David did a great job pet sitting. He accommodated a last minute booking so we could go out of town Labor Day weekend. David sent photo updates throughout the day and was very easy to communicate with. Our dogs were very happy when we got home and the house was clean. Highly recommend!

David was wonderful with Galileo and we couldn't be happier with how our dog was handled during his stay. We received plenty of updates, cute photos and assurance that our dog was in great hands. I feel so lucky to have found David!

David was amazing. He was extremely accommodating, showed true compassion and love to my dogs and was extremely responsive to my requests and proactive with updates. Can't recommend David enough. He cares about you and he cares about your dogs.
