Long time petsitter

Pet care experience

Dogs have always been a big part of my life. Have a large fenced-in backyard and I own 2 dogs. All pet-sitting is insured thru this site. I charge $5 extra per day for puppies. Unlike other sitters, I pet sit in my own home so no worries about strangers in your home. Able to pet sit for hours or days. If owner uses a crate at home it must be used in host's home too. WILL ONLY TAKE IN ONE LARGE DOG AT A TIME and only from REPEAT clients. Will accept two dogs per sitting but must be small or med size such as a Cocker. Will not walk any dogs that pull. Will NOT walk large dogs. Please provide your own food and water bowls. Provide any bedding or toys your dog is used to. Have five years experience with injected medication and eye medication if necessary. No client dogs allowed on my bed overnight. **Since the lowest point of my fence is only 40 in, a height that can be breached by a large dog, I may end a Meet & Greet soon if I have any reservations about security. Owners have said they have had no problems with this, but I have an opposite viewpoint. If the dog is senior, I would be less worried.

Kevin was fantastic! My dog loved staying at his house. Kevin sent lots of photos and had a great communication.

Information Kevin K. would like to know about your pet

Basically, I will rely on the Meet and Greets. Every dog has their own personality. Are the dogs spayed or neutered? Are the dogs fence jumpers? Where do the dogs sleep overnight?

A typical day

Interaction with my two young Cocker Spaniels. Walks will be up and down the street. Will be home most of the time for security to minimize separation anxiety.
