Like all pet owners, we don't like leaving our dogs in a kennel but on the other hand, we were apprehensive about leaving our precious fur babies in the hands of a stranger. After reading several profiles, we found that Kevin would probably take great care of our 2 dogs while we were out of town. And I was right! He stayed in our home and came over to meet the dogs twice prior to us finalizing our plans to hire him. He was very warm, gentle and affectionate with our dogs and they took a liking to him immediately. He was willing to follow all our instructions for their care and sent us pictures while we away. We were in touch constantly and at no time did we feel uncomfortable with our dogs in his hands. He took care of them as if they were his own. I think they bonded over the long weekend that we where away because when we returned home, they seemed attached to him. We are glad we found Kevin and we would not hesitate using him in the future. He truly is a dog lover.
