Keith was my number for over a year and came into frequent contact with my reactive adult border collie, Alfred. My partner and I adopted Alfred as an adult from Underdog. He was highly reactive when we first got him--chasing bikes, cars, lunging at other dogs or people walking by, and he would often nip at people if they tried to pet him. Alfred let's very people into his inner circle: Keith is one of them. Keith has always interacted really well with Alfred, especially as we were still training him to be less reactive. Keith would routinely avoid eye contact with Alfred and was always very alert to his avoidance gestures such as lip-licking, body language, etc. When Alfred would bark at him, Keith would turn his back to him, and offer him treats in an open hand without looking at him. He was always careful to speak to him softly and quietly as well. While it took several months of regular interaction, Alfred eventually would approach Keith with excitement and would even let Keith pet him. I can't recommend anyone more strongly than Keith for this position.

Keith provided drop-in cat care for me on multiple occasions. He made sure my kitties were fed, had fresh water in their favorite drinking bowls/jars, and cleaned their litter boxes. He also provided some quality time and snuggles for my sphynx cats. I would hire him again!!
