Busy lifestyle? I can help!

Pet care experience

Have you ever come home after a long day of work to find trash all over the floor or the couch ripped apart? This occurs because your pet is bored. Mental and physical stimulation play a big part of pet ownership but sometimes there is not enough time to give your pet the attention they need. Hiring a pet sitter can eliminate the boredom and loneliness your pet faces during the day. Finding the right pet sitter can be a daunting task. First, you want someone who is reliable, dependable, friendly, and trustworthy. In addition, you have several questions. Will my pet get along with the pet sitter? Are the pet care services up to my standards? Does my pet sitter give my pet the attention it demands? What if my pet gets sick or injured while I’m gone? Your pet is a family member and requires personalized care just like the rest of the family. Whether you are away or just work long hours I can provide the services needed to make you and your pets comfortable in a safe and loving environment. My name is Kevin and our family has fostered and sat pets for the past 5 years. We have fostered many different breeds from puppies to seniors. We have sat for dogs with epilepsy and dogs who have been a bit shy. Fostering has made us really appreciate dogs to the point where we adopted one. We have a 4-year-old Catahoula Leopard mix who is a playful boy. Upon receiving an inquiry about watching your pet we'll do a meet and greet to make sure we are compatible and I'll find out the pet's routine. My goal is to make you comfortable and keep to your pet's schedule without him missing a beat. There will be some time for play and socialization, potty breaks and feeding, and training and learning of basic commands if needed. I can also look after your home by collecting mail and newspapers, watering plants, or providing additional services as needed. Why I love dog sitting I became a dog lover after our first foster, a female pit bull named Piper. We were hesitant to foster a pit bull as our first dog but we loved having her. We began fostering to see if we really liked dogs. Since Piper, we have fostered 20 others and adopted two. About my yard We have about 3/4 acre of land. Our yard is in the process of being fenced in. We provide dogs with 2 walks a day for exercise and also have a bark park in town for some off leash time. My experience administering medication Yes. I have provided many dogs and cats with medication for epilepsy to diabetes both orally and injections.

Information Kevin J. would like to know about your pet

I'd like to know the dog's routine and any special needs they may have. Their eating, sleeping, and exercise schedule are my main focus. I would also need to know if your dog can get along well with other dogs. I do not have any breed preferences.

A typical day

Here's where we'll take our walks We will take the dogs on walks around your neighborhood or local park. Your dog's sleeping arrangement The dog will sleep in a similar place to where they sleep at home. I have 2 crates and a dog bed. There is also plenty of floor space. Time I'll spend with your dog During your pet's stay, your dog would be playing with Miles. If they ever stop playing then we like to hang out with the dog, take them for walks, and socialize with your pet. Your pet will come back to you tired. Time I'll spend with your dog A couple hours a day would be the minimum. I would discuss with each owner what is expected and how much attention their dog needs. Extra house-sitting services Yes, I can provide additional services upon request.
