Pet care experience

This Baldy Loves Furries!

Growing up, my family was big into Labrador Retrievers and similar. Thus far, I've opted to not own pets in my adulthood for lifestyle flexibility. But I never turn down an opportunity to dote on or watch my family and friend's furry ones. Most of my experience is with dogs (anything from a toy poodle to pit bulls) but there's been the occasional feline. And I've tended to quite the spectrum of traits: young to old, docile to headstrong, easy going to special needs (e.g. anxiety, diet restrictions, oral medication).

David is like a mobile vet he looked out for my pup’s poop health so we could schedule an appointment with our vet, so appreciated!

We had a great experience with David! He stayed with Dunkin for five nights while we were away, and it gave us so much peace of mind knowing Dunkin was being well cared for in our home. He followed all of Dunkin’s care instructions, kept us updated, and made sure Dunkin got plenty of attention and companionship. Dunkin is a big part of our family, so having someone we could trust with him and our home was incredibly important to us. We came home to a happy, well-cared-for Dunkin and everything in great shape. We really appreciate the care he provided and would absolutely recommend him to anyone looking for a reliable and caring dog sitter. We would definitely use him again!

David took super good care of Millie and my home! It was clear how much he cared for her like it was his own!

David goes above and beyond everytime we book with him! Super communicative, let’s me know his schedule as a heads up, brought in packages from the porch- just the kind of guy you’d want looking after your pet and your home!

As already noted I’m pretty easy going and will accommodate any rules, treatment or activity that makes you and your pet feel comfortable. And if I feel I uncomfortable I’ll be sure to advise.
