I work part-time early mornings (1 AM – 5 AM, Monday through Friday), so my main availability is typically from 2 PM to 1 AM. I’m a great fit for afternoon, evening, and late-night care. I can also do early morning visits right after my shift if needed. I keep a consistent schedule and do my best to stay flexible to fit you and your pet’s needs!

Safety, trust & environment

I take a lot of pride in caring for my own pets and making sure they’re always happy, healthy, and comfortable. I stay consistent with feeding, playtime, and giving them attention, while also paying close attention to their behavior and needs. I treat every animal with patience and care, and I bring that same mindset into how I care for others’ pets.

Information David G. would like to know about your pet

Before watching a pet, I think it’s important to know their routine, personality, energy level, and any special needs or behaviors. I like knowing things like feeding schedules, favorite toys, medications, allergies, bathroom habits, walking preferences, and how they usually act around other people or animals. I also appreciate knowing what helps them feel comfortable, whether that’s extra playtime, quiet space, or lots of cuddles. The more I know ahead of time, the better I can make your pet feel safe, happy, and at home while you’re away!

A typical day

A typical day with me includes plenty of attention, playtime, potty breaks, feeding, and making sure your pets feel comfortable and cared for while you’re away. I like keeping pets on their normal routine as much as possible so they feel safe and relaxed. I’ll also send updates and photos so you can see how they’re doing throughout the day! For fun activities, I love going on walks, playing fetch or tug-of-war, relaxing outside, giving lots of pets and cuddle time, and keeping dogs mentally engaged with toys and games. For cats, I enjoy interactive play with toys, laser pointers, and giving them calm attention at their own pace. Since I take care of my own dog, Hank, and my cats, Clover and Pepper, every day, I know how important it is to make pets feel happy, comfortable, and loved.

Pet care experience

LGBTQ+ and all inclusive! I’ve been around and caring for animals for as long as I can remember. Growing up with pets taught me early on how to understand their behavior, respect their space, and build trust with them. I’ve always felt a natural connection with animals, and I genuinely enjoy spending time with them and getting to know their personalities. I’m comfortable caring for dogs of all sizes and temperaments, whether they’re full of energy, a little shy, or somewhere in between. I’ve also handled daily care routines like feeding, potty breaks, administering oral medications, and basic grooming. Whether your dog wants to play, explore, or just relax, I’ll make sure they feel safe, comfortable, and cared for the whole time. My goal is simple: happy dogs, wagging tails, and peace of mind for you.

David is simply the best. He has an easy ability with any dog or cat he comes across. His calm demeanor and kind heart are seen and felt by animals. He is reliable, on time and flexible enough with your schedule to meet your needs. Never worry about your pets again…you’ve got David to care for them now!
