Information David K. would like to know about your pet

Any special needs or preferences. I am happy to accomodate so your dog/cat is happy in my care. I also know first aid and CPR.

A typical day

I love to take dogs on walks and to the doggie park if the pup parent is okay with this. I also love to work with puzzles and play fetch. Items to keep the animals entertained and stimulated. I have done many cat sitting jobs and love to take care of your precious kitties. Especially if they love to play.

Pet care experience

Greetings. I currently work for NBC Universal and am on hiatus. I absolutely adore animals and thought this would be a great way to keep busy while doing something I love. I am available for cat/dog/house sitting and/or walking jobs. I am super flexible right now and for drop ins happy to take a walk with your pup. We have two pups ourselves and over 20 years of dog love. Please feel free to reach out if I can help at all. Thank you in advance! Oh and we live in the Cullerton/Indiana area. 15 years and counting. I also have a car.

David has been looking in on August for me since he was a kitten. August just loves him and I’m super grateful for the amazing care he provides.

David was outstanding! This was my first time using a sitter from Rover and I was very nervous, but David exceeded expectations. He checked in on my apartment and two cats twice. He was extremely communicative and sent lots of photos. He took great care of my cats, and they warmed up to him quickly. David was professional, kind, thorough, and extremely clean. Would highly recommend David for any of your pet needs.

Each sitter joining Rover needs to pass a background check. And by booking on Rover, you can get photo & message updates, 24/7 support, and reimbursement for eligible vet care.
