Pet care experience
Please note, dogs up to 60lbs are welcome. Rover only allows a range selection, so after the 40lb max option it jumps to 100lb max. I'm happy to look after dogs up to 60lbs. I've been the go-to guy to look after friends' dogs for many years. Now I'm semi-retired, own a home, and looking to welcome your dog into this quiet Oakland Hills neighborhood. There's a sunny deck, an acre of backyard (unfenced, it's a greenway), spacious rooms, and Knowland Park. It's a vibrant household, as I also welcome guests through Airbnb, a guest with a dog gave me the idea to host. A people-liking dog would feel right at home here. Because of the dynamic nature of the house, people coming and going, a mellow, healthy dog is the best fit. I can't host a barker, as guests often are on various sleep schedules (traveling nurses with different shifts). For sitting at your house, there's also checking your mail, taking in packages, essentially taking care of the house as well as your dog. Additional references available.
Reviews
Ollie didn't seem that happy to see us so I think she had a great time with David. We will definitely use David again.
My dog, Yogi, has been living a dog's dream the past few months I have been renting from Dave. While I am at work, Dave will send me pictures of Yogi watching the wild life from his large deck overlooking the hills of Oakland and basking in the sun. Dave spends time playing with him, making sure he is safe, and all his needs are met. There is nothing more comforting than having someone who truly enjoys the company of dogs watch over your pup when you're away. The area around Dave's house is ideal for nature walks and hikes for dogs and humans alike to enjoy and I am extremely fortunate to have found such a great living environment while I am working in this area. I would definitely recommend him as a responsible and caring dog-sitter!
David is awesome! He took excellent care of our dog Pizza while we were away on vacation, walking him a few times every day and giving him lots of love and attention. Our dog left with a smile on his face!
I was a little concern about leaving my 9-year old golden retriever in care for 2 weeks. She experiences separation anxiety so it was a relief to see how comfortable she was with David. Thanks a lot, Dave.
About David W.
Communication
Skills
Information David W. would like to know about your pet
As mentioned, your dog needs to be a friendly, people-dog. Shy, nervous or aggressive/territorial dogs would be a very bad fit. Also, as there are many dog-walkers in the area, your dog would need to get along with other dogs as well.
A typical day
Walks through the neighborhood, walks through Knowland Park. Depending on your dog's temperament, accompanying me around the yard (note, there are deer frequently in the area, so please let me know if your dog is a chaser or observer!).
