Safety, trust & environment

I have a big fenced in yard for dogs that don’t like the leash or don’t need a full walk to do their business. Our house has a relatively open floor plan on the first floor where my office is so pups are able to meander and lounge easily without getting too far away. I can also work in the backyard when the weather and work allows. I can set up in the kitchen by the bay window to watch them in the yard while I’m still inside as well.

Information Keith M. would like to know about your pet

I like to know the dog’s typical routine and diet and try to match it. The usual things I ask about are: Any allergies or food/treat restrictions? How they do with other dogs? How do they do with children? (We have a baby) What’s their sleeping arrangement (have a bed, in our bed, in a crate, etc)? Any do’s or don’ts with pets or handling?

A typical day

My work days are rarely stacked with calls so I can easily let dogs out into the yard when needed or give them the pets and attention they need during the day. I try to go for a good long walk on lunch and after work. If the dog doesn’t mind cars, happy to drive to a dog park or out for a hike. On the weekends we typically try to take the dogs for drives out to state parks or new fields but are just as happy to lounge inside with lap dogs.

Former old pup owner,loves all dogs

Pet care experience

I’m the first friend offering to dogsit for my friends and have looked after several over the years: young, old, big, small, each with their own ridiculous personality. I took care of our own elderly pup (before his passing) so I’m experienced with sneaking meds to reluctant four legged recipients.

Keith is an excellent caretaker who knows dogs and easily handled my two dogs. He has a large fenced backyard but also walked the dogs. He stayed in communication. I would not hesitate to use him again in the future.

Rocco had a great time with Keith. Everyday he would send us pictures of the various activities. I feel confident leaving Rocco with him for long period of days.

Keith took great care of our dogs. They probably got more exercise in 2 days then they get in a week with us. They were exhausted after spending time playing and going on walks with Keith and his family! Highly recommend using Keith whenever you can!!
