Dog Whisperer

Pet care experience

I have had jobs both caring for pets in a daycare experience as well as walking and caring for pets overnight. I am natural with animals, especially; dogs. I understand positive reinforcement as well as keeping the dogs/cats under the same training as the owners. I believe animals should be treated with the same respect as our human counterparts. I have personally had a Dalmation and English Bulldog as my furry friends. I believe that doggy daycare / pet visitors should be the standard if the owners are unable to be home with them. Dogs can suffer from anxiety just like humans and it is important that we acknowledge this need. If you're here then that means you care about your pets well-being. Thank you 😊 I am not a "vacant" dog walker (or dog sitter) doing this for extra cash. I am doing it because I love to do it & I will provide your animal the best possible treatment according to it's needs. I only deal with one parent's animals at a time & I will establish a deep connection as if he/she was my own pet. I am looking for new best friends who need top-notch care. I am also interested in cooking/preparing a raw food diet for your animal for his/her's extended benefit. Your dog is also going to see an overall higher level of care with me. Better walks, better intimacy, more adventure.

Kepa was awesome! Offered to do a meet and greet the day before dog sitting Teemo. Our dog can be nervous and shy, Kepa took the time to let Teemo warm up to him. Took him on several walks while we were away and hu g out with him on the couch.

Kepa was great! Open communication, very nice, my cat really seemed to like him. He went above and beyond to engage with her and that was appreciated!

Kepa is an excellent communicator! He also clearly loves dogs. I appreciate having him as a reliable companion for our pup!

We are so glad to have found Kepa! Excellent communication, we felt really comfortable leaving Kona with him. He sent us a lot of great pictures throughout the stay, and we can tell that Kona had a lot of fun and was cared for. Definitely will contact him again. Thank you so much!

Information Kepa B. would like to know about your pet

I prefer dogs that are strong walkers or are interested in stimulation. If your dog is a house dog (or older) & has a yard hanging out might be more than just fitting in a 30 minute walk.

A typical day

I like to bond with animals through cooking raw food diets, playing, cuddling, walking, & general hanging out. Dogs are pack animals and pretty much want to just be around while you do things.
