I have a fenced in yard with a gate so I am very careful to be sure that when I let your dog(s) outside that I will watch them and make sure they stay inside the fence. When we are going over details I will ask that if you have anything in particular you would like in terms of how to care for them please let me know.

Information Ken D. would like to know about your pet

Please let me know if your dog/cat has any sort of special dietary needs, medications, etc. I have had a few dogs over the years that were special needs so I am familiar with working around a medication or special feeding schedule. Any additional details you would want to provide are always greatly appreciated.

A typical day

A typical day would depend on what the owner is wanting/looking for but with our three dogs what we normally do is one of a few things. We either take them on a hike with us, take them to the dog park and throw the ball with them, take them to the city park and walk around with them, or throw the ball in the yard. One of our favorite parks to go to is the city park since there isn't normally a ton of people but its a great way for the dogs to experience a lot of new scents and smells.

Pet care experience

We have always had animals in the house, whether it be dogs or cats. I have had multiple dogs for the past 8 years, with as many as 5 dogs in the family at once. Currently we have three dogs; They are wonderful but very much like children. I feed them twice a day, go on walks with them for a few miles multiple times a week, and make sure they get as much love and attention as they need (which is a lot since they like attention). I know what it takes to properly take care of a dog and would love the chance to share that with your pet. I love animals and am really looking forward to being able to spend more time with them.

Another wonderful vacation knowing my sweet girl was well cared for! The pictures and daily messages really help set my mind at ease.

What an absolutely amazing experience. My cat was care for, loved on, and I received so many wonderful pictures. I’m always nervous to leave her since she has separation anxiety but she was calm and happy when I got home like I was never gone! Will definitely be using them as my pet sitter from here on out!!

Ken was great! He loved my animals like his own and he even gave us updates on our kitty’s even though he was there for our puppy! Great thorough updates will definitely use again if we need care!
