Safety, trust & environment

I have a spacious hatchback that I can use to transport your pets. I cannot care for pets in my own home due to a highly allergic roommate, but I can fetch pets and take them wherever they need to be.

Information Kevin J. would like to know about your pet

Please let me know of any special diets, medicines, nervous triggers, best-to-avoids, or anything else particular to your pet(s). I want them to feel the safest they can and be the healthiest they can be while their parents are away.

A typical day

I am as happy going on a many miles adventure as I am staying indoors and mellow. Each animal reacts differently to their owners being away, so if we need to play lots of games and go outside a bunch, Great! If we need to give each other our space and be patient, Great!

Pet care experience

I've had my own dogs and cats for most of my life ranging from easy going to skittish and temperamental. I've been a go to pet carer for family, friends, and for hire since I was a teenager. I have experience with pets with complex dietary needs, medication regiments, very shy animals who don't deal well with being apart from their families, and high energy critters who need lots of stimulation. I treat them all with the patience and kindness they deserve while they are apart from their owners. I'm not living with a pet for the first time in a long time and miss

Kevin is so kind and easy going and we love having him take care of our dogs and our home when we are away. He is incredibly trustworthy, a great communicator and loving and sweet with our dogs.

Kevin did a great job with taking care of my skittish cat! She was able to hide and do her own thing but Kevin made sure she was fed (with medication) and her litter box was taken care of. I appreciate that he even sent a picture of my cat while I was gone. She seemed perfectly fine after I came back.

Kevin was absolutely fantastic with our dog. Great energy, totally in tune with our dog, and extremely thoughtful and responsible. Thanks so much, Kevin!
