Dog's Best Friend

Pet care experience

If you ask my dog Boomer about me, I'm certain he'll have nothing but good things to say. We've been best friends and roommates for more than seven years now, and he's the best companion I could ask for. In addition to Boomer, I've also watched over senior dogs. Not too long ago, I did a bit of dog walking for a couple who was out of town and needed their two dogs walked twice a day. In addition, I dog sit my sister's Beagle Basset Hound mix regularly. She can be a handful, but she's a sweet dog and I love spending time with her. My experience with dogs isn't measured by years but rather by the different types of dogs I've cared for. I've watched over dogs with arthritis and have taken care of dogs with anxiety. My dog gets seizures from time to time as well, but even with his health issue, I wouldn't trade him for any other dog. It's worth pointing out that I'm a freelance writer and work from home (as well as several coffee shops) and can take my work with me anywhere I go. So short notice calls or emergency dog sitting and walking sessions in a pinch are not a problem. I'm a freelance writer, so I have a very flexible schedule. I'll be glad to make the necessary time to provide care for your pooch! I have a fun-loving beagle who likes to chill indoors. Though I have a backyard for him to sniff around in, he's definitely an indoor doggo.

David was amazing walkimg Mylo! David was always on time and very communicative. It's clear David loves dogs and I'd recommend booking David when looking for a trusted person to watch over your dogs :)

Very punctual and communicative before/after his walks with Henney. I would strongly recommend him for everyone. He is by far one of the best.

As always, David is a fantastic sitter for Louie and we are lucky to have him available! Couldn’t ask for anyone better!

Information David S. would like to know about your pet

I'm certain I'll get to know your dog very well during my time with him or her. If, however, there's any other necessary info -- whether treats are allowed, any fears or nervous triggers, if they get along well with other dogs -- please let me know beforehand so that I'm well aware.

A typical day

Spending time with dogs is a great deal of fun for me. I also enjoy engaging in all manner of dog-related activities, so if I'm sitting your precious fur-pal who loves to go on walks, you can expect two (or more, if necessary) lengthy walks around the neighborhood per day. If he or she has any toys, we'll have a few play sessions, as well. And if the little critter loves going to parks to play, we'll totally do that, too!
