Pet care experience

Fun, compassionate sitting!

Hello! I've been around dogs all my life, all adoptions, and currently live with an ex-racing greyhound named Maki. I've recently moved into my own house with a large front yard, and I work freelance at home so I am there most hours of the day. I live alone, and it's a relaxed scene and neighborhood up here. I also go jogging most days, so if your pup's got energy to work off, I can help with that! I have extensive experience with a wide variety of dogs, large and small, which I earned through training family pets and volunteering at shelters over the years. As a result, I can handle anything your dog needs when it comes to feeding, exercising, medication, or just plain relaxing and having fun in a chill home environment. Don't hesitate to contact me if you have any questions. Thank you!

This was Jersey’s second time staying with Kevin and Maki. She always has a blast and they get along g very well. I’m really thankful to have such a kind, compassionate, communicative sitter in our area. We absolutely recommend Kevin’s services!

Kevin is a trustworthy find. We left our young Pyredoodle with Kevin while we were abroad, confident our pooch was in good, capable, safe hands. Kevin and his Great Dane, Maki, very calm and easy-going, made perfect companions for our active 2-year-old doggie. When highways were closed due to an unforeseen nor’easter, Kevin without hesitation generously offered to keep Bentley on if necessary. We love that Kevin works at home so there would be someone with Bentley in a cozy, relaxed setting, a much better alternative to boarding at a kennel, especially for a social family dog like ours who needs regular loving human interaction. We would gladly call on Kevin again.

SPECTACULAR communication! Our dog is very young and energetic. Kevin navigated that SO well. Also, Kevin’s dog Maki was very calm and got along with our girl really well. We highly recommend his services and will definitely book again!

Kevin was exceptional - this was our first experience with a dog sitter, and he was courteous, responsive, and accommodating. His greyhound, Maki, is a gentle soul who got along wonderfully with our smaller dogs. We were especially grateful for the updates and photos of our pups relaxing and out on walks. I highly recommend Kevin and would be happy to entrust him with our pups again in the future!

Safety, trust & environment

I petsit mainly as a hobby, so I never take dogs from more than one household at once. Working at home means I'll be able to keep an eye on your dog most times of the day. My greyhound is extremely gentle and chill with other dogs/people.

Pets

A typical day

Most exercise will be in the form of walking, which will primarily be around my quiet neighborhood. They'll also get to play around indoors, or chill out on my beds or seats.

16 to 40 lbs
41 to 100 lbs
over 101 lbs
Takes only 1 client at a time
Kevin can host up to 2 pets per night
How's your dog get along with other dogs, or people they run into outside? What do they like to do for fun? What's their preferred sleeping arrangement? Also, are they OK on leash? I don't expect perfection of course, but since I don't have a fenced yard, most exercise will be in the form of leashed walks/jogs. No particular breed preferences, but no super-small dogs please, just for safety's sake as I have a large greyhound here.
Each sitter joining Rover needs to pass a background check. And by booking on Rover, you can get photo & message updates, 24/7 support, and reimbursement for eligible vet care.
