Behaviorist Keeps Pets Safe&Sound

Pet care experience

I have been an Animal Behaviorist for over 10 years. I have strong background in animal behaviorism and vet technical science which led to my current secondary behavioral psychology with children who are neurodivergent (on the spectrum); for which patience and attentiveness is my greatest characteristics. I’m also a pet fanatic. I grew up with never not having a cat or dog in the house and that benefited me greatly. Some people baby sit, I cat and dog sit at a very young age. I haven a depth of understanding from kittens/puppies to seniors and everything in between. I feel it’s just not my own education, temperament, skills along with love for this work — it’s that I understand the distress that arises when both your pet and yourself endure when your separated…. I can comfort those two dichotomies with perfection.

You hit the jackpot if you have found David. A loving person, an awesome dog walker. I profess, he'd take a bullet for our dog. I say this because he is caring, responsible, trustworthy, and dependable. His services are far beyond and he does go the extra mile to make sure that there is no fears or worry when you have signed a contract with him. I know you will like and trust him too. xoxo

Reliable. My cat and dog are so happy when they are in their care with him. I had some issues with teething and potty issues l, and he was able to fix them in a jiffy. I was amazed. You get a trainer and sitter all in one. You can sense he has a magical appeal about himself that my pets just love. A golden Pet Caregiver in every sense of the word. I would whole heartedly recommend him to anyone and all my friends who have used his services are always so pleased.

I feel complete security when I leave and my pet is cared for well. Very professional. Deeply cares, always quick to my inquiries about sitting when I need or for walks. Nothing like having a peace of mind when your away. Thank you David!

Safety, trust & environment

I’m adaptive; so I’m very workable with what is most comfortable to you and your pet. Every pet family is different. So I like to chat or meet, offer you are stress-free assessment process that I have manicured on a “behavioral level” that you know that your pets are safely taken care of. For example, in the field of behaviorism, there is a concept of SCC, where I chart and do some statistical analysis in case of separation anxiety and then provide the remedies. This is just limited to this specific behavioral issue- it’s just a common relative example and glad to share it and implement it when necessary. Your pets become my extended family- so I allow your pets the freedom and liberty for them to do what’s most common for them in their daily life. We can inventory these aspects and I will make sure that stays active so that there is minimum stress. Feeding, playtime, laboratory services of relief, medication delivery, and other services can be arranged to the schedule your pet is most accustomed to when your there with them. I’m easily flexible with your requests. Safety and Sound is my anthem with this service - so I will keep you informed of detailed updates, pictures and videos along with anything that may arise. I have seen just about everything in my early days as a vet tech, so you can feel a great sense of trust when choosing me as your Pet Guide. I’m eager to meeting both you and your furry love one!

I currently provide online consults on training and ABA-based training to both felines and canines. Currently working on my doctoral part-time, so I’m able to be flexible to care for your pets in my many moments of “in-between” time and I absolutely love it and enjoy being a continued resource for you, your family (including your fur babies!)
