Safety, trust & environment

Your pet’s well-being and your home’s security are my top priorities. I follow strict safety protocols—from secure leashing and pet-proofing to proper feeding routines and emergency readiness. With meticulous attention to detail, I ensure your furry (or feathery/scaly) family members stay happy and healthy while you're away. Your peace of mind matters, and I treat your home with the same respect as my own. Let’s keep your pets safe, comfortable, and loved! 🔒🐶❤️

Information David C. would like to know about your pet

Every pet is unique, and I want to make sure they feel safe, happy, and loved while you're away! To give them the best care, please let me know about: ✔ **Special needs** (medications, allergies, or sensitivities) ✔ **Favorite treats & feeding routines** (so I can spoil them just right!) ✔ **Behavior quirks** (things that comfort or stress them) ✔ **Loves & dislikes** (belly rubs? playtime? cozy spots?) The more details you share, the better I can tailor their care—whether that means extra cuddles, gentle patience, or energetic play. Your pet’s comfort is my top priority! Looking forward to pampering them just the way they like. 😊🐾

A typical day

Every day with your pet is packed with fun, exercise, and mental stimulation to keep them happy and healthy! We’ll start with a morning walk or play session to burn off energy, followed by puzzle toys or training games to engage their mind. Whether it’s fetch in the park, scent games, or obedience practice, I make sure they get both physical and mental challenges. For high-energy pets, we’ll enjoy longer adventures—hiking, running, or interactive play—while calmer companions will get tailored enrichment like snuggle time with a side of gentle brain games. I believe a tired pet is a happy pet, so every day is balanced with plenty of activity and relaxation. Rest assured, your furry friend will get the love, attention, and stimulation they need while you’re away!

Pet care experience

With over 15 years of hands-on experience caring for all types of animals—from dogs and cats to reptiles, and birds—I bring a lifetime of love for creatures big and small. Growing up near a farm, I learned early how to nurture animals with patience, respect, and attention to their unique needs. Whether it’s administering medication, maintaining specialized habitats, or simply providing companionship, your pets will be in safe, caring hands. I also keep homes secure and tidy, so you can relax while away. Let’s chat—I’d love to meet your furry (or scaly, feathered, or finned) family! 🐾

David stayed with my girls when I went out of town for nearly two weeks. This was my first time using a pet sitter and I was nervous. David answered all my questions and came over to get to know my dogs which really helped ease my anxiety. David sent me pics and updates on my dogs while I was gone. I got home to a spotless condo and some very happy and spoiled girls! I’m not even sure they missed me while I was gone because they loved David so much! I will definitely be booking David again!

Dave is so great with our dogs! He meets each of their individual needs and they are so excited to see him when he comes over- probably more excited than they are to see me! 😂 He offers great communication and always lets me know if something seems off with the pups which I am grateful for. It feels good knowing we are leaving our babies in his hands. He goes above and beyond to help us feel comfortable and to shower the pups with love and fun!
