I have in the past few months opened my life up in a way I have never done before. I wanted to experience a lot more freedom and flexibility and so that’s exactly what I have:) Well, that doesn’t disclose an exact schedule, I do want to communicate that I’m happy to discuss whatever schedule may reveal itself. I’m sure we can work something out:)

Safety, trust & environment
You’ll notice the similar theme in what I expressed here compared to the other sections, regarding safety, trust and environment. I don’t mean to sound repetitive, but considering that we’re talking about a person’s home and family, I think, touching on repeated themes of trust, integrity, and good stewardship are well worth a revisit: 🤓🥰 I know that when you invite someone into your home, you’re not just trusting them with your house—you’re trusting them with members of your family. That’s a responsibility I hold with great care, and I don’t take it lightly. My goal is to honor the routines you’ve created, provide calm and attentive companionship, communicate openly, and care for your home and your animals with genuine respect. I believe consistency helps pets feel safe, so I do my best to maintain their normal routines while also paying close attention to their comfort, behavior, and individual needs. Whether I’m staying overnight or stopping by for a visit, you can expect thoughtful updates, dependable communication, and a home that’s cared for with the same respect I give your companions. I strive to leave your home just as you left it—clean, secure, and well cared for. Above all, I hope you can leave with complete peace of mind, knowing your companions are safe, understood, and cared for by someone who truly sees them as family. My commitment is to provide faithful stewardship of both your home and the family members who share it.
Information Kevin H. would like to know about your pet
I would love to know about any particular preferences, desires, or needs that your pet has, or that you might have for them. I really just want offer the best experience I can for everybody, for the whole experience to be a win-win-win. 🏅 So whatever information you can share with me that would help that happen would be greatly appreciated. ✨☺️
A typical day
Depending on the dog and their temperament and the experience they have; one of my favorite things to do is to play tag with dogs, and sometimes kitties. Its so fun to get into the human version of dogs notable playful stance and make that little soft “gruff” sound they make, shake my head like they do and then either chase or be chased or invite them to play through that positioning and begin throwing a ball/ stick or whatever they enjoy most:) With kitties, we mostly do peekaboo, or I’ll use one of their toys that allows them to catch and chase~ 🐁 As you know, play can also be very particular to each animal friend we have, but this is the approach I take, the general energy that I’m in with them:) And course we go for walks and things like that too! 🐾😸

Pet care experience
Welcome! I’m happy to share with you that I’ve been caring for animals for over 30 years, including dogs, cats, reptiles, farm animals, plants, and homes. Throughout that time, I’ve had the privilege of caring for pets of all ages, personalities, and needs—from energetic puppies/kitties and large breed dogs to senior pets who require medication, extra patience, and specialized care. *Before we move forward; an important sidenote to share is that you might notice in my review section some people will call me by my nickname, which is Azraiel, I’ve had that name for so many years that I have to include it in this little section here so that everybody has clarity😇) Moving forward~ One thing that has always mattered to me is understanding that every animal communicates differently. Dogs tend to wear their hearts on their sleeves, while cats often express themselves in much quieter ways. Learning those differences has helped me recognize when they’re excited, anxious, playful, uncomfortable, or simply looking for reassurance. I pay close attention to changes in behavior, appetite, mobility, and mood because those small details often tell us exactly what our companions need. I believe our animals are family members who trust us with their lives, and I believe they deserve to be cared for with that same love, respect, and attentiveness that I would offer my own family. Every pet has their own personality, routines, and preferences, and I enjoy getting to know each one as an individual. I also know that consistency helps pets feel safe and secure, so I do my best to follow their normal routines as closely as possible—whether that’s feeding schedules, walks, medication, playtime, bedtime, or simply giving them quiet companionship when that’s what they need. I bring a calm, patient presence and allow animals to build trust naturally, never forcing interactions. Along with compassionate care, I believe professionalism is equally important. I value clear communication, thoughtful updates, and dependable service. I enjoy sending photos and messages so you can relax knowing how your companion is doing while you’re away. You can also count on me to arrive on time (usually a little early), carefully follow your instructions, and treat both your pets and your home with the utmost respect. I take pride in leaving your home clean, secure, and just as you left it. My goal is simple: when you leave, I want you to have complete peace of mind. And when you return home, I hope you’re greeted by companions who feel safe, loved, understood, and genuinely cared for. That’s the standard I hold myself to every time I care for someone’s home and the family members who share it. Lastly, I know what it’s like to place your trust in someone else to care for those you love most, and I don’t take that responsibility lightly! 😊❤️🔥 Thank you for reading my little note here, I appreciate your time and energy~ Looking forward to connecting with you and your pet fam! 🐶🤍😻

Reviews
My family and I—including our fur babies (a kitty, a doggo, and a snake)—recently had the absolute pleasure of getting to know Azraiel. He is a phenomenal pet and house sitter! He brings a calm energy, excellent attention to detail, and is truly wonderful with animals. He took the time to learn all of their unique routines and showed incredible patience with their personality quirks. Our animals can be quite finicky with new people, but they have completely warmed up to him! Azraiel also took fantastic care of our home, remaining highly respectful and clean. I wouldn't hesitate to recommend him for your pets and household. We are thrilled to have found him and will absolutely use his services again!
Kevin was the best! So upbeat and attentive. Very open communication, and his willingness and readiness to make sure our dogs were receiving the best care was so appreciated. We have lots of trails around us, and he made sure we saw him and our pups out having adventures. I would use him again and again.
Azraiel sat for us twice for us this summer and did an excellent job each time. He really bonded with our pups and exercised them daily. They were happy and bright upon our return. He paid attention to detail and kept the house in great shape and clean. Our plants thrived under his care. He kept us updated with texts, audio messages and pics frequently, and was able to troubleshoot small issues well. We would not hesitate to invite him back for more sits in the future and highly recommend him for house/pet sitting.
Azraiel petsat for our 2 cats and bearded dragon for a week and was great! He was communicative beforehand and allowed ample time in a meet and greet to learn our animal routine. He sent messages while we were away and was attentive to the needs of our elder kitty who needs multiple feedings per day. He was open to learning about the care of our beardie and took great care of him. He left our house very clean for our return and he sent a detailed message about how everything went before we returned. I highly recommend Azraiel and would have him petsit again in a moment. He is a kind person who truly cares about the animals he’s petsitting.
