I will love your pet like my own

Pet care experience

I’ve taken care of dogs all my life starting with my own Pomeranian Max at six and now Arya - a lab/german shepherd - for the last six years. Arya was adopted and has really been a trial in patience and love which has taught me so much about learning that every dog is different and requires different care. After learning to deal and love Arya, I can assure you that with enough time your pet and I will get along swimmingly.

David has been our go-to pet sitter for years, and his exceptional care and unwavering dedication to our beloved Beagle, Shortstop, have solidified his place as an invaluable member of our extended family. From the moment Shortstop first met David, there was an instant connection. Over the years, David has become more than just a pet sitter; he's a trusted friend who understands Shortstop's unique personality and preferences like no one else. Shortstop, being the energetic Beagle that he is, lights up with excitement whenever David walks through the door, a testament to the bond they've cultivated over time. David's consistent reliability and genuine affection for Shortstop have made him an indispensable part of our lives. Whenever we plan a trip or need someone to look after our furry friend, David is our first and only choice. His comprehensive understanding of Shortstop's needs, combined with his proactive approach to pet care, gives us complete peace of mind knowing that our Beagle is in the best hands possible. Whether it's taking Shortstop on adventurous hikes through the trails or simply lounging together on lazy afternoons, David ensures that our pet receives not only the physical care he requires but also the emotional support and companionship he craves. Their bond goes beyond mere pet sitting; it's a genuine friendship built on trust, respect, and mutual affection. Our furry Beagle eagerly anticipates David's visits, and each time we return home, we find Shortstop relaxed, happy, and thoroughly pampered, a testament to the love and attention he receives in our absence. David's commitment to our pet's well-being is unwavering, and his dedication to providing top-notch care is truly commendable. In conclusion, David's longstanding relationship with our Beagle, Shortstop, and his exemplary pet sitting skills make him the epitome of a trusted and reliable caregiver. If you're searching for someone who will treat your furry friend like family and provide them with the utmost love, care, and attention, look no further than David. We wholeheartedly recommend him as the perfect choice for all your pet sitting needs

David is a very responsible pet sitter. He takes care of my dog when I am away, and always does a great dog. He is truly passionate about animals, and not only adores my dog but his dog and cat as well. I highly recommend hiring David for your next sit!

Let me share with you an unforgettable experience we had with David as our pet sitter. We were scheduled for a week-long trip, and leaving our energetic Labrador, Butters, behind always left us feeling a bit anxious. However, from the moment we met David, those worries vanished. David immediately connected with Butters, greeting him with genuine warmth and enthusiasm. It was evident that he had a special way with animals. During our trip, he provided us with regular updates, but it was one particular incident that truly exemplified his dedication and care. One day, David noticed that Butters was feeling a bit under the weather. Without hesitation, he sprung into action, carefully monitoring Butters's symptoms and behavior. He contacted us promptly and reassured us that he would take all necessary steps to ensure Butters's well-being. David went above and beyond, administering Butters's medication with patience and skill, and adjusting his activities to accommodate his condition. He even took the time to research additional ways to provide comfort and relief for Butters, showing his unwavering commitment to our pet's health and happiness. Thanks to David's quick thinking and compassionate care, Butters recovered swiftly, and we returned home to find him in high spirits, wagging his tail with delight. It was clear that David had not only taken care of Butters's physical needs but also showered him with love and attention during our absence. This experience left a lasting impression on us, reaffirming our trust and admiration for David's exceptional pet sitting skills. He truly embodies the qualities of a phenomenal pet sitter - compassion, reliability, and an unwavering commitment to the well-being of the animals entrusted to his care. If you're looking for a pet sitter who will treat your furry friends like family, look no further than David. With him by your side, you can embark on your travels with peace of mind, knowing that your pets are in the most capable and loving hands.
