A lifetime of experience!

Pet care experience

I have been known for my love of canines since I was a young boy. All of my life, dogs have been members of my family. I am the owner of a local carpet and office cleaning company and certified to clean oriental rugs and upholstery, so no mess is too big for me to handle. Every year I house sit for over 7 days for a family with 5 dogs and a cat. I make sure the house and yard are fresh upon their return. Because of my cleaning business, I am trusted to be in homes and high security buildings without supervision. Your vacation or business trip can be stress-free, and you will have peace of mind knowing that I am taking care of your pet(s) and property.

I was so happy to have discovered Keith and Ruth through the Rover app! I have two dachshunds, one of whom is very old and easygoing but now a bit senile and incontinent and the other timid and neurotic. I worry about leaving them with new people because they can be somewhat burdensome, what with the one that needs to go out in the middle of the night and the other who trembles if you look at her sideways. But Ruth was incredibly patient and put them -- AND ME! -- at ease while I was traveling for work, quickly taking it all in stride. I came back to happy dogs and a tidy house. What more could you ask for? I would book again in a heartbeat. THANK YOU!!!

Keith and Ruth did a great job watching my two Pomeranians. They sent pictures every day and let me know that all was good. I will definitely book with them again!

Safety, trust & environment

Our fenced in yard allows us to keep the dogs outside with us when we are working in the yard or swimming in our fenced-in pool. We love to play fetch with active dogs and are happy to sit with the older pups. At the client's home, if there isn't a fenced yard, walks are essential. They stay on whatever schedule you have developed for them at home and get lots of love. We are trustworthy to access your home with a garage code or key and leave a client's home better than we found it!!

Information Keith S. would like to know about your pet

I would like to know if they are social with other animals, any medication needs, aggressions, feeding schedule and amounts, and whether they are trained and if so the command words.

A typical day

When I watch my nephew’s cane corso, I have been known to throw the frisbee/ball for hours. I live on a quiet street, so I would walk the dog(s) in the neighborhood or the local parks. If they are social, I would venture to the Chesapeake Beach boardwalk.

My wife and I are home the majority of the day. She works from home and I have my own business so I can make my own schedule. We don't have any pets of our own, so your pet(s) will get all of the attention.
