Active, dog-loving couple!

Pet care experience

We (Ken and Kendall) are an active, dog-loving couple who are always looking for our next pup-inspired adventure. We'd love to have your dog join us as we explore Virginia and D.C. dog parks, trails, and local dog-friendly establishments. Our husky mix, Russy, is relatively new to our home, adopted from a local rescue. She is still learning about her new life so we don't like to leave her by herself just yet. Because of that, we both work from home a few days a week and use Rover for the other days when we both need to be in the office. Russy has been doing great with other dogs and we'd like to continue to socialize her AND offset her Rover stays outside our home. Our schedules can be relatively flexible but change week-to-week. Send a chat to ask about availability or any other questions you may have. Kendall grew up with dogs - Keva the cocker spaniel; Jassie the collie; and Ginger the shepherd mutt - so has had experience with a variety of energy levels and breeds. Ken's first word was his family's dog's name, "Gonzo". It's seriously uncanny how much dogs love Ken. Your pup will get lots of love and as much (or little) activity as you want!

Ken (and his pup Russy) did a great job watching Annie over the July 4th holiday weekend. He updated us with several pictures each day to let us know what they were up to and how she was doing. Annie returned to us happy and healthy. We will use him again!

Molly had a great stay, and they made a very stressful weekend much less stressful as I didn't have to worry about my dog! I can't recommend them highly enough.

Kendall and Ken were great! They took a very last minute booking and really helped me out of a bind. Nugget was super happy going to their place and always seemed relaxed and happy when I picked him up. They live in a great little neighborhood with lots of great walking spots near their place. Their own pooch was friendly and tolerant of my super energetic beagle. They sent me pics during Nugget's stay which helped me to know that he was getting really good care. I'll definitely be turning to them again when I need a dog sitter in the future.

Ken takes delight in all dogs and is patient and caring with them as a result. He will give them a reassuring presence in your absence.

Information Ken M. would like to know about your pet

Does your pup do well with other dogs? Is s/he house-trained? Food-protective? Any special needs, like medicine? Prefers head pats, belly scratches, or all of the above? Any training needs we should know about (don't encourage getting on the furniture, for example)?

A typical day

We live within walking distance to the Clarendon dog park and only a short drive to the Shirlington park. If your pup is a dog-park-loving critter, we'll happily frequent one (or both) during the visit. We live next to a leash-on, dog-friendly park and a long bike trail. Multiple walks are a staple in our daily schedule. If your pup prefers lazy days, we can accommodate that, too. Our pup, Russy, doesn't understand fetch but we'd love to host a canine to help teach her!
