About Dave
Experience: 3 yrs
I love dogs. My dog Rio would attest to this but alas he can't talk. But if he could, he'd say that I'm attentive and prioritize his comfort and happiness above all else. I ensure a safe, stimulating, and consistent routine, including exercising and socializing. I manage the needs of high-energy breeds with active play and outings, and I maintain a clean and secure environment. I am vigilant in observing for any signs of distress or health changes, and have emergency contact information readily available. I also love cats. I have owned special needs cats and have grown to be equally comfortable snuggling and playing with cats as I am giving them imthe special attention that they need.
Most recent review
I can’t recommend Dave enough. He has provided amazing care to my pets over the years. As a veterinarian, it’s not easy to trust anybody outside of the medical field to care for my pets that have medical issues however, Dave provides as good of care as any one of the technicians I work with. He has cared for several of my four legged (one three legged😀) babies over the years, including a diabetic cat, an asthmatic cat, and a cat suffering from kidney failure. He also takes care for my exuberant pup that requires a lot of exercise and a watchful eye such he has severe food allergies. I’m relaxed and comforted knowing that when Im out of town that my babies are being cared for by someone that cares about them as much as I do. Also important to note, he notices when medical issues arise, and he acts promptly by getting them the medical treatment that they need.
