Safety, trust & environment

My current accommodations doesn't allow pets, but it's easy for me to put my Prius' rear seat down and transport your pup to a nearby park!

Information Ken G. would like to know about your pet

I love medium to large dogs — bonus points if it's a vizsla, blue heeler, or silver lab! If they need any medication, please let me know, and I am happy to ensure they get what they need.

A typical day

If your dog wants a short walk around the neighborhood, that's what we'll do! We can also hop in my Prius for a hike at the nearest dog park or hiking trail, if that's what your pup is into!

Foster dad & digital nomad

Pet care experience

Remember "Highway to Heaven"? That's my life as a digital nomad, going wherever I'm needed! I have fostered dogs from Best Friends in Kanab, UT, and Summit Rescue in Boulder, CO; and I've dogsat in Syracuse, NY; Missoula, MT; Golden, CO; Grand Junction, CO; and Riverside, CA. Want your pup to be popular? I have a phone grip to mount a tennis ball on my iPhone so your dog will be attentive during selfies to post on Tumblr. I'm also happy to tag your dog on social media, with your permission!

Ken was super responsive and thoughtful! He took Reggie on 2 great walks and created a quick bond. Will definitely use again in the future!

Ken was my savior today. I have been feeling sick all day and Ken accepted a walk last minute so my antsy dog could get much needed outdoor time. Thank you
