Highlights
Pet care experience
Longtime cat lover and caretaker
I've taken care of not only my own cats (of which there are three), but the cats of friends and relatives as well. I've spent over a decade caring for cats of all ages and I have extensive experience with feeding, cleaning litterboxes, administering medications, crating for veterinary visits, participating in active enrichment, etc.

Ratings and reviews
David was absolutely amazing! He provided daily updates and made sure to check in frequently. He is responded extremely fast to any messages we sent. Even our shyest girl warmed up to him on the second night, which never happens! Highly recommend!
David was great -- Tux was obviously well cared for and loved on while we were gone, and we really appreciated the many photos David sent us!
David is so reliable and the girls love him!
David was tremendous with our girls. He gave a nightly med to both of our kitties, constantly kept us updated and informed with how the girls were doing and sent us so many pictures. They got adjusted to him so quickly and his kind energy definitely helped! He’s easy to talk with and very communicative. Overall, we are so happy to have had David watch our October and Toffee. I’m sure they would love to see you again for our next trip out of state! Thanks again so much for helping us be at ease all the way on the other side of the country!
David took care of my cat several times when we were in college during periods when I had to travel for days or even up to a week at a time. He was attentive, dependable, and genuinely caring. I always felt completely at ease knowing my cat was in his hands. He made sure my cat was well-fed, had a clean litter pan, and got plenty of play and affection. He would even send me little updates and pictures, which I appreciated so much. David has a natural way with animals, as I have seen not only with my cat, but with his own pets as well. I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend him to anyone looking for a trustworthy, loving pet-sitter.
David has always had a natural warmth and deep empathy for animals. Growing up with dogs, he learned early on what it means to be a consistent, loving presence, whether through long walks, patient training, or simply being there. Now, as an adult with cats, that same care shines through in quieter but no less meaningful ways. He’s attentive to their needs, respectful of their independence, and quick to notice when something’s off. Watching the way his animals trust him, curling up beside him, following him from room to room, you can tell: David is a genuinely compassionate caretaker, and any animal in his life is lucky to have him.
