I Love Your Pets like My Own

I have over 19 years of experience. I can help with Pet Walking and Pet Sitting. Over the years I have cared for (and loved .. and certainly have been loved by!) many dogs and cats (and other pets).. I am looking forward to meeting you and your pets. Thank you .. I am excited to care for your pet (s) next! I love and treat your pets as though they are my own. I always like to spend as much time as possible your pets, whether the pets parents are working during the day, or the family is on vacation. Whether you prefer your dog (s) walked and/or playing in the yard-- or just a potty break and quality indoors playtime/hangout time... I'm excited to help; I am also available for overnight visits, if that's something you're interested in for your pets. I enjoy it, and it really bonds me with them (obviously the more time spent with them, the more comfortable the pets are with you). I love cats, too! Fish, you name it.

Pets

Safety, trust & environment

I do not live alone-- so I have always cared for pets in the client's home (or other friends and family) ... I will do whatever the client wants, and stick as close to the routine as possible; Dog walks, and/or playing with dogs inside the house (and in yards), and caring for cats inside the home are perfect. I am more than happy to adapt and do what pet parents ask, and love them as much as possible until they are back in your care.

I felt very comfortable knowing Dave was at home with our pets. He gave frequent updates and responded in a timely manner. Coming home to well cared for pets was the best feeling after being away for so long. Thanks Dave!

David has sat for our dog twice now and he has been excellent each time. He is great about communicating with us and provides wonderful care for our dog. He always makes sure he does all the quirky things our dog needs and is very patient and friendly with him.

Dave stayed at our house for a week with our four dogs and they’re in great shape! Thanks, Dave, for taking such good care of them.

Dave was absolutely great and totally crucial to my happiness during my 2 week vacation. Not only is he punctual, reliable, and communicative, he is an animal lover. He loves the animals and they love him too. I got home to happy and healthy animals which is one of the best gifts I could have received. He consistently sent me photo updates of all my animals. He developed personal relationships with each of my 3 animals and knew their personality traits within a couple days. I will definitely be using him again. I very much recommend using Dave!

Dependable and reliable. So much more relaxed on my trips knowing Dave is taking care of Roadie. He sends updates and pics and takes amazing care of Roadie.

He is great. He does everything. He's very respectful. Our dogs just love him to death. He is one of the best dog sitters that Rover has ever had. I would recommend him 100%

I am new to the area, and looking to continue doing what I've done for 20 + years: My time is very flexible (*especially now just getting started) and prices are flexible. I like to spend as much time as possible with the pets! I am certainly willing to spend a lot of time with them. Excited to become fast friends with your pets!

Please let me know any information helpful to caring for dog or pets. I would do the best I can to care for them, as though their parents are there.
