Pet care experience

Hi, I’m David. As a lifelong animal lover, providing dedicated, high-quality pet care is very much second nature to me. I understand firsthand the deep bond we share with our animals—a bond I thoroughly enjoyed for nearly 13 unforgettable years with my Cavalier King Charles Spaniel. Because I work remotely and typically enjoy a flexible schedule, your pet will have constant companionship, individual attention, and seamless supervision throughout the day. Whether they are boarding at my place or I am house-sitting at yours, they will never be a secondary priority. I treat every guest like a member of my family. Whether your pet thrives on active walks, playful energy, or just quiet companionship, they will enjoy a relaxing, boutique stay tailored entirely to their normal routine. I know how tough it is to be away from your fur baby, so I am fully committed to keeping you connected with photos, videos, and text updates as often as you prefer. For your convenience, I also offer same-day appointments and make every effort to accommodate your schedule. I look forward to meeting you and your pet!

David is fabulous. He took wonderful care of my two fur babies while we went on a trip. David gave medication to my Oliver daily. Cared for them lovingly. They loved him back. Gave me morning and evening pictures with comments about each of them. We couldn’t ask for a better person to care for them when we really needed someone.

David was very patient and very pleasant towards Maui. I had no fear trusting him with little bear. Constant updates assuring she was doing well. Will be using him again for sure!!

Another save by Dave! I was hesitant about leaving both of my boys at someone else's home, but Dave immediately put my mind at ease. From the very beginning, he showed genuine kindness, patience, and understanding. As a pet owner himself, he truly understands animals and what it takes to make both pets and their owners feel comfortable. I'm so glad I trusted him because it was a total success! My boys were happy, relaxed, and so well cared for from the moment they arrived. Dave has such a calm, easygoing nature that they treated him like family and settled right in. Knowing they were safe, loved, and comfortable gave me complete peace of mind. I wouldn't hesitate to trust Dave again and highly recommend him to anyone looking for someone who will care for their pets as if they were his own.

I’m can’t say enough about how pleased we are with the care David provided for our girls. David provided continuous communication on how Daisy and Phoebe were doing, their eating habits, behavior, etc. and sent several pictures of our girls so we could see how they were. If you’re looking for someone to care for your furry family members, he’s a wonderful choice.
