Pet care experience
Hello! My schedule is I work 3 12-hour shifts a week during the week so I will fit in requests as best as possible. I have been taking care of pets consistently for 3 years now and I really enjoy it. There are some challenges, and I've had some cats I never even saw while sitting but it's something I love to do. I currently own 5 cats and 1 dog! My dog is an adorable Dachaund Bassett mix who is amazing! I've learned a lot of patience with dogs because Boris wants to sniff EVERYTHING. But I love him to death and I love dog watching when I go to the park or driving around town. Dogs are just awesome! My oldest cat is named Halite, or Hal. He is an interesting one with a huge attitude but can be so sweet. He's our security cat because he protects Boris from other cats and even small dogs. He is just a very cool cat! Benny is our cat distribution system sucess story, he is so sweet and loves playing with two other cats, Louis and Nyx. I enjoy being around dogs and petting them and walking them. I tend to get along really well with most dogs and cats. I have my own vehicle which I don't mind having pets in it as to allow for maximum flexibility. I do work during the day for the most part but I am willing to visit dogs early mornings and late evenings as much as needed and possible. I look forward to meeting some great dogs and cats!!
Reviews
David is consistently ready to walk my pup with short notice. He’s friendly and kind and great with Milo. I’m thankful to say “long time no see” and trust that Milo is going to have a really fun hour out.
David did a great job with our cat Howie. Howie is a shy cat and doesn’t really like strangers, but he seemed to like David. I liked getting pictures every day. It’s nice to be able to see how he is doing.
Very flexible and friendly!
Thank you for taking care of my cats once again. It is so appreciative.

I cannot care for a pet at home right now. At a client's home I just try to be there and gauge their interest as I go. If they want to play I'll play, if they hide that's okay too! My goal is to give them the highest care possible without increasing their street/anxiety level while their person(s) is away.
Information David C. would like to know about your pet
Let me know about special needs or behaviors or areas to avoid in the neighborhood beforehand. Any information is helpful. I know some dogs do great with other dogs, others not so much. Any quirks a dog or house might have is helpful, such as they might get stuck behind a door that closes on its own. I always appreciate knowing their favorite way to play and the expectations on their exercise needs.
A typical day
Every dog is different. Some dogs I've played catch with the whole time in the back yard, some just want to play tug of war. Some dogs just want to do their own thing and sniff around the yard. Others I take on walks while some just want scritches and to be told what a good dog they are. It's fun using a wand toy or laser pointer with the cats! Especially if theirs an island in the kitchen or corners for them to chase me around. Some cats just want some attention and then go do their own thing. I use whatever I can to keep them entertained.
