Pet care experience

Retired professor seeks dog to walk

Recently retired and petless at the moment, although I have almost always had a dog. I enjoy getting to know the personalities and needs of dogs and participating in their daily care needs, whether walking for exercise or potty breaks, socializing at home or the park, or ensuring they are fed and cared for when you aren’t available. I live in Belltown, so I’m available in adjacent neighborhoods of LQA, SLU, or downtown areas.

Doggy Day Care • Aug 20, 2026

I've recently relocated to Seattle for work, and while waiting for my residence to become available, I needed assistance with watching my dog, Fat Boi, during business hours. I connected with Keith, and he's been such a great help! Fat Boi is shy and very attached to me, he's prone to getting a little depressed when we aren't together, but Keith helps to enrich his days and gives him some extra socialization. Fat Boi gets to people watch out from the balcony, and go on walks to see the water, and enjoys some great snacks while hanging out with Keith! I'm grateful that he's been there to look after Fat Boi and give him attention while I'm at work. I'm a long way from home, and so is Fat Boi, and it's one less source of stress in this huge transition to have the peace of mind that my little fuzzy guy is being thoughtfully taken care of until we are reunited at the end of the day.

Drop-In Visits • Aug 09, 2026

Highly recommend Kevin. Meet and greet went well. Victoria just loves him. This was our first time using Rover and won’t be our last. Kevin was great with Victoria. We will definitely reach out to Kevin for future pup needs. Thank you, Kevin for a seamlessly process and most of our taking care of our precious little baby.

Keith is a kind and compassionate pet sitter who treats your pet as if they are his own. He is very communicative and will ensure you are able to relax when you are away knowing your pet is safe and cared for. I needed a sitter for my very energetic and slightly anxious dog, Amos and Keith was a godsend. I recommend him and would approach him again for pet watching.
