Pet care experience

Reliable WFH Downtown Pet Sitter

I’ve cared for all kinds of pets over the years, cats with special diets and medications, senior dogs, and even a pup with cancer who needed a little extra love. I’m comfortable handling pets with unique needs and always make it a priority to keep them feeling safe and cared for. Since I work from home, I can give your pet plenty of attention throughout the day, whether it’s sticking to their routine or just hanging out and getting to know their personality. I like to keep communication open with pet owners, ask lots of questions, and make sure you feel confident while you’re away. For me, it’s all about making your pet feel as happy and comfortable as possible.

David was a great sitter for our Rosie. He was very responsive to our request and during his stay, he took wonderful care of both our dog and home. We'll definitely seek out David for our future sits.

David did a great job with Kona! She is dog aggressive and an old lady dealing with arthritis but he had no issues watching her while we were away. Would recommend!

David was great! Very communicative and always responded quickly. Cosmo has a high energy level and David was great taking out for several daily walks and to the dog park! Picked up a very happy dog

David was great. Oliver isn’t the easiest dog to handle sometimes and David made him feel right at home while we were away. So great to have him as an option to watch him!

Safety, trust & environment

My apartment has space in the living room and kitchen where pets an relax, vibe, and play. I stick to their routines and give them plenty of attention, and respect any rules or boundaries you set for them and your home. I also keep communication open and send updates, so you can feel confident your pet is well cared for.

A typical day

A typical day with me includes plenty of time for your pet to play, relax, and feel at home. Depending on their needs, we’ll go for walks, play with their favorite toys, or just hang out and unwind. I make sure to stick to their routine while adding in extra cuddles and attention to keep them happy and comfortable. Every pet is different, so I’ll tailor activities to what they enjoy most!

It’s important for me to know your pet’s potty schedule so I can stick to their routine and avoid any accidents. I also like to know about their feeding times, any specific behaviors, medical needs, or preferences to make sure they’re comfortable and cared for exactly how they’re used to.
