Information Ken V. would like to know about your pet

I take my dog everywhere I go, so it would be important that your pet to get along with other dogs, or at least mine. I keep a dog crate in the car so that they don't interact while I travel. I can deal with them not getting along, but not for ongoing playdates. My dog is crate trained and can stay in the crate, car while I spend time with yours.

A typical day

I am an avid hiker / mountain biker / paddle boarder and take my dog everywhere I go. Obviously it depends on what the dog likes to do, but I think that some outdoor activity is important to (most) all dogs.

Pet care experience

I'm retired with a dog who I got as a puppy and i have never left his side. He has been socialized and well behaved and a good role model for other dogs. Unlike my last dog, he enjoys playing with puppies.

Kenneth is wonderful with my dogs. He takes them for long walks with lots of sniffs which makes their day. One of my dogs is a bit feisty and Kenneth Dog, Ziggy is very mellow and won my dogs trust immediately. When I get home, my dogs are exhausted and content which makes for nice and relaxing rest of day for all of us. 😃

Great job with Maggie! Was so nice to know she was being well cared for and having fun while we had a house full of family! Hiking! Playing in the river! Good communication with Kenneth. Will definitely re-book when we have a need.

Ken was very good with my dogs. Capable and courteous. My dogs in general have separation anxiety and they did really well with him right away. Kens dog Ziggy is very sweet and super well trained. He took them on walks and they came home happy. Would definitely recommend Ken for care. for my furry friends.

Ken is a very friendly and responsible person. He loves animals and has a good, calm demeanor when interacting with dogs and people. I've known Ken for almost 20 years and have never had a reason not to give him my complete trust with my animals or anything else. He will make a great Rover pet sitter.
