Full-Time Pet Professional

Pet care experience

Dear Pet Parents, I’m David, a dedicated pet sitter who appreciates the positive energy that surrounds these wonderful creatures. At home I’ve been fortunate enough to have a 15-year-old Golden Retriever and a 10-year-old Brown Tabby, both who hold a special place in my heart. Like you, I prioritize the well-being of my furry family members and strive to provide them with the best care possible. During my high school years, I pursued various animal medical and biological classes, which laid the foundation for my subsequent internship at I-20 Animal Medical Center. There, I gained valuable experience and earned certifications in animal CPR and Vet Assistance. Since then, I have worked as a Vet Assistant at several reputable veterinary hospitals, while also dedicating my time to some community service at local shelters. I have an affinity for dogs of all sizes, ages, and temperaments. Whether they are 100-pound gentle giants or tiny teacup companions, young and energetic or wise and calm, I genuinely love them all. Most importantly, I can assure you that I will provide the same love and care to your dog as I do to my own pets. If your pup has specific dietary or medication needs, a history of illness or injury, or even long-term disabilities, I am the ideal caregiver for you. As a full-time pet care professional, I prioritize the safety and well-being of your pet above all else. Throughout our time together, I will keep you updated and provide you with high-quality pictures, offering you peace of mind knowing that your beloved pet is in capable hands. During my time with your pet, I will be by their side, ensuring their safety and providing them with company. I am highly aware of my surroundings, including other dogs, people, and most importantly, cars, when we venture outside the home. My own experiences of raising a dog and a cat have taught me to be familiar with their mischievous antics, making safety a natural instinct for me. Thank you for considering me as your pet sitter. I eagerly look forward to the opportunity to provide compassionate care and a welcoming environment for your beloved companion. Warm regards, David M. Pet Companion

David was awesome. Kept in great touch always. Walked and fed our two boys as requested. Respected our home. No complaints. Our boys loved him. Will book him again whenever we go on vacation or just need some walks and feeds. No complaints. Great guy.

David was reliable and attentive in caring for my cats, diligently followed instructions, and even helped with the house during a freeze. The little extras were much appreciated. He’s dependable and I’d happily recommend him to other pet owners.

Safety, trust & environment

If you need to be away from home for an extended period, my house sitting services provide a dependable and trustworthy presence in your home. I’ll take care of your plants, collect mail, and keep an eye on your home to give you peace of mind while you're away.

Information David M. would like to know about your pet

I would love to know about your pet's normal behaviors, health concerns, and a general overview of how you like things done in your home in order to tailor your pets experience for the most comfortable stay possible while you are away.

A typical day

An evening of housesitting typically involves taking your pet for an initial walk around the neighborhood to stretch their legs. Afterward, we return home for playtime and dinner. Depending on your pet's sleeping arrangements, they will be cuddled and made comfortable until the next morning when our day begins early and bright. We enjoy another walk together, followed by breakfast. During our walks, I appreciate the opportunity to explore the neighborhood alongside your pet and sometimes let them lead the way. I prioritize the well-being of pets who may not tolerate warm weather or extended walks by keeping a close watch on their comfort. Each visit is customized to meet your pet's individual needs, preferences, and daily routine. *Overnights are optional if you are more comfortable with extended visits instead. I’ll care for your pet and return home for the evening then return bright and early for breakfast and playtime.

I’m a full time pet sitter! Please let me know the specifics of your pets route and I’ll be sure to accommodate. I like to reflect how your pet gets time spent with them normally to ensure the most comfort during your time away.
