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.

Lupin had a wonderful vacation with Keith! Keith provided plenty of pictures and videos of their adventures. Thank you!
Dezi and I adore Keith! She was nervous her first day being dropped off but now after a few days she is SO excited to pull up to his building! He sends pics throughout the day to share their walks, their snuggles, whatever the day held. If you’re like me and was nervous to book with a man, there’s nothing to be nervous about with Keith, he’s genuinely a kind and caring human who will love on your furry friend as his own 🫶
Keith was incredible as a dog sitter for my 14 year old dog with a number of ailments. So many pictures were shared that I did not feel like I missed out on being with my pet. He was very well cared for with meds, eye drops and his need to be walked in a dog stroller all the time. Thank you Keith. Wish I could leave him with you on my upcoming trip as well.
Keith was fantastic with Suede! He consistently sent us photos and kept us in the loop. Suede enjoyed sniffing around in nearby parks. Keith also assisted with Suede’s reactivity training during walks. I would definitely recommend him!
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.
Keith was great! He communicated so well and took great care of my dog!
