Pet care experience

Stable Home Envi.-Retired Dad Helps

I always get asked to take care of dogs for neighbors and my friends. They know I go the extra mile just because! My family consists of experienced prior dog owners. We bring an adventurous and playful environment that is balanced between home and outings. Someone is always around to play. I grew up with dogs and cherish them so much. After my old family dog Pepper passed, we decided to take a break from immediately adopting. The house is too quiet now and we welcome and look forward to boarding opportunities with open arms! Nice yard (unfenced) and also 10 minutes from Rockefeller Preserve for walks.

Kevin and his family were very welcoming to Ollie and made him feel like part of the family where everyone helped take care of him. He's a recent adoptee and so we were concerned about leaving him with another family so soon but he really seemed to get along with everyone and fit right in. He got lots of long walks and snuggles and did really well. Overall we were super happy with how well he was taken care of. Thank you Kevin and the rest of the family!

This was Phoebe’s second stay with Kevin. He took great care of her, and I can tell she’s always happy to see him. Kevin was careful to keep to Phoebe’s schedule, which I appreciate!

Thank you so much. Kevin and his family are really kind and welcoming. It was clear that they took great care of our pup. Great communication throughout Jax’s stay with them. We will repeat for sure

Kevin and his parents took great care of Phoebe. Their household is warm and welcoming, and they gladly invited Phoebe into their family. She seemed relaxed and happy when I picked her up after her stay. Will be using Kevin and his family again!

Lovely family who treated our dog like their own. Our sweet beast was very happy there and his affection for them was evident when we picked him up! Will definitely book again!

Safety, trust & environment

I will walk, feed, pet and even entertain the idea of taking the dog on suggested outings. I am open to playing, fetch, chase, or ‘zoomies’ with your pet and try to match their fun energy. I also have a safe environment where we allow for chill out time such as the couch with me. It’s a peaceful spot in the ‘burbs! I think dogs in general adjust well to my stable family dynamic at home.

A typical day

I love to taking the dogs to a new environment in nature where they can walk, explore and feel free. I think the best types of enrichment include new types of play and seeing new places to get the muscles moving!

I can accommodate special diets, needs, tendencies that your dog may have. I have cared for puppies up to elderly dogs in my time and know that every dog is different. Quirkiness is just another part of character, kindly let me know anything special before drop off!
