Pet satisfaction, guaranteed!

Pet care experience

Hey there 👋 the name is David. Long time owner and caregiver of animals. I’ve interacted with many dog and cat breeds of varying sizes and temperaments throughout the years. I currently work closely with rescue organizations to neuter/spay, socialize and eventually adopt out feral cats. I’ve also cared for injured and displaced wildlife such as owls and raccoons!

Safety, trust & environment

When house sitting, I am open to stay the entire night and day while taking on smaller house duties like putting the trash out or watering plants. I can also do JUST overnighters or just morning to night stays. This would be wholly dependent on your own preferences and we can discuss this further to come to an agreement! For the time that I am with your loved ones, their wellbeing will always be my top priority. I have no particular bias towards any pet. If they are difficult to work with, I will approach them with caution and respect. I will never pretend to be special by expecting every single animal to show me love, but I will always love them as if they were my own. We will always be in touch—sending you updates whenever possible or when requested. Your ease of mind is just as important to me as their safety!

Information David R. would like to know about your pet

If your pet has any special requirements or follows a strict routine, I am happy to sit down and discuss it in length with you so I can give them the best service possible. My only medical experience is administering topical medication to cats, but again, I am open to learn new things!

A typical day

I am a firm believer in keeping pets stimulated with walks, playful fighting, challenging activities or just casual conversation with belly rubs. So much so that your pet will likely find me annoying after a while :p

Availability

I am currently a caretaker for a family member. I work alongside other people and I do not have any set hours so my schedule is very flexible. Aside from the occasional doctor appointment, I will almost always be available, including for short notice calls.
