Pet care experience

Caring kiwi dog lover and trainer!

I’m a professional dog trainer and experienced pet care provider with over 20 years of hands-on experience caring for dogs of all ages, breeds, sizes, and personalities. I’m new to TN and Rover but I have run my own pet care business the past 10 years prior to my move. My background includes dog training, dog walking, pet sitting, and volunteering with animal rescues and shelters, where I’ve worked with everything from energetic puppies to senior dogs and those with special behavioral or medical needs. Whether your dog is staying with me or I’m caring for them in your home, my goal is to make them feel safe, happy, and loved while you’re away. Boarding Your dog will receive almost constant care and companionship. I work from home and intentionally limit the number of dogs I care for so each one receives plenty of individual attention. I don’t have any pets of my own, so your dog won’t be competing for attention and can truly feel at home. For active dogs, I provide at least one hour of exercise and enrichment each day, tailored to their energy level and routine. Drop-In Visits, Walks & House Sitting I also offer dog walking, drop-in visits, and overnight house sitting in your home. Keeping your dog in their familiar environment can be a great option for reducing stress while maintaining their normal routine. I’ll ensure they receive plenty of exercise, affection, and mental stimulation while respecting your home as if it were my own. I’m experienced in administering medications, following special feeding instructions, and accommodating individual routines and preferences. Whether your dog requires extra patience, a structured schedule, or a little extra TLC, I’m happy to provide personalized care. Communication is important to me, so you can expect regular updates, photos, and messages throughout your dog’s stay or visit, giving you peace of mind while you’re away. I know how important it is to trust the person caring for your family member, and I’d love the opportunity to provide a safe, reliable, and loving experience for your dog. I look forward to meeting you both!

Could not have been more pleased with how it went, so much so that we arranged a longer stay with Keryn immediately.

I'm open to all breeds and comfortable with all sizes and temperaments. I have experience with fearful and aggressive dogs also with my dog training background. I'd like to know if there is anything I need to take caution with, regarding the dogs age, any injuries or limitations, if the dog has any fears of certain things and if he/she is friendly with other dogs.
