Sincere & beyond responsible

Pet care experience

I was very fortunate to take early retirement from the logistics industry as a Product Manager which included trashing the shirt, tie and 3 hr RT commute into Boston and pursue something fun that I love, dogs...I take both your pet and home's security with utmost priority. I was required to pass an extensive STA back ground check & clearance conducted by the Federal Government, allowing me to work directly in the aviation industry as well as access to bonded areas. I am also a volunteer for a Rescue Dog organization and I am passionate about playing a role in helping abandoned & abused dogs find a home and the love that they so much deserve. I am extremely physically fit, work out 4-5 days per week and most of all honestly find so many dogs seek me out of a crowd when out in public. I have responsible transportation and I am open to many different scenarios/schedules as I know working professionals have unexpected changes. For my walkers & drop ins, please note, schedules permitting, you will receive a generous 30 or 60 min. walk/drop-in. I am very willing to also help you with other situations when stopping by for your pup. (Feeding a cat, grabbing the mail/package, or other small non related pet concerns that you may have) To give your dog the best experience possible, please note; - Meet & Greets required prior to all services/complimentary if at your home. - If we are compatible after meet & greet I do require detailed information on your dog. - I currently take one boarder at a time, but will happily take 2 small-medium size dogs if they are "siblings".

Kevin has been doing twice daily visits for our puppy for over two months now and we couldn’t be happier. He’s proven reliable and trustworthy. He always puts our girl first and we appreciate his reports letting us know what he and the pup got up to during the day. So reassuring. Thanks for taking care of our girl.

Thank you so much for taking care of our puppy Root Beer! Kevin is reliable, accommodating and communicative. We so appreciated the daily updates and photos of his drop-in visits/walks. If you want someone who is experienced, knowledgeable, and will put your dog’s safety and comfort first, you couldn’t ask for better than Kevin. We will gladly rebook with him again our Root Beer will be very happy about it.

Safety, trust & environment

I have a very large 6 ft stockade fenced yard as noted in my profile pictures. I generally mix up yard time with walks to give my boarders plenty of physical and much needed mental stimulation. Due to the length of the yard, dogs have ample space to run and feel completely free. There are plenty of squirrels and small critters to chase if so desired. This also holds true for any of my very local walkers and drop ins who are brought to my home for quality time. (An option available when time allows.)

Information Kevin K. would like to know about your pet

I have no issues caring for large dogs. I also understand many dogs can be timid/shy and I am very patient, willing to work with all dog personalities, including senior dogs who may need reassurance. I would not be able to care for any size dog with aggressive behavior, but high energy dogs of any size are welcome! (I ask that all dogs please be up to date on all vaccines, thank you.)

A typical day

My services are a little unique in that they provide more of a vacation with ONE on ONE time with your pup. We can discuss recreation options when we meet. If your pet is active, we will have the ability to play fetch, Frisbee or any other activities your dog enjoys right in our safe & large fenced yard. I am an avid walker and we also have several nearby quiet streets for walking if your dog prefers. Please know that our home offers a place of love and companionship for your dog both inside and out. I am definitely a four season and outdoor person raised in the Buffalo, NY area with 8 siblings and many dogs over the years. If your dog is willing we can do most any outdoor activities. I realize the importance of more than just a quick potty break for many dogs. If snoozing in a cozy home is more their preference that is fine too. I am sure that they will enjoy our home that we have worked hard to maintain, offering an exceptionally clean, safe and homey environment.
