Loving Dog Dad

Pet care experience

Hello, As an animal lover and the proud dog dad to a 6-year Maltipoo, I have a genuine passion for our furry friends. My wife and I are both very much involved in animal rights/welfare organizations and strongly support any organizations that advocate and support animal rights. With this mindset, we show our genuine love for all animals including dogs. I foster dogs through the Humane Society Silicon Valley over 5 years so far, volunteer at the San Jose Animal Shelter (dog walking large dogs) often for 1 year so far, and continue to be the best dog dad I can to our dog Matcha.

As always, Kenneth took great care of Kenji and was very nice to take us in with short notice. He sent pictures throughout Kenji’s stay. Kenji always enjoys staying at Ken’s when we need someone to watch him. He always leaves happy and calm. Thank you, Kenneth and Matcha!

Kenneth was wonderful with our Yorkie, Obi. Obi was sad being away from home, and had a tough time during the first night. Kenneth was super attentive, and went above and beyond to make Obi feel at home. Thank you, Kenneth!!!

This is the second time Kenneth has taken care of Kenji and we can’t be any happier. My partner was sick and needed to be taken in and we needed someone to watch Kenji on a very short notice and Kenneth was very willing to help out (he was pretty much available on the spot) and was even willing to extend the booking if needed. He’s such a nice guy and takes great care of Kenji. He took him for a nice long walk and provided updates. I would not hesitate to recommend Kenneth to any of my family and friends.

Kenneth took very good care of Kenji! He sent pictures and videos during Kenji’s stay with him. He took Kenji for a walk to the park and Kenji looked really happy! He seemed like he had a fun day at Kenneth’s place. Kenneth also had great communication and was very understanding when we were running late. I would definitely book Kenneth again to take care of Kenji.

I live in a newer townhome HOA community and there are many dogs in our neighborhood, so it's very dog-friendly. We have an area set aside in our 2nd floor for their sleeping/relaxing times in the corner with a large crate and gate. The entire 2nd floor is for them to move around. There is also a park next door where we can walk your dog. What makes my day is to see animals smile and be happy. We owe it to our furry friends that and have the responsibility to make sure they are being taken good care of.

Information Kenneth Y. would like to know about your pet

I prefer smaller dogs for boarding, but can handle all dogs of varying sizes for walking. Please bring food, treats and anything that your dog needs. Let me know if there are any special needs or information we should know about your dog. We have many dog toys, a large crate, dog beds, and a spacious space inside our townhome.

A typical day

During dog walking, I can certainly walk them in your own neighborhood so that they are familiar with the area. Or I am also happy to bring them to a nearby park (if they want to have a change in scenery and new smells). Every day, I bring my dog out for walks and bathroom breaks 4 times a day (Morning, Lunch, Dinner, and before going to bed). Your dog will also get plenty of exercise and bathroom breaks.

Availability

I work from home so my overall schedule is pretty flexible and can provide much attention and care to your furbaby. Am able to take the dog out at least 4 times or move a day for walk, bathroom breaks, etc. due to my flexible work from home schedule. I can move meetings around if needed in order to see if it can accommodate your needs.
