Pet care experience
★Your Friendly Neighborhood Walker★
Hi, David here. If you need your lovable pets cared for and want to setup a daily walker, sleepover, or visit two or three times a day I got you covered! I moved here about 8 years ago from San Marcos and found Austin to be a great place to live, as there are many places and events to go to which are also pet friendly :) About this sitter: I'm a vegan animal lover. I grew up with tons of dogs and know how much they mean to families, so I would never cause harm or keep them from being happy. A little about myself: Interests include: organic agriculture, natural medicine, playing guitar, home-cooking, brewing beer, local events. Music: Rock, metal, hip-hop, reggae, grunge, punk, classical. I'm always looking for new clients and animals to take care of for new experiences such as: horses, cattle, ducks, birds, goats and other exotic pets. I also have house sitting experience for long periods of time (month+) if that is necessary. Your pets will be in good hands with me as long as you don't mind someone spoiling them, and I have no problems with special requests or needs. Why I love dog sitting: You get to meet new people and cute waggly friends! When I was growing up we had about half a dozen dogs which we all loved. My favorite pet was my first dog that I named Rex, he was a lovable little Doberman that I always had fun playing with. My friend's Border Collie always goes crazy when I visit, she's always excited to see me and it's really tough to calm her down. I trained her to do some tricks for him while we were roommates as well. I have a 4-5 years experience sitting for pets (on the record) from various sites that accommodate sitters, and also family and friends; from the smallest ones (fish and Chinchillas) to the largest (Great Danes), and also chickens. My belief when you sit for somebody else's pet is; you're basically dropping off a family member to watch so you better treat them as such!

Safety, trust & environment
I'm currently not able to sit for pets in my condo apartment. Hopefully sometime soon in the future. But unfortunately I cannot at this time.
Ratings and reviews
David was great with Rupert. He was very patient with him. I would definitely recommend David for others!!
David communicated well, and helped us out last minute when we needed someone to walk Leo. Leo was tired and happy after the walk. Thank you, David!

David walked my dog everyday when I was out for 2 weeks and everything went well. Schatzie really likes him!

Dogs loved David and he did a great job at taking care of them while we were away for Thanksgiving! Very communicative and sent lots of updates and pictures :)


Otto really enjoyed his walks with David. Otto was very excited every time David came to walk him. David was flexible, punctual, and highly communicative. We would definitely hire David again to walk Otto.

David was very sweet with my dog. Thanks :-)

Schedule
I'm currently unemployed so plenty of free time for pups! As I recently moved back to Austin after a 1.5 year hiatus from helping my father whom is a disabled veteran with Parkinson/Dementia that had a stroke in Michigan.
