Pro Dog Dad of 3 Ready For Hire

Pet care experience

I take care of my 3 dogs daily, all of which have special needs: one is a senior (17); one has high anxiety; and one is very territorial (was, has since been trained away from this behavior). I'm capable of walking all 3 at once so any solo dog will be handled with compassion, experience, and skill. I have several word-of-mouth clients, my personal experience extends to a professional one allowing me to see dog care from both perspectives. I take pics and videos during my sessions for any dog parents' peace of mind and make myself available for communication even beyond service time.

Kenneth was very communicative and checked in with pictures of Timmy! I had Timmy boarded for 10 days and knew he was well taken care and had plenty of fun while I was away. Would absolutely rebook. Very professional and kind.

Kenneth took great care of Java. Java is a shy boy who is very nervous. Kenneth made a big effort to gain Java's trust. He left a new dog, happy and with confidence. The experience was great for Java and gave me peace of mind while I was away.

Java started to trust Kenneth after 2 daycare visits, which is very rare. It means Kenneth did a lot of work with him. I feel very confident leaving Java with him, and I can focus on my work . Thank you 🙏🏽

Safety, trust & environment

Your dog(s) will always have the company of my 3 which are very friendly and trained to play nice, or know when a dog is not interested in being social. I work from home so your dog(s) will always have eyes on them. I live in a pet friendly apartment on the first floor and take my dogs on multiple walks a day.

Information Kenneth R. would like to know about your pet

I have 3 dogs and 2 of them have special needs, so I'm very capable and knowledgeable with dealing with animals of many temperaments and needs. Feel free to let me know if your pet has any special instructions or needs and I'll be sure to give them the special attention they need.

A typical day

We go for multiple long walks, play with toys, watch tv, and have treats. All dogs get the attention and love they deserve and will be under constant supervision, they will also have plenty of fur friends to play with or they can have a private area if they're not up to being social.
