An Expert Dog-Sitter New To Rover

I first watched my friend's dog, Friday (the dachshund), as I began working remotely in 2016. I fell in love with pet sitting. Since then, I have been watching dogs and a few cats for some friends, including the very playful Fiyero (with the bone). I am very cautious when walking dogs and observing people, cars, and other animals around me. Oh, and I love movies. The photo of me and the Great Dane is Bing, who I met at the Telluride Film Festival. He was in the movie THE FRIEND, co-starring Naomi Watts and Bill Murray, and like all emerging talent at film festivals, will soon be famous. The movie opens in 2025 from Bleecker Street.

Safety, trust & environment

First, I know where the pets are most of the day. I prefer to check on them or have them sit with me. I love throwing a ball around in the backyard to give them exercise or a treat (if allowed) between meals. I make sure I am not gone for too long. Also, I don't leave a pet on the last day of watching unless I know the owner is en route, whether driving or on an airplane.

This is our second time having Ken watch our two dogs and stay in our home. Like the first time, he did a fantastic job. He cared for the pups like they were his own. We highly recommend Ken and his services.

Kenny took great care of our pups in our home while we were on a weekend trip - he sent lots of updates which gave us peace of mind while we were away! He left the house clean and arrived on time for his stay. He walked our dogs and even took extra care to make sure our older dog (who often skips meals when we are away) ate breakfast one morning. We would definitely trust Kenny to sit for us again.

Ken is a great guy. He was very responsive and took good care of our two pups. Ken communicated almost every day with pictures and clever captions, letting us know all was well at home. I would highly recommend Ken's services!

Ken communicated well while house sitting with Oso. He sent me pictures frequently which helped with my own anxiety. I will definitely rebook him as much as I can.

I want to know what they love or their triggers. I want to stick to their schedule as much as possible. Their peace of mind is also mine.
