Pet care experience

Warm loving household for your pet!

My neighborhood requires me to only take care of smaller dogs. Under 35 pounds please (not my choice). I am an Older, kind and extremely responsible gentleman who adores animals. I am semi retired and therefore my schedule is extremely flexible. I will make your pet feel loved. I have been around Pets most of my life. I know how to treat them well. Your pet will be in terrific hands. When you are on a business trip, or away on vacation, you don't want to worry about the care of your precious pet. Let's talk and come up with a plan for what YOU NEED. we can make this work for you so that you do not need to worry about your loving pet!!!!!! Message me

David was the perfect person for Carly! He kept me updated with photos, and was in constant communication. I will for sure be rebooking to have him keep her again. An extremely nice man, and a great place for your dog to stay. It’s nice feeling safety for your dog when you aren’t home. Thanks again David!

Dave did an incredible job watching Arty. Arty had a wonderful time. Without Dave our trip to Martinsburg, West Virginia would not have been possible. Thank you Dave

David was excellent! Took amazing care of my girl and had excellent communication. I loved getting updates and pictures throughout my vacation, it gave me peace of mind! During drop off he asked me thorough questions about Winnie to make sure he understood her needs, definitely will use him again if the need arises!

Safety, trust & environment

I have a fenced in yard that is very safe and secure. But trust me I love to spend time outside with your dog and keep them happy and active.

A typical day

My love to take your dog to my fenced in backyard set up my chair and read while they wander around or I can keep them on a leash and walk them throughout my neighborhood. Whatever you would prefer

0 to 15 lbs
16 to 40 lbs
David can host up to 3 pets per night
I really don't require a lot because I get along with most dogs. Of course I would like to know they're eating habits and frequency as well as their outdoor needs other than that we can figure it out as we go
Each sitter joining Rover needs to pass a background check. And by booking on Rover, you can get photo & message updates, 24/7 support, and reimbursement for eligible vet care.
