Pet care experience
My name is David. I love taking care of animals! I grew up with a Lhasa Apso named Milo, and currently have a sweet cat named Cordelia, who I’ve had for the last 14 years. I love caring for pets and have experience caring for my friends and family’s dogs and cats while they are away. I also worked at a doggy day care in the past, a wonderful experience that I’ll always treasure. I’ve been active on Rover for about 5 years now, and have had a great experience watching both cats and dogs. I look forward to caring for your furry friends! I just recently moved to downtown New Haven so I can do drop-ins and pet sitting around there. I work from home so am available during the week and also on most weekends. I also frequently visit the Hartford and Farmington area on weekends.
Reviews
Dave was absolutely wonderful. He frequently sent updates and pictures and left our home in better condition than when we left. Definitely would recommend and will use again.
Dedicated and caring! Our senior, large dog gave Dave so much trouble, but Dave was patient and attentive the entire time. Thank you for being there for us and our boy!
Best dog sitter I’ve ever had! He always sends lots of pictures. Gives us lots of updates. He isn’t afraid to ask questions if he’s not sure about something. And, most importantly, the dogs are always happy and well cared for! Everything you could ever want in a sitter!
Dave is awesome! We are lucky to have his help taking care of our new puppy. Does a great job.

Safety, trust & environment
I care for other people’s pets however they request; some have fenced in yards while others require walking. Feeding times differ, as do the types of food and the location to feed. Regardless of the specifics, I am prepared to care for your pet as if they are my own.
Information Dave F. would like to know about your pet
Any specifics that you need me to know, including when and where to walk, when and how much to feed, what kinds of treats are best, what we should work on if the dog is being trained, etc. Just let me know anything and everything prior to caring for your pet. Meetups in advance are the best way to ensure I know everything there is to know.
A typical day
There are so many fun activities when it comes to pets. There’s playtime, petting time, walking, and then just sitting together enjoying each other’s company. Letting other pets play together is also fun to do. I love taking walks in the woods and on hiking trails if there are any nearby.
