I'm retired, so I have a very open and flexible schedule. That means I can give your pet the time, attention, and consistency they deserve—whether it's early morning walks, mid-day check-ins, or (limited) overnight stays. Your pet’s routine becomes my priority.

Safety, trust & environment

Safety and trust are top priorities for me. In your home, I always respect your space and follow your pet’s routine closely—feeding, walking, medications, and comfort needs. I stay calm and attentive, which helps pets feel secure and relaxed. You can count on me to show up, stay in touch, and treat your pet like my own.

Information Ken G. would like to know about your pet

I like to know your pet’s routine, personality, and any special needs ahead of time. Things like feeding schedule, energy level, quirks, medical needs, and how they do with other animals or people really help me provide the best care possible. If there’s anything that stresses them out (storms, loud noises, being alone), or things they absolutely love (walks, belly rubs, favorite toys), I want to hear it!

A typical day

A typical day includes plenty of walks, playtime, and calm companionship. I love taking dogs on sniff-filled strolls, throwing the ball in the yard, or just relaxing with them by my side. I stick to your pet’s normal schedule to keep things stress-free—mealtimes, potty breaks, naps, and cuddles included! Whether your pet is energetic or laid-back, I match their vibe and make sure they feel safe, seen, and loved.

Pets are great therapy.

Pet care experience

I’ve had pets most of my life, and my heart belongs to my two doodles—Phoebe, a 50lb labradoodle, and Faith, a 15lb mini goldendoodle. I understand the needs of both large and small dogs, including exercise, routine, and affection. What sets me apart is my calm, reliable presence and attention to detail—skills I honed during my career in law enforcement. I’m especially comfortable with dogs that need structure or a little extra patience, including seniors or those with unique personalities. Whether it’s a walk, drop-in, or extended stay, your pet will be in caring, capable hands.

Ken did a great job with our Rottweiler Sofia. We were gone for several days. He did well encouraging her to eat. He was on time for the drop in visits, provided a picture of a happy girl, and gave helpful feedback. Ken is kind and gentle.

Ken is wonderful. Incredibly thorough and conscientious when we first met, asking detailed questions about Leigh's needs and preferences that I hadn't even thought to share in her profile. He is always on time and my dog already loves him!
