I love and care for all animals!

Pet care experience

I am a retired high school teacher and have loved and had dogs all of my life as well as a variety of other animals. My 16 year old little man passed away May 2019 and this is the first time my house is empty since 2000. I will treat and love your fur babies like they were my own. I have prepared custom meals, walked dogs regularly for good exercise, created and managed medication and feeding schedules, kept up with their vet care, promoted a social life by introducing them to people and other dogs, groomed and bathed them, and provided and shared living space catered to their needs because they were part of my family! Your dog will be safe and comfortable in my care!

David went above and beyond while caring for Wookie. He treated her as if she was his very own and spoiled her with love and care. I would recommend him to anyone looking for a place for your pet to feel like they are home away from home.

The reviews below are spot on. I found myself back on Rover after my usual dog sitter is retiring and scaling back on her availability. I never thought I’d find someone I felt as comfortable leaving my Sandy girl with, but David proved me wrong! He’s attentive, caring, and truly treated her like his own. She was the calmest and happiest I’ve ever seen her when returning from a trip. Thank you, David!

Information J David L. would like to know about your pet

I would like to know that your sweet boy/girl is friendly with people and other dogs and cats (during some holidays and during the summer my daughter will have her cat here, although most of the time there are no other animals here) and not afraid of men. I would like your furry friend to be potty trained with no accidents. I don't have any breed preferences.

A typical day

If your dog is at my home I am offering one on one attention (will only watch multiple dogs if they are from the same family), so I will be able to focus on your dog's needs. I have a great neighborhood to walk around, a nice backyard and a local school yard to run in. I used to love to take my four legged boys to the park, so I am willing to take your furry friend to the park! We can play fetch or anything else your dog enjoys. There may be times when my calendar says that I am unavailable, but it might be because my daughter is here with her cat and if your dog gets along with cats that might be able to work. If you look at all of my services on those dates, you will see that I am still probably available to walk your dog or go over to your house to stay or check on your dog. Please feel free to contact me!
