Pet care experience

Your Pet's New (Second) Best Friend

With 25 years of experience as a pet parent, I currently care for Mitta (the Kitta), Moose (a lovable Great Dane), and Nugget (my Heinz-57 mutt). As a proud pet-grandpa, I also have experience caring for a snake, an albino African clawed frog, and two hermit crabs. I understand just how special our furry (and not-so-furry) friends are, and I'm dedicated to ensuring they feel as comfortable and happy as possible while you're away!

Safety, trust & environment

When caring for pets in your home, I will follow your pet’s routine closely to maintain their comfort and routine as much as possible. I will make sure to secure all entry points, keep hazardous items out of reach, and respect your home as I would my own. I’m committed to earning your trust by keeping you updated with photos, messages, and any changes I notice in your pet’s behavior or health. Your pet's safety and happiness are always my top priority!

David was fabulous! Communicative and attentive, my two babies at home were well taken care of and loved during their drop ins! Thank you David, would book again!

David was great with Gracie. She tends to get stressed when we're away, but she didn't have any reaction this time which, for her, is a compliment! It’s such a relief to find someone she’s comfortable with. Highly recommend!

David was very attentive and caring to the needs of our furry family members. We were always updated with notes and photos and he kept them well fed, loved and looked after. He even took out all of the garbage and cleaned up. I wouldn’t trust my little zoo with anyone else, other than family, than with David. Thank you for letting us relax over our time away. I was able to it worry knowing they were so well taken care of.

Simply the best! He loves them like his own. Came home after 7 days to happy animals and a clean house!
