Experienced and reliable!

Pet care experience

Hello, I have been pet-sitting/walking for numerous households in the NW Philadelphia area for over two decades. I can travel easily (up to 10 miles) and usually on short notice. Please get in touch for any of your pet related needs that you may have. I'm available for walks, check-ins, feedings, excursions, or house-sitting (on or off site). I'm familiar with all of the local parks and the Wissahickon. I'm fully capable of handling up to 3 dogs at once. I work from home so I am typically available on weekends and weekdays, both days and evenings. References are available upon request. I love all animals, cats, dogs both big and small! Please get in touch if your pet needs a part-time pal. :) -David

David did a tremendous job and service to us by watching Kylo. He took care of him day and night as if he was one of his own, we’re extremely grateful and we will be booking with him again soon. Thanks again!

With this being my first time using Rover I really appreciated the fact that the process was very smooth. I looked at many sitters, and was very hesitant at first, however David was very patient and understanding. He was super flexible with scheduling and I can tell Catto was very happy with the visit too! David sent updates and followed all instructions as well. I will definitely feel comfortable reaching out to David again for his services. Thanks again!

Bella had a great time staying with David. He was easy to communicate with, accommodating, and sent plenty of pictures/videos to ensure that Bella had settled in. I will definitely reach out to David again to watch Bella.

David was wonderful with our dog. He regularly updated us, stayed with the dog’s schedule and returned our dog to us happy and well-adjusted! I almost think Aegon didn’t miss us at all! We were so relieved and glad that we found David at the last minute to take care of our fur-baby during our holiday plans and even more happier that he and Aegon got along so well! We’ll definitely use David again and recommend him to take care of your fur-baby!
