High-Activity Funtime Play + Snooze

Me & my buddy #SambaTheBorderCollie, take our job of watching over your fur baby with the upmost care and attention. Samba is my Rover partner and incredibly well-trained therapy dog who helps promote good behaviors from all of our guests. As for myself, I'm a trainer, animal advocate, and dog owner who's here to provide a structured, loving environment that I'd demand for my doggo. There's lots of choices of sitters on Rover, however, I stand out by providing a unique high-activity experience that has become a rewarding full-time job. Expect lots of photos & updates throughout the day – and a happy, worn out pup when you pick him/her up from their stay. I love my job, my clients, and overdelivering on the promise of giving every ounce of my energy to the happiness, wellness and safety of your best friend. Extremely comfortable working with high-needs working dogs, independent terriers, seniors, puppies and everything in between.

Ken is hands down the best dog sitter I’ve ever found for my high-energy border collie. He has extensive knowledge and experience with this breed and goes above and beyond to care for Sage, ensuring he gets the exercise and attention he needs as a working breed. He is very communicative, sending daily updates and pictures, and it’s clear that he genuinely loves dogs. This made me feel so comfortable and safe leaving Sage with him. From now on, Ken will for sure be my go-to choice for dog sitting. I highly recommend him to anyone with a high-energy or working breed dog!

Ken was a great host to our new guy, Chewbacca. He was very communicative and it was apparent he enjoyed our dog as much as we do. Upon initially meeting Ken he welcomed us to his place for our dogs to meet and play. It was a wonderful way to make sure our dogs could get acclimated before staying together. Thanks Ken!

Pets

A typical day

When staying with us, you can expect fun-packed days romping through the Elysian trails, chasing Chuck-It balls and frisbees, exploring one of LA's secret fenced in parks, or taking a needed snooze between all the fun. Also, I'll keep you updated with professional photos, videos and social content you can share with your friends. If hiking isn’t their thing, my property is a dog wonderland built for safety and fun.

Would love to understand the dog's temperament and their compatibility with other dogs and humans. Special needs, attachment issues or sensitivity to any stimuli are important.
