Highlights
Pet care experience
Dogs Are Family Here!
Growing up, our dogs weren't "pets." They had names, opinions, and their own spot on the couch. That's just how we did it, and that's exactly how I treat every dog in my care. I have real experience across the full spectrum of dog needs. Puppies who haven't figured out their own legs yet? Handled with patience and a lot of laughs. Senior dogs who need a slower pace, a softer touch, and maybe some help at medication time? Honestly, that's one of my favorite ways to spend an afternoon. Dogs with behavioral challenges or special needs don't make me hesitate. They make me pay closer attention. I've fostered young dogs and worked with strays to socialize them from fearful to fully adoptable. That kind of work teaches you things no training manual covers. Reading subtle body language. Building trust from scratch. Knowing when a dog needs excitement and when they need quiet. Every dog that comes through my door gets treated like family. Not like a booking. If you want to talk through what your dog needs before committing to anything, I genuinely love those conversations. Reach out!

Ratings and reviews
Kay took very good care of Lily and if our home for five days. My cat Lily takes a long time to warm up to new people and this was his first time caring for her. His experience caring for cats was obvious with a different things he did to earn her trust, which gave me peace of mind while I was away. He was responsive to my inquiries and communicated daily. I would definitely hire him again!
Honest and trustworthy. Would highly recommend to anyone.
Wonderful, he took special care of both my dogs - one high energy and the other lazy bones and made sure the both got the attention they needed! My house was neat and tidy when I got home and I knew they were well loved while I was home! Thank you!!!!
Kay took wonderful care of our home and dogs. Great with communication. He made our trip stress-free. Thanks so much!
I feel completely at ease leaving our pups with Kay. He is calm and attentive to our two big dogs that have extremely different personalities and energy levels. He is great with knowing their needs and keeps them engaged. I received text updates and photos everyday. I’m happy everything went well and confident I will use his services again. Plus, the dogs love him!
Kay was awesome and my dogs loved him. I will definitely use his services again!

Schedule
My schedule is genuinely flexible. I work from home running my own businesses, which means I'm not squeezing your dog into a lunch break. Morning walks, midday check-ins, late pickups. I take one client at a time, so your pet isn't competing for attention with a houseful of other dogs. The day actually wraps around them.
Where your pet will stay
Home characteristics
Safety, trust & environment
My home is a house with a fenced yard in Green Valley South. Dogs are welcome on the furniture and the bed. That's not a policy. It's just how we live. When I'm at your place instead, your pet's routine stays exactly as you left it. Same schedule, same rules, same spots. I'm there to look after your pet, not redecorate their life.
Pets
A typical day
Mornings start in the backyard. Off-leash time first, before the day heats up. After that we come in and they have free run of the house. Furniture is fair game, the couch is open, and nobody gets crated and forgotten. I work from home, so I'm genuinely present all day. Not checking in between meetings. Actually there. Afternoons depend on the dog. Some want another yard session, some want a walk through the neighborhood, some just want to park next to me while I work. I read the cues and follow their lead. By evening we've usually figured each other out pretty well.

- A few things genuinely help me before we meet: any history of reactivity, resource guarding, or anxiety around new people or animals. Medical needs, medications, and feeding schedule. Whether your dog has spent time with cats before. How they handle being separated from you and whether they've ever bolted from a yard. None of this disqualifies your dog. It just helps me prepare the right environment and introduction. The more I know upfront, the better the stay goes for everyone. I'd rather over-communicate before the booking than figure it out after drop-off.
