Patient and trustworthy pet care
Pet care experience
I've spent my life around dogs, growing up with English Bulldogs, French Bulldogs, Viszlas, and an English Springer Spaniel. I've loved them all, and have learned that a good dog is one that gets love and is encouraged to behave well. So, my goal is to always give dogs the love they deserve. In addition to my experience with dogs at home, I also volunteered with the San Diego Humane Society for seven years and learned much about caring for dogs there. In my role as an Adoption Counselor Assistant, I socialized with dogs in their rooms, spoke to prospective adopters about each dog's history, and took the dogs out for walks. To prepare for this role, I received training for dog handling from experts in the field. With me as your dog walker and/or sitter, you'll be getting an experienced dog handler and someone who is passionate about your dog's happiness!
Reviews
Dave was absolutely awesome. He not only took care of our dog but made us feel at ease the entire day we were away. Our dog really seemed to warm up to him quickly and we felt very comfortable trusting Dave in our home while we were away. This was an A++ experience. Thanks again Dave!
David is such a great sitter. He’s awesome with the dogs and keeps me updated with how they’re doing. I highly recommend him!
David did a wonderful job taking care of my dogs Apollo and Charlie. Apollo just had ear surgery and had to be given medicine (and wear the Cone of Shame - poor guy), and David did a great job making sure he was comfortable and keeping up with the medication. He also updated me regularly with pictures and comments. I highly recommend David to any dog parent!
David's third stay with Lucca in two months.... Same as the other two... Great experience... Highly recommended....

A typical day
I'm very active and enjoying running and biking, so I will be keeping your dog active with me. I love taking dogs to parks or beaches, such as Trolley Barn Park, the Grape Street agility course in South Park, Balboa Park Dog Park, and anywhere I go hiking, just to name a few. I'm also an expert at throwing balls and frisbees for fetch, but I try to tailor the activity to the energy level of the dog.
