Passionate dog walker
Pet care experience
Over this past summer I had a lot of time to reflect on my career decisions, during that time I've discovered 2 things that keep me motivated all from doing a favor for a friend. I'm motivated to get fit and be active with a dog and motivated for my passion; photography. I'm wanting to be a dog walker because my work schedule and creating photography work is not a healthy balance. If I have the chance to walk my friends dogs or have the urge to destress I turn to going for a walk. When its myself and 2 or 3 dogs I know it will be a satisfying day for all of us, and thats the most important to me. So truthfully, I'm looking to build relationships with dogs and their owners. Being an urban explorer/photographer I guarantee that your companion will get lots of exercise, love and attention. Also I will most likely be sharing my adventures with your dogs on my Instagram page.

He’s awesome:) Dave gets so excited to see him! I definitely recommend Keith and will be using him constantly in the future! Thanks for taking such good care of Dave!
He is awesome and my dog Dave, loves him!
Everything went great! My dog is presently looking out the window for him...:)
Keith has been my go to dog sitter for 6 years now. Not only is he very attentive, and responsible, he's also super fun! My 2 dogs always have a blast with him. Over the years he's grown to be one of their favorite people.

Most important for me is their behavior on a leash, with other dogs, off the leash at dog parks etc. As well as any habits that you want me to be on the look out for.
A typical day
I am an outdoors person, having a dog with me makes me want to go on long walks to a point when I return home the dog sleeps all day. My best friend who has a Shitzu-pom named Violet(5 years old) and a Chinese sharpei named Bogart(3 years old), Bogart and I are like brothers although he is not my dog, in a way hes my nephew and I was there when he first came into my friends family. Violet is the almighty princess and acts just like one. On days where the sun is out and the temperature feels just right I plan to go as far as a 4 mile walk. Since Violet is a little older I usually give her a 20-25min walk, her and Bogart's energy are on completely different levels therefore I would walk her back to the house once she's done 1 and 2 5 times. There was one weekend where I planned an all day walk for both Bogart Violet and it was the best walk ever. It was a Sunday afternoon highs of 70 degrees with the sun shining with no clouds in sight. I picked the pups up in the car and drove to Hoover dam. They had no idea what they were going to get into; surprised that Violet was very well able to keep up as well. We didn't just walk, we hiked for a good 3 hours. These are the activities I want to do with your dogs, if we can reach that kind of relationship.
