Pet care experience

I do this for the dogs

As a college student on summer break I will be able to give your pets my undivided attention. I grew up with a Golden Retriever and a Jack Russell Terrier and I became their primary caretakers as they and I got older. Taking care of an old, almost immobile 15 year old golden retriever and the younger ball of energy Jack Russell Terrier was a challenge but through it I learned how to handle the most extreme of pet scenarios. I have also cared for other dogs such as a Cane Corso, French Bulldog, Siberian Husky and more. I truly do love dogs. Now that my childhood dogs have crossed the rainbow bridge I want to help reassure pet parents that their dogs are thriving so they don't have to worry while occupied by other obligations. I will also gladly take your dog(s) with me on hikes or adventures around the DC monuments. I’ll provide you with pictures that are worthy of being put on your fridge!

Safety, trust & environment

I live in a spacious dog-friendly apartment (apartment does not allow Chow Chow, Rottweiler Doberman, German Shepard, Pit Bull, Siberian Huskie, Akita, Alaskan malamute, Shar Pei, Saint Bernard) with a dog park and multiple other parks close by. If you let your dogs on the furniture then I can too, if not, then I will not. If you crate your dog, I can crate them also. If you have any routine you would like me to do with your dog I will be happy to do it. For example, if I need to give them their medication, wash their face folds (bulldogs) or brush their teeth with dog friendly toothpaste then I will. Any stipulations you have for your dogs for the duration of their stay or my visit I will be happy to do upon request.

Kai was amazing with our dogs. Rafa is usually slow to warm but he like Kai right away. And when these tourists got lost and were so late he stayed well after the agreed time. He did great walking them and keeping them entertained.

Kai was great with our dog, and took good care of our place as well. We’ve already got him booked again!

Amazing! Kai took such great care of my dog; gave him a ton of attention and took him out to meet his family which was very sweet. Rio seemed to have a blast with him, I will absolutely be using Kai again in the future. Thank you!
