Experienced Dog & Cat Sitter- Nomad
.Hi, I’m Dave—a retired full-time traveler and pet sitter who has cared for dogs and cats across the U.S. through TrustedHousesitters for many years. My lifestyle revolves around house and pet sitting, which means I’m not just popping in—I make caring for pets my priority. I specialize in longer stays ranging from a week to several months, but I also enjoy helping families with shorter sits. Pets I’ve cared for include everything from playful puppies and high-energy breeds to senior dogs needing gentle walks, medications, or extra TLC. I’m equally experienced with cats—from outgoing lap cats to shy rescues who require patience and a calm presence. I always adapt to each animal’s routine, personality, and special needs so they feel safe, loved, and stress-free while their family is away. What I Offer • Dog Sitting: Walks tailored to your pup’s energy level—whether that’s leisurely strolls, trail walks, or long park outings. I’m attentive to leash manners, safety, and routines. • Cat Sitting: Experienced with indoor cats, multi-cat households, and those needing special attention. I understand feline behavior and give them the space or cuddles they prefer. • Medication & Special Care: Comfortable giving oral meds, handling dietary restrictions, and maintaining routines for pets with health considerations. • Home Care Perks: Since I’ve done extensive house sitting, I naturally treat every home with the utmost respect—bringing in mail, watering plants, and keeping things tidy while you’re away. Why Choose Me • Trusted Reputation: Dozens of 5-star reviews on TrustedHousesitters for reliability, communication, and excellent pet care. • Senior Nomad Lifestyle: Since I travel by house and pet sitting, I am present and available throughout the day—not rushing in and out. • Peace of Mind: I provide daily updates, photos, and check-ins so you always know your pets are happy and your home is secure. A Little About Me When I’m not walking dogs or playing with cats, you’ll often find me exploring local trails on my folding e-bike, setting up wildlife trail cams, or enjoying coffee outdoors with furry companions nearby. I love discovering new places through the eyes of the pets I care for—it makes every sit unique and rewarding.

Dave sent us several pictures of lemon while we were away. She had a blast playing with his dogs. He was flexible when we had a change. Highly recommend, we would let Dave watch lemon again!!
Dave was great with our dog! He sent pictures and videos every day that we were gone and updated us frequently. I would definitely use him again to watch our pup!
Good care. Thank you
Dave responded quickly and was flexible in helping us with a last minute request. I had already booked him for a visit 2 weeks from now and feel very comfortable leaving my pups and home in his hands.
All went perfectly. Kept us informed and totaly great for my dog.
Dave did a great job watching our dog (an 85 lb lab mix) over the Thanksgiving Holiday. He was very friendly, quick to respond and provided pictures & updates. We really appreciate all of Dave's efforts and highly recommend him!

Zeitplan
Being retired, I’m available full-time to care for pets without distractions. Your dog or cat will have consistent companionship, playtime, walks, and cuddles throughout the day. Since pet sitting is my lifestyle, I’m fully present—not rushing in and out—so your pets always feel safe, loved, and attended to.

Sicherheit, Vertrauen & Umgebung
Your pet’s safety and comfort are my top priorities. I follow their normal routines closely, keep their environment secure, and give them plenty of attention. Whether that means calm reassurance for a shy cat or energetic exercise for a playful dog, I adapt to each pet’s personality. I also treat every home with the same care and respect I would my own.
Ein typischer Tag
A typical day starts with morning feeding, fresh water, and a walk or play session. Throughout the day, I mix in exercise, companionship, and downtime based on your pet’s needs—whether that’s a game of fetch, a ride to a local trail, or quiet lap time. In the evening, I provide another walk or play session, dinner, and lots of affection before settling them in for the night. I also send updates and photos daily so you always know your pet is happy and well cared for.
