Safety, trust & environment

Whether your pet is independent or sticks to people like glue, I’ll do my upmost to make sure they’re happy and comfortable. I know how scary it can be to leave your furry friend in the hands of someone else, so I work my hardest to make sure I can be someone both you and your pet can rely on.

Information David R. would like to know about your pet

Let me know about any needs your pet may have, whether it be medicine or any physical limitations. I’d also like to know if they’re part piranha. I’m not against pets that nip, but I’d like to be prepared for it.

A typical day

I can cater to any pet’s needs. If they’re hyperactive and need a long walk? I can keep up. If they want to play fetch? I can throw a ball. If they’re a homebody and just want to sit on the couch? I can do that too. In fact that’s my favorite hobby.

Pet care experience

I have taken care of 3 huskies consistently in my life, namely my own dog Blu. I have also watched family friend’s pets over the years and love doing it.

Will definitely be asking David to watch my pets again. He sent messages and pictures daily and also gave each lots of attention and pets...they didn't want to see him go lol. The house was spotless even though the dogs were tracking in wet, sandy soil. David is a great young man, conscientious and obviously loves animals

David is the single most responsible sitter I’ve ever had on this app, over the last year. Consistent and has great communication skills. I highly recommend him to anyone looking for a sitter.

David was amazing with our two pups. Really impressed with all he did for them and taking care of our home. Daily updates were so great, along with pictures. Highly recommend him!

David did an outstanding job pet sitting/house sitting. David was timely, responsive, communicative, proactive, caring and considerate. By the pictures and communication I had with David over the course of the petsit I could tell my dog was happy and well cared. When I got home my dog was happy to see me but definitely not starving for attention. I actually think David has now set a new bar of expectation for my dog of me. I am absolutely going to use David again. I am actually looking forward to the traveling more knowing I will have peace of mind with David caring for my boy.

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.
