Pet care experience
I have loved animals all my life and am currently a dad to an Italian greyhound (Chloe), a domestic shorthair, and a Donskoy! Over the years, I have cared for pets in a range of ages and conditions, from a month old puppy to an 18 year old Iggy with degenerative disc disease. As a pet parent, I know how it feels to leave your little ones with a stranger - I hope to ease this uncertainty through constant updates as I shower your little ones with love! I WFH so I’ll be with your pet for most of the day (if I’m sitting them). I’ll treat your little ones as if they were my own. No dog is too rambunctious for me! My hours are flexible and can also accommodate last-minute requests. I also provide timely updates and pictures when your dog is under my care. Please feel free to reach out with any questions or concerns. Look forward to meeting you and your little ones! I will treat your little ones as if they are my own babies. I love to cuddle while keeping them active with toys and games during the day.
Reviews
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!
Based on David's reviews, we had high expectations. Meeting him made us feel even more confident to hire him to take care of our two furballs for 12 days, 30 mins a day during the holidays. From the first visit to the last, he lived up to all our expectations and beyond. He is a reliable, kind, and sweet person—a true gem. Our cats loved him and looked forward to meeting him every day. He treated them like they were his own. Our little family is grateful to David for making a stressful situation like this as smooth and worry-free as possible. Don't hesitate to hire him.
David was great when checking in on my cat! Friendly, professional, and a great attention to detail. I’d highly recommend!!
About David K.
Communication
Skills
Safety, trust & environment
I treat each pet as if they are my own little one. Safety, exercise, stimulation, and love are always my priority. I generally do not accept boarding at my apartment.
Information David K. would like to know about your pet
Any special accommodations (e.g., medications, dietary restrictions), how well they get along with other dogs (if appropriate), vaccination statuses, level of activity, how they respond to loud noises (e.g., thunder, fireworks)
A typical day
I love to bring dogs to the park for some exercise and fetch if they are able to. Otherwise, I normally walk them every couple of hours. I generally adjust the activities depending on the dog's age and comorbidities. Regardless, they better be prepared for lots of love (and kisses)!
Services
David can watch in your home
Availability
I'm flexible with last minute drop-in requests. I currently work full-time, so can only accommodate sitting services on certain days but will have much more time for sitting once I start medical school in the fall.
