Dog-loving down-to-earth adventurer
Pet care experience
I grew up with two big dogs and a weinerdog, and never stopped loving being around animals! Since high school, I have watched neighbors' and friends' dogs for extended holidays, providing overnight care and attention, including bathroom breaks and middle-of-the-night attention for those dogs who need some reassurance or comforting. I understand that every dog is unique, with their own understanding of how things work and I am very attentive to adjusting to such needs. This includes senior dogs with additional support requirements. I am on Rover to fill the dog-void since moving here from the mountains, and to make sure people's furry friends are taken care of while they are out on adventures!
Reviews
Clayton is a responsible and collected individual as well as an exceptionally capable person. Growing up in a household with many diverse dogs has given him the ability to work with these animals in a nuanced way. Our two rescue dogs are still a bit skittish around people, but Clayton has worked to accommodate them by modifying his style of entering the house and developing trust with them. I highly recommend him as a caretaker for your fur babies.
About Clayton K.
Skills
Safety, trust & environment
I prefer to sit dogs close to my own home to make sure I can be completely responsive to the dogs needs, and never more than a few minutes away in case I need to run out for anything.
Information Clayton K. would like to know about your pet
I like to know about a dog's personality, energy levels, special requirements, and favorite activities. Food schedules and any brushing requirements are important as well.
A typical day
We will walk around the neighborhood, and through Meridian Hill Park or Rock Creek for more active dogs. Happy to take dogs I know better to known dog meetup locations as well.

Availability
I am in-office on Tuesday/Thursday, but otherwise available to care for pups! I work remotely M/W/F and take frequent breaks to take the dogs out on potty breaks, as well as a lunchtime walk.
