I can easily crate your dog if needed, but would love to give your dog the pet experience and treat them like my own. I live in a nice are and have great access to the woods nearby as well.

More Attention, Fewer Dogs 1-1 care

Pet care experience

When I was 10 I joined a dog training program through my school, that’s where my training experience began. I provide a premium, low-volume dog care experience for owners who want their dog to have more one-on-one attention in a calm home environment. Your dog won’t be just one of many in a crowded space. I keep my care more personal so each dog gets plenty of attention, supervision, and outdoor time. I have a big yard for dogs to enjoy, but my indoor space is smaller, so I am very intentional about keeping the number of dogs low. That means I can focus on your dog’s comfort, safety, and overall experience much more closely. This is a great fit for dogs who do better with a quieter setting and for owners who value quality of care over high-volume boarding or daycare. I generally only take one to a few dogs at a time unless they are from the same household. I have a lot of experience with senior dogs. I took care of my childhood dog for 17 years of her long, beautiful life. I have experience working with small senior dogs specifically and I know all the little things that they appreciate. I also have experience with large dogs and can handle very big strong dogs. I also love hiking with dogs so if you have an energetic dog you need to burn off energy I am your guy. I have an acre yard with a fenced in front yard in a nice area. Any dog that boards with me would be treated like my own dog and let out very frequently to go to the bathroom and play outside. I would always remain home with your dog. Thank you for considering me and I hope to meet your pet soon!

Kevin was so patient with Winnie! I really appreciated the pictures and check ins throughout the day, long walks and flexibility with his schedule & mine. I would 100% recommend and will be coming back! His pup is super friendly as well

Kevin was amazing. My dog, Scruffy is very shy, but he got comfortable with Kevin and his dog very quickly. It was evident that Scruffy had a pleasant stay with Kevin, and he’ll be back soon 👍 Bonus: Scruffy also smelled nice (like himself) when he got home. When Scruffy stays with other sitters, he usually comes home smelling like other dogs for a few days. It was definitely a bonus (for me) that it didn’t take a few days for Scruffy to smell like himself again, haha.

I have had Kevin hike and board my dog Billy on multiple occasions. Kevin did an exceptional job tiring out Billy who has too much energy because I’ve been too busy to walk him enough. Kevin took Billy on a 3 hour hike and when Billy came back he ate his dinner, laid down, and slept next to his ball. I couldn’t believe it, my day to day is getting harassed to play with the ball. Billy slept all night long besides moving spots a few times. Every time he takes him on a nice long hike Billy is so much calmer afterwards. He has also become better trained off leash, and responds to me more. I think it’s a combination of him not being so overly energetic and also being trained by Kevin. I can tell how much Billy likes him because he goes crazy when he sees him, he starts jumping all over his car and whining while his little tail goes nuts. Overall I cannot recommend him enough.
