Pet care experience

Premium, tailored dog & cat care

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!

I’m a new Rover mama. Our daughter told me about this company after returning from the kennel we planned to leave our beloved Luna Parson Russell. I was crying and was not happy to see her locked up in a kennel all day/all night. Our vacation was 5 days away and I just happened to ask for a tour. We normally just have grooming done and we love them! David was a complete pleasure and Luna warmed up to him quickly which was not expected. We were vacationing far away in Utah and David gave us all the details on what he was doing plus perfect pictures!! Loved it! I was super impressed!!

Another great experience with David. He just watched our two dogs for 14 days. And it seems like they were very happy at his home. Each day he sent me pictures that shows me that they’re happy. He’s the best don’t be afraid to use him, just not on my dates.

Thank you David so much. You welcomed our dog, Finxley, with so much grace and can tell you loved and treated her so well. She arrived a bit nervous and left with a big smile, a wagging tail, and even tried to stay a little longer. Her breed can be difficult to manage but you made us feel so at ease with the pictures and nice comments. We felt comfortable with going away and definitely recommend you David, as you will be our go to pup sitter. You are kind and compassionate and that energy is the best to have for this work and in this world. Finxley misses your presence already. Thank you again :)

Very friendly! David knows his dogs! It’s obvious he truly cares! 🐾 He’s the one he hope will be available on our schedules… if not, we’ll probably change our schedule! ❤️🐾

David truly understood the assignment while watching my Maui. Sent plenty videos/pictures to make sure we knew she was safe. Kept me updated about her meds and her bowel movements as well. 10/10. Will book again for sure!!

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.
