Pet care experience

Very good animal caretaker

De facto pet sitter for my family growing up with three dogs, now taking care of a single dog with my Fiancé! I’ve always loved getting to know different breeds and their personalities. I’m an incredibly reliable walker, and am a stickler for punctuality. I grew up with multiple golden retrievers and golden doodles, and I will say that at the crisp age of 13, I was walking three dogs at a time. I know winter is approaching and will not shy away in the colder weather. I'm also more than willing to transport your dog to a walk friendly location as long as you're okay with it! I love the bark park / shwarzkopf trail.

Safety, trust & environment

We have a fenced in backyard that Frankie loves to take naps in the grass in the sun when the weather is nice. I always try to get his exercise in outside of the home on walks, or dog park visits though. The different smells he picks up help tire him out more than just spending time in the backyard.

Kevin was excellent as always. He’s my #1 go to. When I ask him to watch all 3, he usually lets them out in the backyard and plays with them, but this past few visits, we had freshly poured concrete which required our dogs to be walked. He did it all without complaint and I know my dogs appreciate him as much as I do.

Highly recommend! We asked for a meet and greet before hiring him and he was happy to do so. Good reviews, good interview and attention to detail was exactly what we were looking for. We needed help for 18 drop in visits while we were out of town. He exceeded all of our expectations. Kevin was always punctual, did everything we requested and a little more. Good communication, pictures, updates and most importantly has a kind heart towards animals. Would definitely ask for his help again.

We had the pleasure of having Kevin take care of our cat for a week while we were in Japan, and we couldn’t be more grateful. Our cat can be quite aggressive, but Kevin handled everything with patience, care, and professionalism. He made sure all of our cat’s needs were met, and we returned home to a well-cared-for pet. While away, he kept us updated with pictures to ensure things were carefully managed and stayed in communication with us when needed. Knowing our cat was in good hands gave us peace of mind during our trip. We highly recommend Kevin for anyone looking for a reliable and dedicated pet sitter.

Schedule

I work full-time in Dayton, but my hours are 7-3, M-F. So I’m available for walks and drop-ins during the week before 6AM, and after 4PM. Obligations outside of work are fairly minimal so I can be very flexible with scheduled visits. Meet & Greets prior to a booking started are very important and I do not charge for those. My response time during the working day may be a little delayed, but I will always get back to you as soon as I can.

Kevin can host up to 3 drop-ins per day
Most important would be how well they get along with other dogs, and their own temperament. Our own dog is very friendly, and loves having someone around to play with. He’s good with all size dogs. Other than that, it’s best to know feeding times, how they play (with humans and dogs), do they like cats, their tendencies, etc.
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.
