Dogs think I'm one of them.

Pet care experience

Dogs just make life better. Being around happy dogs, I can’t help but smile and match their enthusiasm. I guess I’m an oddball...but I’m probably more excited to make new dog friends than human ones. I have experience with many a variety of dog breeds and I love them all. "Bully" breed? No worries! I will accept any breed. I am in a two bedroom apartment and I work from home so your pups can get as much attention as they desire! I'm from Chicago so the cold does not bother me, I will go for walks on brisk winter nights. I love taking dogs to 1000 Acre Dog Park. They have an off-leash area that’s great for exploring and all around fun (a hobby of mine). Another nearby place I’m excited to explore with a canine companion is the Powell Butte Nature Area. I also enjoy playing frisbee golf, which is great for dogs too! So far, they haven’t figured out how to throw the frisbee, but they seem to love it all the same. When staying indoors, I like to read, and play guitar and bass. Once you contact me, I’ll respond as quickly as possible. We’ll start off with a meet-and-greet on neutral ground so that you can all get to know me, and we can go over important details. I like to get down on the dog’s level and let them make the first move. If you give the go-ahead, I’ll give your dog some treats so that he or she can start to trust me right away. I’m really looking forward to being able to help you by providing a fun, caring, and safe environment for your dog! I am not able to accept cats. Walk availability is dependent on my work schedule. Please contact for more details.

Second time that Georgie stays at Kevin’s, and again, she had a lot of fun with a bunch of new friends and came back happy.

I have two friendly pups to keep yours company. If they ever want space to themselves, they are welcome to hang out with me in the office during while I am working, they can take over my room, and I have space for crates if that’s what they desire. For feedings I like to separate my pups from yours so everyone can feel comfortable to eat at their pace. I will usually have my two in one room and the visitors in another room. If you dog is used to being a grazer, I can keep their bowl in the office with me so my pups won’t steal food!

Information Kevin L. would like to know about your pet

All breeds accepted. Experience with "bully breeds" I'd love to know the following: What aspects of your schedule are most important for your dog? Any unique personality traits I should be aware of?

A typical day

We get out for a short walk in the morning before breakfast. Then while I work, the dogs are free to play with each, nap, spin in circles, really anything they desire that’s remains safe and friendly. I get an hour for lunch so I feed myself then we get out for good walk. We’ll go for a long walk or maybe a dog park once work is all done. In the evenings, we can play tug of war or run in more circles, and we’ll have time to relax, cuddle, and just enjoy each other’s company. Weekends are open for adventure and exploration!!
