I enjoy lots of time outside every day. I have a fully fenced backyard and love to garden. If my dogs are not in the backyard - they come for walks around the block for exercise!

Willing to love your pups!

Pet care experience

Hi my name is David and I’m a full time dad to my autistic son and baby girl! I am a true dog lover and have been in the dog watching business for 8 years and have plenty of experience. I have two dogs Piper and Mocha Bear - who have been around many dogs. I would love to own more pups but for the time being I foster dogs for a local non profit and take dogs on walks at the local animal shelter. When I am not caring for animals, or my children, I work weekends at the local movie theater. My wife works from home - so animals are never left alone. I can administer medication for your animal and have also given insulin shots and pain medicine if needed. I am ready and willing to care for your dogs anytime you need me to do.

My diabetic cat is extremely skittish and excellent at hiding. David had to track her down to administer her medication everyday, which I greatly appreciate. However, we did have a couple of issues. I had to remind David to take the litter box waste to the outdoor trash, rather than storing in a trashcan next to the litter boxes. When I arrived home I found that the slow feeder I use to measure carb intake for the cats hadn't been opened for them to access the food. David thought he had forgot to open it and it had been "a couple of days". While the cats had access to other food in an autofeeder, I had told David I was concerned about ketone levels and the slow feeder should be filled daily. Both cats were healthy when I arrived home, but I was surprised to run into these issues with an experienced pet sitter.

I was disappointed with last day of a drop in. Friday morning David sent a picture that he left the key under the doormat. He admitted that we never discussed this but said earliest he could go back to get it was Saturday night or Sunday morning. 2 days. I said forget it since I’d be back late Sunday afternoon. When I returned, the front door was completely unlocked. David didn’t reply to my text notifying him.

Rachel, Dave’s partner, did a wonderful job looking after our senior special needs cat! She gave subcutaneous injections twice a day and gave us lots of pictures and updates about our sweet boy. She also accepted this job VERY last minute and we appreciate it greatly. Very friendly and professional - we will absolutely be using her as our go-to kitty sitter. ☺️
