Caring for pets fits naturally into my routine because I intentionally keep a flexible schedule to provide reliable, attentive care. I also believe in consistency, communication, and treating every pet like they’re my own are what give owners peace of mind while they’re away.

Safety, trust & environment

Your pet’s safety is my top priority. I respect your home and follow your instructions closely. I provide regular photo and video updates for peace of mind, and I’m experienced with dogs of all temperaments, including anxious, seniors and special needs pets. Potty breaks will be according to however the owner pet would like to keep your dog comfortable and on routine.

Information David D. would like to know about your pet

Please let me know about any special needs, medications, allergies, or behavioral quirks so I can care for your pet properly. I appreciate details on feeding schedules, favorite toys, potty routines, and anything that helps your pet feel comfortable with someone new in their space.

A typical day

I love keeping dogs active and engaged. We’ll play fetch or tug, work on basic commands if you’d like, and go for a walk around the neighborhood to sniff and explore. For cats, I focus on interactive playtime, brushing, and quiet companionship so they feel comfortable and secure while you’re away.

Pet Care by Dave

Pet care experience

I grew up surrounded by pets and have spent my entire life caring for dogs of all breeds, sizes, and personalities. For over 12 years, friends and family have trusted me as their go-to person for walking, feeding, bathing, and looking after their animals — long before I made it a profession. I have experience with puppies, senior dogs, anxious pets, and multi-dog households. Every pet in my care gets photo and video updates throughout the day so you always know your dog is happy, safe, and loved.

David took care of our dogs Spunky and Sade for a long weekend and we couldn’t have asked for a better sitter. He sent photos and updates every day, stuck to the dogs feeding and walking schedule perfectly, and even noticed Sade seemed a little anxious the first night and spent extra time calming her down. By the time we got home, they were clearly attached to him — tail wagging like crazy the moment David walked in. We felt completely at ease the whole trip knowing our dogs was in good hands. Would 100% book David again.
