Pet care experience

I have grown up with dogs and I have had a couple cats once I lived on my own. My mother didn't care for them much. I think it was the litter box mainly. One of my adult life dogs was a pug who needed medication daily, went blind and deaf later in life. That was hard to handle personally but I do understand special needs of animals. I am decent with training and could work on small things for you, like jumping up or waiting to eat, aggressive or impatient behavior. I work from home as a glass artist, have a big yard. Would probably have the animals with me most of the time. My cabin in the woods is small and rustic but it is a nice peaceful time out this way. I often watch my landlords 2 dogs. Both on the big side. His dogs are the brown aka Cody and tan one aka Mogie. I have also watched Max, the black pug in my pictures. I can watch cats but it seems having them in their own environment is best and doing feeding and litter box cleaning. I don't know how to offer that on this site but I could do such things. The cat shown in my pictures is Skydome and she is an outdoor cat that has claimed me as her human. She doesn't come around much when dogs are present.

When Kevin met my black pug, Max, I noticed something unusual happening.— he speaks pug language. Kevin and Max sat down and had a conversation, and Max was clearly engaged, stayed focused and was delighted to have a new friend! Normally he doesn’t get too close to strangers, but instantly they had a rapport and communication, and Max now goes to him and checks in for talks in a way I have never seen before! I trust Kevin to watch my house and take care of Max any time I am away, up to a week at a time so far, and when I get home, I can tell they are both happy as clams. It feels like Max got to spend time with an old friend who really understands him, and is more relaxed and happy than when I left. I would recommend Kevin for any dog, as he is an honest, sincere and loving person who cares deeply for my little guy and has a wonderful effect on him. .

Safety, trust & environment

I have a large yard, it is not fenced but I wouldn't feel comfortable having your animals off leash even if I had a fense. I don't have animals of my own besides an outdoor cat that has claimed me as the food giver. My last dogs death hit me hard, I had to watch her go deaf and then blind and it was a bit much for me. I am not ready for another dog yet but I do love animals and their company. The landlord does have 2 dogs, they have a fence or pen you could say if needed. State land across the road for walks and lots of property to explore. I do have a pet crate for a medium to large dog but I don't prefer to use it unless you ask or it is needed.

Information Kevin C. would like to know about your pet

If your dog has issues with other dogs, children or waiting to be walked in general. I would appreciate knowing. I am responsible and would always take caution but it is good to know, if I feel comfortable letting them be around kids but I shouldn't be, it is nice to know first. Some dogs can fool you and situations like the noise of a plastic bag can work them up. So the little things they don't like or have issues with. Do they run off as soon as possible, push through the doorway to do so? Anything that will help watching them easier on all of us.

A typical day

Walks, rides in the car if possible. State land across the road and plenty of land on property to be active.
