Pet care experience
I have owned and cared for dogs my entire life. At the age of 8, I started walking neighbors dogs and taking care of their needs while families went away on vacation. I am familiar and comfortable with taking care of all of their needs and am fully prepared for any emergency situation that presents itself. I worked as a dog sitter/walker all the way up until college when I moved out to Los Angeles. Since being here, I've rescued my own dog named Barron from a traumatic animal shelter situation. Despite his physical & behavioral issues (hip dysplasia & growling), he has come leaps and miles and is now the sweetest, friendliest dog around (with my rehabilitation he has also learned to walk better and can now hike!). I have worked as an animal educator and caretaker for a mobile zoo, and taken care of animals ranging from farm animals to exotics. I'm comfortable with dogs of all sizes and personalities. I will go the extra mile to make sure your dog is getting all the care he needs. Dogs are our best friends and they deserve the best, I promise to provide the best care possible!
Reviews
I'm so grateful to Keith for walking my Trixie while I'm gone all day at work! What attracted me to him was his extensive experience and ability to work with somewhat difficult dogs. He did not disappoint! I appreciate the photos of my old girl on her walks, too! Thanks, Keith! We'll be calling you again soon!
If you are looking for a compassionate, conscientious caregiver for your dog, Keith is the guy to call! We never have to worry about the quality of care that our dogs receive with Keith. He is reliable, knowledgeable and doesn’t hesitate to give us updates via text messages or notes left at the house. We have been using Keith as our pet sitter for more than a year and highly recommend him. Our dogs are happy and we have piece of mind.
Keith is a very trusted, hard working, kind man. He was very considerate of all my worries as a dog owner and had an absolute blast watching, Max. Everytime I go on a business trip, I always have Keith watch Max. I couldn’t ask for a better sitter.
About Keith J.
Communication
Skills
Information Keith J. would like to know about your pet
I would like to know if he/she has any significant quirks I should be aware of (ex. barking at pedestrians or bicyclists, trying to attack other dogs, etc.). I'm comfortable with all breeds and temperaments and will adjust accordingly. My ultimate goal is to make sure both you and your dog are comfortable and happy!
A typical day
I usually allow dogs to follow their nose and go with them in whichever direction they want to explore. A walk is their time to get outside and get fresh air so I don't want to spoil it for them. I will pull them away from anything that might cause harm and am diligent about paying attention to our surroundings. If possible, I'd love to take them to parks or on a brief hike.
