Loving & Trusted Cat Sitter

I’ve cared for cats of all ages and personalities, from playful kittens to senior cats requiring special diets and medications. Through many successful sits on TrustedHousesitters, I’ve looked after single-cat homes as well as multi-cat households, always adapting to their unique needs. I’m experienced with administering oral medication, keeping litter boxes spotless, and providing the affection (or quiet companionship) that each cat prefers. Whether your cat loves to curl up in my lap, play with toys, or just have someone steady nearby, I make sure they feel safe, relaxed, and loved while you’re away.

Safety, trust & environment

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.

Doggy Day Care • Sep 04, 2022

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!

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.

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!

Schedule

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.

Every pet has unique routines, preferences, and quirks. I appreciate knowing about feeding schedules, favorite toys, walking habits, medications, and any special instructions that help me keep them comfortable and stress-free. Dogs and cats are family, and I strive to provide the same love, consistency, and attention that you do at home.
