Information David S. would like to know about your pet

Before I meet your pup I would like to know if he has a favorite route or activity. Also please let me know if you want me to enforce any rules or behaviors. For daycare, a meet and greet prior to scheduling is a must. Reach out and let’s set something up!

A typical day

If your pup is up to it I love to play fetch at your local bark park. I generally don’t do this on the first meeting, as I want the dog and I to get used to one another before having off leash time.

It was really nice to enjoy our vacation knowing David was super reliable and our dogs would get their walks everyday - lessened the guilt of leaving them almost completely! Thank you!

David handles our pulling beast of a dog with ease! He’s communicative and punctual, and even our cranky, misbehaved, judgmental canine looks forward to their walks. Highly recommend!

So glad I found David, he was truly amazing with my dog and I will definitely be using his services in the future. The progress pics and daily report card kept my mind at ease so I could finally enjoy a vacation after a decade!

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.
