Reliable Pet Lover Safe Care

I have many years of experience taking care of animals since I was young, and I’ve always had a strong passion for their well-being. I love seeing animals happy, healthy, and thriving, and I take pride in making sure they are properly cared for. In my family, we have had over six animals, including a bearded dragon, two hamsters, fish, two dogs, one cat, and one snake. I was the main person responsible for taking care of them, including feeding, cleaning, walking, and making sure they were safe and comfortable. Currently, we have a 6-year-old chihuahua, and I take care of him daily by feeding him, walking him, and making sure he is doing well. I’m very attentive, patient, and responsible when it comes to animals of all types and personalities. My experience has taught me how to understand different animal behaviors and adjust to their needs, whether they are energetic, shy, or senior pets. I treat every animal like my own and always make their safety and comfort my priority.

Pets

Safety, trust & environment

I care for pets by focusing on safety, routine, and making sure they feel comfortable in their environment. In a client’s home, I follow all instructions closely, including feeding schedules, walk routines, and any specific rules the owner provides. I make sure doors are secure, pets are always supervised, and I pay attention to their behavior so they stay safe and relaxed. When walking dogs, I keep them on a leash at all times and stay alert to surroundings, other animals, and distractions. I take my time to make sure each walk is calm and controlled. Overall, I treat every pet like my own and aim to create a calm, trusting environment where they feel safe and cared for while their owner is away.

I recommend David H., without hesitation. He’s an Animal lover! My pup Maggie and him bonded right away. Same will happen with yours! Your dog will be in great hands and tired at the end which is good. David is loving, reliable, trusty and responsible.

Being in David's close circle of loved ones, it has first and foremost taught me his beaming nature of thoughtfulness, diligent care, and strong sense and execution of responsibility. He has a profound and wholesome love towards animals much like he has towards people, and it even brought him as far as declaring his career to Veterinary Sciences as well. I've seen him firsthand with his own current dog (and he's had multiple pets prior, ranging from bearded dragons to snakes, back to dogs) and he goes above and beyond to ensure his happiness, health, well being, exercise, etc. He cares so much for his dog that he makes him his own food (nothing store bought) with preparations equivalent to those for people at restaurants. He pays close attention to his dog's needs, comfort, care, and safety just like he would for any other pet that he would be in the position to care of. He has even taken care of my cat whenever need be, and I could tell that he was really enjoying his time with David. My cat is incredibly lazy, but David somehow got him to play and actually exercise for a while (on call)! He made sure my cat got fed routinely as I instructed him to, as well as excellently taking care of the litter along with the mess my cat always makes. There's no one else I trust as much as David to look after my uniquely tempered cat. His qualities and experiences as a person and animal lover, make him more than qualified to be an exceptional pet caregiver.

When it comes to caring and looking out for pets David does an amazing job. I’ve seen him love his own dog unconditionally as if they were his own child. David feeds his own dog the best treats, keeps him active,and takes his health very seriously. The best thing that comes with David watching you’re pet is that he treats them like his own.

As David’s cousin, I’ve had the chance to watch him grow up, and one thing that’s always stayed the same is his love for animals. Ever since we were kids, he was always surrounded by them. He’s had fish, a lizard, an iguana, turtles, dogs—you name it. If he found a stray kitten or an animal that needed help, he’d bring it home without thinking twice. I remember his mom getting mad because he’d constantly show up with another animal he wanted to save. Even though he’s a little allergic to some animals, that has never stopped him. He just takes the proper precautions because he genuinely loves being around them. He’s patient, caring, and always makes sure animals feel safe and cared for. I truly believe David would be an amazing pet sitter because caring for animals has always come naturally to him. I wouldn’t hesitate to trust him with my own pets, and I know he’ll treat every animal like it’s his own.

Hello, David is my son and since he was a child he’s been a loving dog person. We have had many animals over the years and since he was young he has been awesome, caring and compassionate about animals . He’s currently going to college to become a vet. I personally believe he would make a great candidate to care for anyone’s furry friend.

I highly recommend David as a dog sitter. I’ve seen firsthand that he genuinely cares for dogs and has a great connection with them. Even dogs that seem intimidating or considered difficult tend to warm up to him. He treats every dog as if they were his own so expect them to be well taken cared of and comfortable around him.

Schedule

(I currently take bookings in Brooklyn, Manhattan, Queens, and the Bronx. ) Pet care fits naturally into my daily and weekly routine because I already take care of my own dog every day, including feeding, walking, and making sure he is healthy and comfortable. This keeps me consistent and responsible with animal care. I have a flexible schedule during the week, which allows me to take on walks and visits in the mornings, afternoons, or evenings. I’m able to adjust my time based on each booking so every pet gets proper attention, care, and exercise without feeling rushed.
