Pet care experience

I have just met you and I love you!

I am an active 31-year-old pet owner who lives for the mutual love and joy between a boy and his dog. With 17 years, 4 dogs, and 3 cats’ worth of an ever-deepening connection with domestic canines and felines of all breeds, I am your man to help ensure the health, safety, and contentment of your home and your furry loved-one(s). My upbringing as a pet owner is responsible for my belief that positive reinforcement, a gentle hand, a happy voice, fun walks, and belly rubs are the best ways to earn your furry guardian’s love and respect. Such experience has also ingrained my familiarity with the routines, chores, and clean-up habits inherent to raising a pet within a clean, livable home. My prior experience house-sitting for friends, family, and colleagues has also taught me the fundamental courtesies for tending another person/family's home. Our only complaint will be needing to say good-bye!

We just moved to Seattle from Chicago and needed to find a new trustworthy sitter for our very active 2 year old Doberman and our cat. David was amazing with both our pets and made them feel very comfortable while we were gone. He was very responsive and provided us with many photos and updates leaving us with nothing to worry about while we were away. He also left our home in perfect condition as he was staying with the pets for a few days. Highly recommend him and will definitely be using him again in the future 😊

David was a wonderful pet sitter. He was very punctual, attentive, respectful, and proactive with our dog and cat. He took very good care of the pets by walking and playing with them as much as he could. I'm sure they cannot wait to see him again.

David was fantastic. Very attentive, communicative, and he left the house (and animals) in great shape. Will definitely hire him again.

David was great! The dogs clearly loved him immediately. He was very communicative, sending pictures often. The house was clean and tidy when we returned. We will use David again!

David was a great dog sitter. Well engaged with the dogs and was sure to keep in touch with pictures and updates throughout his stay. Definitely will be booking him again.

I’m a crazy dog mom so I’m always a bit weary to have someone new watch my dogs. The meet and great was helpful and he even showed me how he walks dogs (as my neighbors previously mentioned other sitters were not as nice). David made me feel so comforted knowing my house and boys were taken care of. I didn’t feel the need to “check-in” or make sure everything was OK as I was getting a perfect amount of updates with pictures. My boys went swimming, running and even to the dog park. I even came home to a clean house! Major bonus points. Best dog sitter I’ve used for far. Thanks so much, David!

Medical conditions, vaccinations, contact information for your veterinarian are essential, thank you very much (these do NOT affect my willingness to dog-sit your pooch, but are vital to ensuring his/her safety). I would appreciate other helpful information as well, such as your pet's normal daily routine, feeding habits, behavioral quirks and temperament with people and other animals, favorite activities, the best way to wash him/her, and an honest house-training assessment.
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.
