I'd describe my personality as kind, patient and reliable. I like working with animals because I enjoy communicating with them and have owned animals much of my life. I'm looking for work where I can build ongoing relationships with animals and provide a worry-free service. I started working with animals on a paid basis in 2022. I have owned dogs and cats for decades. In my spare time, I like to hike, travel, qi gong and keep up with technology. One thing you should know about me is I am dependable. My skills include communication, training, monitoring health and mood
David is a Pet Sitter Extraordinaire. I’ve entrusted David with the care of my rescued dog for several years now, and I can say with complete confidence that he is exceptionally well-suited for this role. Over the past two years in particular, he has cared for my dog during my annual two-week vacations, and each time, I’ve returned to a calm, happy, and well-cared-for pet. David is consistently punctual, dependable, and detail-oriented, which immediately builds a sense of trust. What truly sets him apart, however, is his calm and grounded presence—a quality that has had a visibly soothing effect on my dog, who can be quite anxious and insecure, especially around new people or changes in routine. He doesn’t just meet expectations—he anticipates needs, responds thoughtfully, and treats my dog with genuine care and respect. For any pet owner looking for someone they can fully trust, David is a rare find. His intuitive approach, combined with his steady reliability, makes him an ideal caregiver for pets who need not just structure, but also emotional reassurance.
