I'm familiar with using alarm systems to keep you pet and home secure, and will gladly accommodate special needs to keep you dog or cat comfortable.

Information David D. would like to know about your pet

For pets that will be let out in the yard, or walked, it's always good do know if there are other pets in the neighborhood that are friendly/unfriendly. Also, for house sitting services, my preference is a non-smoking environment.

A typical day

I will follow daily routines that your pets are used to, and be sure to give attention to all in multi-pet households. Always enjoy dog walks.

Pets keep me in my happy place.

Pet care experience

I've shared my life with my own pets for 27 years, initially with my beloved Dalmatian Spot, from house-training as a puppy through year 14, with his mobility challenges that required love, patience and compassion. Spot shared the house with our first stray kitten, who unfortunately passed early last year, before we rescued another last summer. I empathize with caring for dogs and cats needing care and company, as of course, companionship and playtime are important too, whether lap time, going out in the yard, or taking for walks. I've cared for dogs and cats for friends and family, both at my home or theirs, including administering medications with feedings and maintaining litter boxes/pee-pads.

David is great! Our dog is timid and anxious, requiring extra patience and kindness. David takes the time to give him what he needs to be comfortable. He’s always responsive and flexible.

As a first time Rover customer, David provided excellent care for our cat! Great pictures and feedback after every drop-in visit. Prompt at scheduled times… Care and respect for cat care items! Will definitely schedule him again! Thanks so much!

Each sitter joining Rover needs to pass a background check. And by booking on Rover, you can get photo & message updates, 24/7 support, and reimbursement for eligible vet care.
