In-Home Dog Sitting
Pet care experience
I've been taking care of pets in their own homes for more than 10 years, and was a dog owner prior to that. From raising and training a 235lb English Mastiff to watching two Pugs, to taking care of finicky kittens, I'd love to take extra special care of your family member in an environment they know and love. Senior animals? Special diets? Not a challenge.

The best! Could definitely feel the care he had for my pups :) Will be booking again!!
Dave is a kind, respectful, and caring pet sitter who has watched my animals on several occasions, including a 15 day trip I took to Japan! I have a mature cat, Fifi, who's needs are feeding, litter care, attention, and occasional play - Dave always treats Fifi with care and kindness and she warms up to him quickly. Additionally, I have a complicated saltwater aquarium setup that requires multiple needs daily from feeding, water top off, and mentoring for issues. Dave is always in close communication with me related to my fish and coral, including working through a video call on a couple occasions to resolve an alarm or issue. I would highly recommend Dave as a pet sitter from his ability to truly care for your animal's needs as well as his attention to detail.
I can't say enough great things about Dave! He's stayed at my house and watched my cat and dog on multiple occasions and I always feel better knowing he's there. I tend to stress a lot about my animals when I'm away, but never when Dave is there. He's responsible, communicative, and takes great care of them. I think my dog might like him more than me, ha. Definitely will be reaching out to him in the future!
Highly recommend Dave as an in-home pet sitter and will use again. He described how he interacted with our cat who can be suspicious and slow to warm to new people, but after a few days she warmed to him and was interacting including lap time. He gave us welcomed status updates on her. He stayed in the house, worked from our home and you would not have known he was there. Everything was clean and exactly how we left for Dave.
