprint in fields or chill in the shade, the experience is totally up you and your dog. Either way I will provide plenty of water breaks and as many updates as you’d like.

Information David R. would like to know about your pet

I'm curious about your dogs preferences and usual energy level so I can give them their ideal experience. For example I would plan different routes if your dog is a lone wolf or if they prefer to socialize.

A typical day

I love exploring nearby parks and am happy giving dogs a chance to sniff to their hearts content. I'll be sure to go at your dogs' pace, bring a bowl just for them, and plenty of water.

Availability

I offer walks before your commute so you and your dog can rest easy during your workday. I got into the habit of waking up early because I have found that morning exercise helps energetic pups and pooches (and goats) feel content throughout the day.
