Pet care fits naturally into my daily routine because I genuinely enjoy being around animals. My home life is calm, organized, and centered around family, which makes it easy to give pets the attention and structure they need. I plan my days to include time for walks, play, feeding, and relaxation, ensuring each pup feels secure and loved. Since I work from home and have a flexible schedule, I’m able to provide consistent care throughout the day and give each dog the time they deserve.

Information Kevin J. would like to know about your pet

It’s important for me to know your pet’s daily routine, medical needs, temperament, triggers, and how they interact with other animals and people. Every detail helps! After caring for my dogs for 12 years for one, 14 for the other, I no longer have pets in the home, but I’d love to be prepared for interactions on dog walks, etc. Let me know if you’re ok with your dog interacting with other dogs on dog walks or in the dog park and I’ll also know to use the park when it’s empty, or avoid other dogs on walks if necessary.

A typical day

Whether it’s a game of fetch in the fenced park across the street from my home, a long walk through the neighborhood, or a cozy cuddle session on the couch, I tailor activities to each pet’s personality and energy level. I love exploring local parks, playing tug-of-war, working on basic commands, and making sure your pet gets the exercise, attention, and affection they deserve. My goal is to keep them happy, SAFE, and engaged while you’re away!

Pet care experience

What sets me apart is my personal experience raising two beloved dogs into their senior years, along with a genuine passion for animals and their well-being. I offer a calm, clean, and safe environment where pups are treated like family. With insight from friends in veterinary care, I’m attentive to signs of discomfort, behavior changes, and health needs. Whether it’s playful walks, structured routines, or gentle senior care, I bring patience, love, and trust to every visit.

The week Kevin watch my dogs was the snow storm week. He was very accommodating from the begin to the end, understanding the circumstances due to the pending weather. I was so grateful for his help and support while watching my boys. My boys were taken care of and was so happy to be safe during my travel away/snow storm. Kevin is a blessing.

Kevin took great care of Chase. Chase enjoyed his time with Kevin. Kevin provide video showing his interaction with Chase and that Chase was good. I definitely recommend Kevin should anyone need a sitter...A+❣️

Kevin was very timely and communicative. He shared concerns promptly and looked for solution to support Anyx while we were away. If you are looking for someone to provide your pet with love and care you should look no further Kevin is your guy!
