Highlights
Pet care experience
Pets are Family
I have had the privilege of caring for my German Shepherd, Rex, for three years, which deepened my passion for working with animals. Over the past 5 years, I have also gained extensive experience through Rover, specializing in dog training, behavioral corrections, and structured care. My expertise includes addressing common challenges such as excessive barking, leash pulling, aggressive tendencies, and uncontrolled anxiety. I work closely with pups and pet parents to ensure continuity in the care and training methods their pets are accustomed to or can develop. I also work with other sitters to learn more about certain situations and how I may better myself as care giver and teacher!
Qualifications
Ratings and reviews
David was great watching Koda for doggy day care. I appreciated him going out of his way to engage with him with walks and training during the 4 days he watched him. Koda was comfortable with him instantly and was excited every time I dropped him off. Also appreciated all of the updates and feedback during the day. Definitely kept me at ease. Will reach out again whenever we’re in need of doggy day care again!
Thank you so much for taking care of Bandit. We have noticed a big difference in obedience after the stay and appreciate all your feedback. Will definitely book again if you’re up for it! :) bandit days hi
I can always trust David for a timely walk 🙏 Thank you for your care of Panda today!
Thank you David for making Argos feel safe and happy during his first long stay away from home. We had peace of mind knowing he is with you during our vacation.
Thank you David for making Argos comfortable at your home! It was great to see him finally spend some time without us and outside our house stress-free.
David took great care of our boy Buster! David provided updates throughout the week including photos. Would highly recommend David!

Home characteristics
Safety, trust & environment
The pets I care for are treated like family. I tailor my approach to meet the unique needs of each dog and their Kahu, ensuring a safe and comfortable environment. Whether working on obedience training, leash manners, or socialization, I prioritize creating a structured yet nurturing setting. All the while keeping you the parent’s schedule in mind and routine so that your pup go about their day in the best way possible!
A typical day
A well-balanced day includes mentally stimulating activities, adventure walks, structured playtime to stimulate them in a good fassion, and training exercises. Rest and relaxation are also essential, with cozy downtime for unwinding after an active day.
