Animal Lover with Vet Experience

Pet care experience

Hi! I'm Keegan. I’m an animal lover who grew up taking care of shih tzus, labs, and cats. I've spent my entire life taking care of pets, and I can't wait to meet yours! I am looking for regular dog waking clients, Monday-Thursday/Friday. I offer solo walks and lead group walks and play groups in Prospect Park for smaller dogs. I have years of experience walking dogs full time in the city, and I have prior experience working in a veterinary clinic and boarding facility. The summer after my freshman year of college, I got a job at a veterinary hospital and boarding facility as the sole kennel staff employee. In the boarding facility, I walked every dog twice a day, fed them, cleaned up, bathed and helped groom them. In the animal hospital, I administered medicine and comforted any scared dogs or cats. I worked with dogs who were recovering from illness, dealing with chronic issues, and nearing the end of their lives. I also cared for a couple dozen cats and dogs who lived full-time at the facility. In 2017, I joined a foster program with Young Williams in Knoxville to help board dogs from shelters that were over-capacity during tropical storm season. I fostered Wheezy, a five-year-old pit bull, and eventually found him a loving home. I pet sat for friends, classmates, and coworkers through college and beyond. Before I moved to New York, I left my government job and started working full time as a dog walker in Nashville. I have been walking dogs and doing pet care full time since 2020, with over a year of experience in NYC. I have worked with dogs with special needs, geriatric animals, and others with various health conditions--from hip dysplasia to cancer. I know firsthand that our pets are cherished parts of our homes and families. No matter where I am or what I'm doing, I'm passionate about making sure any pet I am around is safe, comfortable, and happy.

Whitaker had a wonderful time with Keegan! We’ve had trouble with walkers in the past, but seeing how patient and sweet Keegan was with our boy made it easy to trust him. I’m recommending him to all our Park Slope neighbors!

This was the fourth time we trusted Keegan with taking care of our cat. He’s the best!

We were very nervous about using Rover for the first time, and leaving our young cat alone for the first time in her whole life (thanks to the pandemic). Keegan went above and beyond to make us feel comfortable and took great care of her. He even stayed a bit longer than necessary in the first few days in order to bond more quickly. He shared daily updates, with pictures and videos. We could tell she grew very fond of him. 100% recommend to other pet owners and will be rebooking next time we’re out of town! Thanks Keegan!

A typical day

I walk different routes depending on your dog’s needs. I live between Fort Greene and Prospect Park, and I love walking through either park to enjoy nature and meet other pup friends. I’m currently leading small dog play groups in Prospect Park, consisting of two hours of walking, sniffing, playing, and exploring nature in the park. I have experience walking dogs that are not social or friendly with other pets, so I am happy to offer solo walks as well.
