Another great stay for Maggie with Kenneth and Ziggy! Great communication. Wonderful care. Maggie loves her times with the two of them. Kenneth was very accommodating when our trip was a bit longer than expected. Will certainly use again.

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. 😃

Doggy Day Care • déc. 01, 2025

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.

Doggy Day Care • août 26, 2025

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.

Schedule

I am currently retired and have a flexible schedule. I take my dog out everyday for hikes, swims, paddle boarding, cross country skiing/snowshoeing, fetch or the dog park. He is very social and would love company.

Safety, trust & environment

I have a small fenced back yard, but exercise my dog outside my home everyday . I like to predict what a dog will do to prevent conflict.

Pets

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.

0 to 15 lbs
16 to 40 lbs
No females in heat
Ken can host up to 1 pet per night
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.
