Safety, trust & environment

Obviously, it's a lot of trust to put in a stranger from the internet to come into your house while you're gone. Whether it's talking on the phone, meeting in person, being Facebook friends, I'll do my best to help you know I'm not a scammer or a robber.

Information David L. would like to know about your pet

Some things that would be important to know about your pet might include special diet requirements, physical limitations, favorite Beatle, or a particular route they like to walk.

A typical day

If your pet likes music, I'll be happy to bring my guitar and play some music for them! But generally dogs prefer to walk around the neighborhood and smell things...

Animals love me, can't blame them!

Pet care experience

I'm retired, and thus very flexible. I'm quite reliable and dependable. My girlfriend and I live in a historic house near downtown Petaluma. I go for a nice long walk/run most days, and would love to have your dog keep me company! I've had cats or dogs throughout most of my life, and love both.

We couldn't recommend David highly enough as a pet owner. Our dog Toby absolutely loved him, which always makes us happy when we go out of town. David is excellent at communication and very responsive. We will definitely be using David again in the future. We feel lucky to have found him.

David watched my kitties for 3 weeks over the holidays. He did a great job! They were happy and healthy when I got home and the litter box was clean. Can't really ask for more. I would recommend him to keep your pets happy while you are gone
