Highlights
Pet care experience
Guide Dog Puppy-Raising Volunteer
Dogs have been an important part of my life for more than 30 years. I’ve raised and cared for dogs from puppyhood through their senior years, including two Labrador Retrievers and a Labradoodle. My second Labrador was a Guide Dog in training who ultimately left the program due to potential physical issues. After she passed away, I became a volunteer with a local Guide Dogs for the Blind puppy-raising club and am an authorized puppy sitter. Through this experience, I’ve cared for puppies in training and understand the importance of consistency, patience, following training guidelines, and paying close attention to a dog’s behavior and needs. I also have extensive experience caring for senior dogs, including dogs requiring special diets, medication, and additional attention. I’m comfortable adapting to different routines and providing individualized care based on each dog’s needs. I’m also familiar with the general grooming and routine care that dogs need, including brushing, nail care, teeth brushing, and basic coat trimming. Most importantly, I enjoy getting to know each dog’s personality and making sure they feel comfortable, safe, and well cared for.

Qualifications
Safety, trust & environment
I treat every pet and home with the same care and respect I would want for my own. I follow each owner's instructions closely and make sure their pet's normal routine is maintained as much as possible, including feeding, medications, walks, and other special needs. I’m attentive to doors, gates, and other potential escape routes, and I make sure pets are supervised appropriately when outside. I’m also respectful of my client’s home and understand that I’m being trusted with more than just their pet. I’ll keep things clean and secure and communicate with the owner if anything unusual comes up.
Ratings and reviews
Kenny went above and beyond. I so appreciate him helping me in a pinch, he was excellent! Highly recommend.
Kenneth was absolutely brilliant! He kept me fully informed and gave the dogs a nice long walk each day. Thank you Kenneth!
Thank you so much!
Kenneth did an outstanding job caring for our 20-year-old cat for a full week, visiting twice daily, administering medications, refilling food and water, and keeping the litter box spotless. He was punctual, compassionate, and incredibly attentive to our elderly cat's needs, providing thoughtful updates, photos, and peace of mind while we were away. We couldn't have asked for a better caregiver.
Kenneth was on time and super friendly! Our dogs seemed to love him! They took a nice long walk and came back happy and tired. We will definitely be reaching out again 😊

Schedule
I work from home, so I have a flexible schedule that allows me to fit pet care into my day. While I do have occasional work meetings, I'm able to plan walks, visits, and other care around them. My evenings are generally free, and I have additional flexibility on weekends. I enjoy having a reason to step away from my desk during the day and spend some time with a dog or cat.
