Caring & Knowledgeable Dog Lover
Pet care experience
I am a UC Davis graduate and lifelong dog lover back living in Davis. I have worked with dogs professionally for years, but I have tons of dog experience from managing a doggy daycare and overnight boarding facility in the San Fransisco bay area. We cared for over 100 dogs per day of all breeds and ages, from Chihuahuas to Great Danes. My position required me to research and study dog behavior, positive reinforcement training (R+), and proper health & safety procedures. Rover allows me to pursue my passion and spend more individual time with each dog I work with. I only work with dogs from one family at a time during a walk or visit. I have worked with many dog owners and learned what is important when seeking a dog sitter. My own pack contains two rescue dogs with special needs, so I know the piece of mind that comes with finding a pet sitter you can trust.
Reviews
Todd was over and above the most caring pet sitter for our old and medically needy dog. He gave detailed updates and spent his time giving his attention to our old guy in the most loving way. We will use him again when the need arises.
Todd is a great person to care for one’s dog. He is trustworthy, experienced, and empathetic with our happy dog’s perceptions of the world around. This has proved to be more important than I expected, since we have just learned that our dog’s poor vision is worsening. Todd is always on time. He offers help in the difficult and unpleasant part of caring for our dog. We hope that Rambi and Todd this will have a long dog walking relationship.
Todd is very dedicated, focused and thorough. He appears to be experienced with all kinds of dogs. He has taken our black lab on walks for a few weeks now. He is quick to respond, flexible in case of reschedules and checks back in often with both feedback and questions if any. My dog came back happy and well worked out. I would highly recommend him for your pet.
Easy booking, happy dog, perfect service! Was in communication to update me on the weather change and how Coraline (my dog) was with the surprise rain.

Most of our questions for each other will be answered during our initial free Meet & Greet. Feel free to send me your first booking request with the dates you are interested in, and I will respond with a request to schedule a free Meet & Greet. No payments are actually made until after the Meet & Greet and you decide you do want to proceed with the booking. During this time, I will ask more detailed questions, such as potential food allergies or behavior quirks. I will also want to know your dog's favorite activities and makes them happy. If there is any training you would like me to help work on, feel free to let me know. For drop in visits, any feeding and medication instructions if they apply. The Meet & Greet also gives your dog a chance to get comfortable before a first visit.
A typical day
A visit can be very flexible. From meals and medications to getting some attention and exercise, let me know what is important and I will get it done. I have the stamina for high energy breeds, but I am fine to relax with shy or older dogs. Once any assigned tasks are complete, I will use the rest of the visit to be an engaging companion for the animals in your home. A popular activity for many dogs is a walk in the local greenbelts. No matter your dog's personality, I am there for them to be a fun and engaging companion. My goal is for them to be as happy and relaxed as possible when it comes time for the visit to end.
