Pet care experience

Personalized cat and dog care/groom

I grew up caring for multiple large dogs and cats simultaneously. One of the two labs required extra care as he lost a rear limb when he was a puppy. I currently am blessed with a beautiful domestic long hair cat named Misty that has extra grooming needs and requires extensive daily brushing.

David has been fantastic! He’s always reliable, even when I need a walk at the last minute, and Percy is always happy to see him. I really appreciate the updates and photos after each visit; they give me so much peace of mind. I trust him completely, and we’re even having him watch Percy while we’re away. Highly recommend!

David has looked after my cats multiple times, and I couldn't be happier with the care he provides. He's reliable, attentive, and genuinely loves animals. Every time I come home, my cats are happy, relaxed, and well cared for. David keeps me updated throughout his visits and goes above and beyond — from feeding and litter duty to playtime and cuddles. It's rare to find someone you can trust completely with your pets, and David is that person. Highly recommended!

I'm nervous about leaving town because my dog can be tricky, but Dave did an amazing job and gave us peace of mind the entire trip. The pictures he sent made it look like our dog enjoyed his vacation as much as ours.

David provided excellent care and thorough updates on our cat. It really put our minds at ease to hear about her every day. David went above and beyond and we would gladly book again.
