Experience and Care

Pet care experience

Hello! My name is David and I’ve been around dogs and cats my whole life! I grew up on a dairy farm in Southern California so also know my way around a tractor and hay barn! Rest assured that all your furry family members are in capable and caring hands. Also being a long time (17 years!!) resident of the Mission District, I'm familiar with many local dog friendly spots so that your dog will always be comfortable and well taken care of with dedicated service. I also love cats and have a special place (and patience) in my heart for all their own unique special needs and quirks! Flexible schedule allows me the flexibility to take last minute appointments and accommodate your busy life.

David has been absolutely amazing! This is the second time we’re asking him to help watch over our two cats and he has been absolutely wonderful. We’ve been struggling to feed them lately and gave him a very vague “please make sure they eat” instruction and he did such an amazing job making sure they get the right amount of food! He played with them, gave them medications, and took really great photos of them as well haha Our cats love him, highly recommend!!!!

David was kind, professional, communicative, and reliable. He came through for us without a lot of advance notice, and we felt very reassured knowing our dog was in his hands. Thank you!
