Boarding dogs fits perfectly into my lifestyle. I work from home, so I’m around throughout the day to give your pup plenty of attention, care, and companionship. During the week, I typically only step out to hit the gym, pick up my kids from school, or head out for the occasional dinner—otherwise, I’m a bit of a homebody, which works out great for dogs who love having someone nearby. My kids are dog-friendly and have grown up around pets, so your pup will be surrounded by gentle, loving energy throughout their stay. My calm, consistent routine creates a stable and low-stress environment where your dog can feel right at home.

Safety, trust & environment
When dogs stay in my home, they become part of the family. I provide a calm, loving, and structured environment where your pup can feel safe, comfortable, and cared for. I take the time to learn about their unique routines, preferences, and personality so I can make their stay feel as close to home as possible. I’m home most of the day, so your dog will get plenty of attention, companionship, and outdoor time. From timely meals and potty breaks to playtime, walks, and quiet snuggles, I make sure their physical and emotional needs are always met. My kids are dog-friendly and bring an extra dose of love and gentle energy to the home. Whether your dog is active and playful or more laid-back and cuddly, I’m committed to creating a warm, safe, and happy space where they can thrive while you’re away.

Information David S. would like to know about your pet
To provide the best care possible, it’s really helpful to know about any behavioral nuances your dog may have—especially how they interact with children, other dogs, or new environments. If there are specific triggers, anxieties, or situations that make them uncomfortable, please share those with me. This helps me create a safe, low-stress environment tailored to your dog’s needs and ensures I can respond calmly and appropriately in any situation—for their well-being and the safety of others. The more I know, the better I can make their stay feel just like home.
A typical day
Your dog will enjoy plenty of fun and enriching activities during their stay! I love going on walks, and I live in a quiet, dog-friendly neighborhood with lots of interesting smells and safe walking paths—perfect for curious noses and daily exploration. There’s also a spacious, rarely crowded dog park nearby where we can play fetch, run around, or just enjoy some off-leash time (with your approval). Whether your pup loves to chase a ball, play with toys, or simply soak up the sun, I make sure they get the physical activity and mental stimulation they need to stay happy and healthy. Every dog is different, and I’ll tailor activities to match your pup’s energy level, play style, and comfort.

Love Dogs and happy to care 4 yours
Pet care experience
Hi, I’m a lifelong dog lover with years of hands-on experience caring for a wide range of breeds from energetic Goldendoodles and playful Terriers to strong, loyal Rottweilers and affectionate Pit Bulls. I’ve had the joy of parenting dogs of all sizes and personalities, and I understand that every pup has their own unique needs. I pride myself on providing consistent care, reinforcing positive training techniques, and always honoring the routines and expectations you have in place. Whether it’s timely potty breaks, one-on-one attention, or just plenty of love and belly rubs, I’m here to make sure your dog feels safe, happy, and right at home. I live an active lifestyle, so your dog will enjoy plenty of outdoor time, whether it’s neighborhood walks, playtime in the yard, or just soaking up some fresh air together. I treat every dog I care for as if they were my own, because they deserve nothing less.
Reviews
Our two dogs will be back at David's place!
Highly recommend David if you are looking for someone to watch your dog! He was very responsive and took great care of my dog Toast.
David made it easy to feel that my dog would be well cared for and spoiled with attention while we were gone for a week. Even the quick meet up to see how he and Kiara would do. After that I felt comfortable as she did. Got lots of pictures and updates when service allowed. Would trust him with my girl anytime again.
David provided exceptional care to our two Chihuahua mixes. We appreciate the time he took to figure their habits out, make them feel right at home, and respond promptly to every message.
