Safety, trust & environment

I do my utmost to ensure routines are strictly followed to reduce the stress on the animal as much as possible. Each pet is different in regards to hands on interaction but I do my best to give them a calming and fulfilling experience during what can be a stressful time.

Information David M. would like to know about your pet

Temperament, energy levels, reactivity, food preferences, medical needs, general likes and dislikes. Anything you can give me to make your animal feel safer and calmer.

A typical day

I will take them to hiking trails (provided they would enjoy that) and I love to get them to areas they can safely be off leash. Toys, pets, cuddles, or space to themselves are all things I am happy to do.

David is wonderful and our kitty was so happy with him. We'll ask him to sit every time we're out of town going forward.

The dogs were happy and calm when we returned. The house was clean. I would definitely use David again.

Each sitter joining Rover needs to pass a background check. And by booking on Rover, you can get photo & message updates, 24/7 support, and reimbursement for eligible vet care.
