Pet care experience

Your dog might love me more after

I have been around dogs all my life. My first dog is a Golden Lab and I have a second dog that is a Terrier Mix. I've been taking care of them since I was 7. Growing up, my neighbor would have me dog sit their German Shepherd so I'm comfortable handling dogs of all sizes. I've found that I've had this trait of being able to get a dog's trust even if they are a bit aggressive. I'm usually the go-to person for my friends when they need a dog sitter. I currently work full-time, however, I have a hybrid work schedule. I'll be home most days of the week and will only be in the office 1 or 2 times out of the week. I often take walks so might as well have some walking buddies. My apartment is safe for animals. Nothing is left on the floor for any possible chewing or swalloing. There is a dedicated dog park/yard outside my apartment building to take dogs out.

Kevin was awesome with Blu! He was super communicative and flexible, and sent me many updates and pictures of them on walks or at the dog park over their time together. Would absolutely book him again and recommend him to a friend!

Kevin was an excellent dog sitter for Mr. Yukon. He was very thorough with questions to understand Yukon’s routines. He sent lots of pictures and I am very confident in his ability to care for Yukon. I now have peace of mind when going out of town and having Yukon stay with a sitter because Kevin was great!

Kevin was so great with our dogs! He sent lots of picture and video updates throughout the stay. He was very flexible with drop off and pick up. We will definitely use Kevin again.

My energetic big-loving boxer pit stayed with Kevin for TWO whole weeks over the holidays. He was a great communicator, sent pics a few times a day, and was happy to keep me in the loop about her well-being, especially with the extended stay. He was attentive and aware to her needs throughout new years and possible fireworks. Thanks Kevin for being so great and taking care of my baby. I was able to travel with ease and peace knowing she was in good hands.

Kevin was great watching odie! Odie has a lot of supplements, separation anxiety / crate training, and mild leash aggression and Kevin managed things easily. Provided updates and photos of Odie while we were away and will def reach out next time we are out of town.

A typical day

I love going to Herman Park and City Center for walks! Taking dogs out for runs, if the dog is able (and willing to) can also be on the agenda. Basic play like fetch and obedience training is essential.

0 to 15 lbs

41 to 100 lbs
Crate-trained dogs only
Kevin can host up to 2 pets per night
I am willing to take care of any type of dog. I won't be able to take care of dogs that might bark or howl a lot. Potty trained dogs are preferable but if not could you please provide pee pads. Let me know if your dog has any special conditions and I am more than willing to cater to that!
