About Dustin K.

Skills
Safety, trust & environment
I am an avid walker and runner on both roadways and more natural settings. I am able to keep your pets crated or free-ranging in my apartment as needed. I do not have a fenced yard, but I am happy to take your dogs to a dog park if the dog does well in those environments.
Information Dustin K. would like to know about your pet
Please let me know if your pets have any special needs or environmental triggers that I should be aware of to keep them happy and safe.
A typical day
The long and short of it: I will spoil your pet! I will take your dog for walks or runs based on pets needs and abilities. I will also play the pets favorite games several times a day. If your pet likes to be social with other dogs (e.g., at a dog park or with neighborhood dogs), I can accommodate this as well.

Reviews
Great having Dustin back to house sit our dog, Finley, for a week! Do appreciate his updates and photos and he is great at leaving the house tidy when he leaves and our high energy dog nice and tired out! Look forward to having him take care of Finley again in the future!
Dustin was an old acquaintance of mine so I already knew that he’s a kind and wonderful person. I did NOT know that he’s also a puppy whisperer (though not surprised!). Dustin took care of our energetic 4 month-old great pyr/retriever puppy while we were away for a week. He kept her company within his flexible work schedule. She was happy and engaged, safe and healthy. He also kept her space tidy, vacuumed before we got back, and did our mail and trash. He communicated daily over text with pics and updates on how she was doing, which helped us to miss her a little less. :) Dustin is 100% reliable and a stand-up guy. Highly recommend!
Dustin is excellent. Very communicative, and our pup and home are always sparkling and happy when we return. He stepped up when we had to postpone our return and was kind and flexible. He also may be the best dog photographer out there??
Love having Dustin take care of our little guy! We always feel so at ease with our dog in his care!
