House Sitting • May 11, 2026

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.

Dog Walking • Aug 18, 2025

David was excellent. He gave my husky a great walk and left her worn out afterwards, which is saying a lot since she has a LOT of energy. Definitely recommend!

David is someone who we always call when we have to go out of town for our 2 huskies. Our pups are part of the family and we have witnessed first hand how David treats them and it’s just like that, like if they were his family. He is very thoughtful and loves to not just make sure they’re okay but goes above and beyond to add a personal touch to his visit. He leaves a cute little picture of them over the weekends he watches them on our fridge. We couldn’t recommend him enough!

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.
