Pet care experience
Safe, Fun Dog Walks
Choose me if you want a safety-focused, enrichment-minded caregiver for your dog. I rely on positive-reinforcement methods—drawing from The Puppy Primer and guidance from professional trainers who helped me train my own dog. I’m a dependable walker and sitter who’s out at the dog park or on the trail nearly every day. With more than 10 years of dog-ownership experience, I’m committed to giving your pup attentive care, structured fun, and safe, engaging adventures.

Ratings and reviews
Kevin was great. We were stressed out because we needed a sitter at the last minute, but Kevin was very reassuring. When we met, our cat immediately warmed to him. He was very attentive to our cat's specific needs and an excellent communicator; I felt very comfortable leaving Raul in his care. Kevin sent regular photos and our cat was doing great when we returned.
Kevin took great care of my two cats while I was traveling. He was timely and proactive with communication, and flexible with the cats' behavior and moods. I would definitely recommend Kevin for cat care for anyone in the Santa Cruz area.
Kevin was great with our last minute housesitting request! Took good care of Luna and administered all her meds as requested!
Kevin did a great job cat sitting our three cats while we went away for over a week. He fed, brushed, played with the, and cuddled them all. The house was clean when we came home and he also took out our trash cans and brought in our mail. We will definitely use Kevin again for future trips. Thanks Kevin!
Kevin did a fantastic job taking care of our cats while we were away and we would highly recommend him as a pet sitter. Kevin was super reliable and responsive, and sent us daily detailed updates and photos of our kitties. He was very attentive to instructions for cat care including medication administration, kept things neat and tidy, and clearly cared a lot about our pets’ well-being. We came home to find some happy and relaxed cats, and we will definitely be booking with Kevin again.
Great dog watcher! Our dog had a blast with Kevin
