Availability

I wake up around 6:30-8:00 AM most days and get right to work caring for the pets. Everyone is let out in backyard, or leashed up for a walk around the block. Pets are diligently cared for. Usually this consists of at least 3 walks per day, a visit to the park, and plenty of backyard time. I spend all day with the animals, leaving only for a personal errand or visit to the store. Each animal is analyzed carefully & fit into proper schedules according to their personality, levels of energy, and socialization.

Safety, trust & environment

I provide a secure, fenced-in yard and individual kennels for each pet’s comfort and safety. Dogs start their day around 6:30–8:00 AM with a 10 to 30-minute walk, followed by supervised backyard playtime and snacks. Kennels are used only for rest and feeding—pets spend the majority of their day active, social, and engaged. I tailor care to each pet’s needs, whether that includes frequent park trips, light obedience training, short backyard outings or bathing. My goal is to ensure every animal feels safe, loved, and enriched in a clean, well-maintained environment.

Information Keith W. would like to know about your pet

Special needs – medical conditions, medications, mobility issues, or other care requirements. I am happy to administer eye drops or medication free of charge. Diet – type of food, feeding schedule, and any allergies or restrictions. Temperament – personality traits, energy level, and how they interact with other animals and people. Likes & Dislikes – favorite activities, toys, and any situations or triggers they should avoid. Routine – your pet’s usual daily schedule, including walks, naps, and playtime. Basic Details – size, age, and breed. Social Behavior – temperament with other animals and new environments. House Training – whether your pet is potty trained and any specific bathroom cues or needs. This information helps me keep your pet comfortable, safe, and happy during their time in my care.

A typical day

I enjoy taking dogs to Cedar Ridge BREC Park for fresh air and exercise. At home, my fenced yard is perfect for games like fetch, tug-of-war, and even a bit of jogging or obedience training. If your dog is social and friendly with others, they’ll have plenty of fun playing with my own dogs. There are also great walking spots just outside my neighborhood, and I’m happy to visit any favorite places your dog already knows and loves—recommendations are always welcome. Dogs who prefer their own space, or may not be very social, will be accommodated with their own room and space away from the others where they can sleep peacefully & return to after an engaging day.

I cannot say enough good things about Keith. During one of the most stressful and uncertain periods of my life, he stepped up with kindness, patience, flexibility, and genuine care for my dog. Knowing my dog was safe, loved, exercised, and treated like family gave me peace of mind when I needed it most. He went above and beyond — not just doing the job, but truly helping me through a difficult situation. Reliable communication, compassionate care, and someone you can actually trust with your pet. My dog clearly adored him, and that tells me everything I need to know. If you are looking for someone dependable, caring, and genuinely good-hearted to watch your animals, I highly recommend him. Thank you again for everything you did for us.

My dog absolutely loved him. He was anxious the first day but Keith really helped him get comfortable and by the third day he was happily running inside, not sparing me a second glance. Would 100% have Keith watch my dog again.

Communicates well, his experience and knowledge helped me worry less about leaving Lumi for the first time. I received check-ins/update with how Lumi was adjusting. Lumi will definitely be boarding with Keith again.

Keith was great. Highly recommend. It's comforting to know that we now have a relaible place to board our dog Atlas. Keith provided timely updates , videos, pictures, and insights. Atlas went on multiple walks and was never lacking attention. We will be using only Keith from now on. Tommy
