Pet care is a natural and joyful part of my daily routine. I'm retired and have a flexible schedule that allows me to provide consistent, attentive care. I'm usually home most of the day, with time built in for multiple structured walks (often along our beautiful waterfront paths), play sessions, training reinforcement, and plenty of quiet downtime. I treat boarding like a premium retreat: routines include regular potty breaks, meals on schedule, and lots of one-on-one affection to keep your pup relaxed and happy. I'm available for drop-offs/pick-ups that fit your needs, and I can adjust for longer stays or special requests. Since my background is in professional dog handling, I thrive on creating calm, predictable days—your dog gets the structure and love they deserve without ever feeling like an afterthought!

Safety, trust & environment

Safety and trust are always my top priorities. Your pet's happiness and security come first in my calm, loving Cape Coral home. We have a fenced waterfront yard that's secure, spacious, and escape-proof (with no direct access to the water for extra peace of mind). It's ideal for safe supervised play, potty breaks, and relaxing outdoor time. Indoors, the space is clean, hazard-free, and cozy with plenty of comfy spots and fresh water always available. I maintain structured yet relaxed routines with regular checks, positive reinforcement of manners, and lots of one-on-one affection. Plus, we have my 4-year-old Boxer, Tyson—he's extremely sociable, sweet, loving, and gentle, always eager to make new friends! He thrives on playdates and gentle interactions, so compatible pups often enjoy having a fun, well-mannered buddy around (I do careful, slow introductions to ensure everyone feels safe and happy). I follow your care instructions precisely (feeding, meds, exercise), provide daily photo updates, and create a premium, waterfront retreat where dogs feel loved and secure.

Pet care experience

What sets me apart from other sitters: My sincere love and affection for animals started at a young age and has guided my life ever since. With 7 years of professional experience as a US Army Military Working Dog handler, certified dog trainer/ student instructor, and kennel master. During this time in my career I also fostered puppies in the 341st MWD Puppy Program at Lackland, Air Force Base. Volunteers foster puppies from 6 weeks to 7 months old, focusing on socialization before they begin formal training at 12 months. Building socialization and obedience foundations through gentle, positive methods. Now in Cape Coral, I offer premium boarding with structured routines, relaxing waterfront walks, and reinforcement of good manners. I'm especially skilled with puppies (nurturing early confidence and training) and seniors (gentle, low-stress care). You get military-honed discipline combined with genuine warmth and lots of love—your pup comes home happy, relaxed, and even better behaved!

Ken is an animal lover and has worked closely with training dogs in the military. You can see this based on the connection he has with his dog ~ Tyson. Our male boxer is typically afraid of men, but he warmed right up to Ken. He won’t leave him alone now. On numerous occasions, Ken has walked our dogs while we’ve been out of town. It’s been great knowing we have someone we can trust and to know that our dogs get along so well with Tyson. Highly recommend Ken.

I've had the pleasure of knowing Ken R for over 20 years, and I can confidently attest to his reliability, patience, and excellent communication skills. As a former military dog trainer, he possesses a deep understanding of calm and compassionate dog handling, making him a fantastic asset to care for your furry friend. Fully recommend!
