This Baldy Loves Furries!

Pet care experience

Growing up, my family was big into Labrador Retrievers and similar. That cemented my love for dogs that desire a good walk, fetch, or wrestle. And I'll never turn down a snuggle. Thus far, I've opted to not own pets in my adulthood for lifestyle flexible. 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 was super awesome from start to finish regarding dog walking skills for helping reinforce not pulling on the leash. We are definitely looking forward to continuing to book with him on a consistent basis!

Our 5 pound senior dog is on four medications, has a delicate stomach and thrives on a consistent routine so we’re very selective about who we trust to look after her. Thanks to David, we’re able to travel again with complete peace of mind. Kyuu absolutely lights up every time she sees him, which tells me everything I need to know. She may be tiny and getting older, but she has a huge personality and always thinks she’s bigger than she is. David strikes the perfect balance of letting her enjoy her little adventures while keeping her safe, comfortable and on track with her tight schedule. It’s obvious that David genuinely cares about the dogs he watches. He pays attention to the little details, is incredibly patient and treats her like she’s his own. I never have to worry when she’s with him and that kind of trust is had won. I couldn’t recommend him more highly.

Absolutely fantastic! Will be using his service again. Both of our dogs adored David, and we felt completely relaxed and confident while we were away. He is not only reliable and great at communicating, but also wonderfully caring and kind. We would highly recommend him for both short and long term dog sitting!
