Hi, I’m David — a 27-year-old artist living in Dublin and working as a café supervisor. I’ve always loved animals and have a lot of experience caring for them. My Siamese cat, Merlin, lives with me here, while my Australian Shepherd, Cora, is still back in Slovakia with family. I miss her a lot, which is one of the reasons I enjoy pet sitting — it gives me the chance to spend time with animals and care for them as if they were my own.

I always make sure to talk with the pet owner beforehand to go over all the important details — routines, preferences, quirks — and we agree on everything before I start. I’m based around Glasnevin, which is ideal, but I’m happy to travel elsewhere in Dublin too.

Caring for pets brings me real joy, and I always aim to make sure they feel safe, relaxed, and loved.
