A Dog's Best Friend!

Pet care experience

I have cared for many types of dogs, small, medium, and large, for over 20 years. I believe dogs need to be social, active, and allowed to live as though they are the most important being in one's household.

We had an amazing experience with David! He took excellent care of Molly, and we felt completely at ease while we were away. He was kind, reliable, and attentive. We highly recommend him and would definitely book with him again! 🐶⭐

David took great care of our two dogs. Before we left we noticed in of our dogs had chewed his paw raw and we were not able to get him to the vet before we left. David monitored his paw and changed his sock so he wouldn’t chew it and protected it. David provided updates and pictures during our time away. The dogs were much happier than going to a kennel. We are very pleased and definitely will be using David again.

Our dogs had the best time with David and his family! They enjoyed early morning walks and plenty of activity, which I know they loved. David sent daily photo updates that gave us peace of mind while we were away. We would absolutely book with him again for future vacations—as long as he's willing to take our two dogs back after all the fun they had!

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.
