Luke had the best experience, and I truly couldn’t have asked for anything more. Communication was consistent, clear, and thoughtful from start to finish, which gave me real peace of mind while I was away. It was obvious Luke was genuinely cared for and not just watched. I came home to a happy, relaxed dog, which says everything. I would absolutely trust David again and highly recommend him to anyone looking for someone reliable, kind, and professional.

Schedule

I work from home. I’m able to build pet care into my daily routine with consistent time windows for visits. I’m reliable with repeat bookings and flexible when planned ahead, and I’ll communicate clearly if anything ever changes.

Safety, trust & environment

Safety and trust are my top priorities. In a client’s home, I follow your routine closely: feeding instructions, litter schedule, and any house preferences while keeping things clean and calm. I always double check doors, windows, and gates, keep cats safely inside, and make sure food/water areas stay tidy. I also send consistent photo/video updates so you feel fully in the loop.

A typical day

A typical visit starts with a quick hello and a check that everything looks normal (food, water, litter habits). Then we’ll do fresh water/feeding as needed, potty breaks, and spend quality time together based on your pet’s personality: playtime with wand toys/laser, brushing, window watching, or calm lap time. I end each visit with a tidy up and a photo/video update so you know how it went.

David can host up to 3 pets per night
Before your time away, I love to learn your pet’s routine (feeding schedule, treats, and litter setup), plus their personality whether they’re social, shy, or slow to warm up and what comforts them most. Please share any medical needs, diet sensitivities, or behavior notes (like escape risk at the door or stress triggers) so I can keep them safe and relaxed. I also like to know where supplies are kept and your preferred vet/emergency contact, and I’m happy to match your update style with consistent photo/video check-ins.
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.
