Loves your dog as much as you do!
Pet care experience
Hi! I'm David - proud dog dad to a 5 year old rescue, Anna. I have been walking dogs and pet sitting for 3 years now, and parenting one for 2. My brother is a vet tech locally, and I have spent a significant amount of time fostering and caring for pups of all shapes and sizes. I have experience with dogs that are not so good with other dogs, and can absolutely handle whatever your pup throws at me. When it comes to taking care of your furry child, I am loving and diligent. My main priority is your dog's comfort level - I want them to feel comfortable and loved while you are away. Every dog is different, and I embrace that. Your pup is part of the family, and he or she will be treated as such. You tell me what your dog likes, and we will do just that. It will be like you were never gone!
Reviews
David was great with our pup. Daily check ins while we were away for a few nights and we came home to a very happy pup. If we are back in the DC area we will definitely book with David again!
David took great care of our new puppy (and was game to take care of our beardie as well!) while we were gone for two days. He was great with her, and she was clearly very happy with him!
Davis is dependable, trustworthy, and very responsive. He has had a huge impact on our puppy and made our lives 100x easier. Don’t know what we would do without him!
Greatly appreciate David taking care of my girls! He was very attentive to details and sent lots of updates during the stay!

Skills
Information David S. would like to know about your pet
I would love to meet your dog prior to sitting him or her. An introduction gives both you and I a good opportunity to make sure this is the perfect fit. I can come by, meet your pup and introduce myself - I find that always starts things off on the right foot. Other important information for me to know: situations your dog does and doesn't deal well with, activities he or she enjoys, and any general preferences.
A typical day
Anna and I go on long walks in the woods, spend hours playing fetch, and my girlfriend and I generally cater to her every need (she is absolutely spoiled rotten). When it comes to your pup, I am happy to go wherever your dog feels most comfortable. My main priority is that your dog feels no break in his or her daily routine. We can go on long or short walks, visit places where your dog is happy, or just play in the backyard! If you decide to work with me for your dog-walking and pet sitting needs, I will make sure you are kept up to date with all the exciting things we did while you were gone.
