David can care for
Availability
I’m currently a third-year medical student living at the Forte in Hackensack. I have a flexible schedule, especially over the summer. That means I can accommodate last-minute drop-ins, walks, or house sitting visits. Your little one(s) will get plenty of attention, exercise, and enrichment during our time together. For house sitting, I stay full-time at my clients’ residences, including overnight care. If you’re looking for daytime-only visits without overnight stays, feel free to note that in your request, and I’ll provide a custom quote.

About David K.
Communication
Dog skills
Safety, trust & environment
Every pet is unique, and I tailor my care to their individual needs - whether it’s medication, dietary restrictions, or just extra snuggles. I’m a respectful guest in your home, and your pet’s safety, comfort, and happiness are always my top priorities.
Information David K. would like to know about your pet
To provide the best care possible, I’d love to know: - Any special accommodations (e.g., medications, dietary restrictions) - How your pet interacts with other animals (if applicable) - Medical history or chronic conditions - Energy level and favorite ways to play or relax - Sensitivities to loud noises (e.g., thunder, fireworks, vacuum cleaners) - Feeding routines, litter box habits (for cats), and comforting rituals
A typical day
I love bringing dogs to the park for some fresh air, sniffing, and fetch, if they’re up for it! For cats, I create a calm, enriching environment with playtime (feather wands, laser pointers, or whatever they enjoy), brushing, or cozy lap time. I always tailor the day to your pet’s age, energy level, and personality - whether that means active engagement or just quiet companionship. Every pet gets attention, affection, and the stimulation they need to feel comfortable and cared for.

Pet care experience
As a lifelong animal lover, I’ve cared for pets of all ages and conditions, from a 4-week-old puppy to an 18-year-old Italian greyhound with degenerative disc disease. I understand how stressful it can be to leave your furry family member with someone new, which is why I’m committed to easing that uncertainty through consistent updates, photos, and compassionate care. You can trust that I’ll treat your pet as if they were my own.

Reviews
We can’t say enough wonderful things about David! Our senior girl is very challenging, with many special needs. David set our minds at ease knowing she was in good hands. Wonderful with communication as well! Would highly recommend! Thank you again David for your compassionate care ❤️🐾
David was excellent in every way! On a logistics level, he was very organized and communicative throughout. He was always quick to respond and helpful at every turn. He was so caring with our two cats, which put our mind at ease while we traveled out of state. His daily pictures showed our cats playing and laying on his lap, which means they loved him. I'm thrilled to know David is close for our future travels!
David was amazing! He is super attentive and checks in with photos at every visit! He made sure my diabetic cat got his insulin and meals on time and even spent extra time playing and spending time with him! Will definitely rebook in the future.
David has been checking in on my cat, MJ for a few months now and he is great! Thoughtful, attentive, professional and trustworthy. Thanks David!
