Highlights
Pet care experience
Dog Lover / Work From Home
I’ve been around dogs my whole life and caring for them has always been a big part of who I am. Growing up in Colombia, my family and I would feed and welcome stray dogs, and we adopted our own family dog when he was just 45 days old. I regularly look after the dogs of family and friends, so I’m experienced with dogs of different personalities and needs. I understand how important it is to know your pet is in safe, caring hands while you’re away. Whether you’re going on holiday or simply need someone to look after your dog while you’re at work, I’d be happy to provide them with plenty of love, attention, walks, and care.
Qualifications
Ratings and reviews
We were very happy with our doggieminder Kevin and his partner while we went away for a few days. Marcel obviously enjoyed his stay with them and they were very good at keeping in touch with us sharing little videos and pictures. It was very reassuring although Marcel was very happy to come home when we returned, I had good confidence that he was in very good hands while we were away. I would have no hesitation to use Kevin again or to recommend Kevin to others.
Thank you so much Kevin & Tim - Lola loved her day with you! She was so happy when I collected her. We received updates, photos and videos throughout the day. We felt rest assured that she was well looked after ☺️ thanks again!
⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ If you’re looking at Kevin and Tim’s profile and wondering why they don’t have as many reviews as some of the other sitters on this app, please don’t let that deter you. It is simply because they haven’t been on the app for as long. I can say with complete confidence that in six months’ time, their profile will be full of five-star reviews and I’m genuinely honoured to be one of the first people to leave one. Kevin and Tim were absolutely incredible with Engie. From the moment we met them, we felt completely comfortable leaving him in their care, and over the long weekend they went above and beyond in every possible way. They took him on several walks every day and constantly kept us updated with photos and videos, which we absolutely loved. They asked questions whenever they needed to rather than making assumptions, and it was obvious throughout his stay that they genuinely cared about him. Engie also tends not to eat very much when he’s away from us. When he wasn’t eating his dry food, Kevin and Tim contacted us and asked whether they could give him some chicken. After getting our permission, they actually went out of their way to boil chicken for him to encourage him to eat. That small example probably tells you everything you need to know about the level of care they gave him. They catered to everything he needed, kept us reassured throughout and treated Engie as though he were their own. So if the number of reviews is making you hesitate, honestly, don’t. You’re simply finding Kevin and Tim early. Give it six months and I have absolutely no doubt this page will be covered in five-star reviews from other dog owners saying exactly what I’m saying now. They are fantastic people, fantastic dog sitters, and we would leave Engie with them again in an absolute heartbeat. Thank you both for taking such incredible care of him. ❤️🐾
Kevin was a total dream to liaise with, wonderfully communicative and warm, and he looked after Devo impeccably. Devo boarded at Kevin's place, and he loved the outdoor terrace Kevin has there. I'd entrust Devo to him again without hesitation.
Kevin is a very responsible, caring, and reliable dog sitter. He is so great with dogs and takes the time to make sure they are well looked after, comfortable, and happy. I felt completely confident leaving my dog in his care and would happily recommend him to anyone looking for someone trustworthy to look after their pet.

Schedule
I live in a spacious two-bedroom first-floor flat with a large, secure balcony. I work from home Monday to Friday from 8:00 am to 4:30 pm, so your dog will have company and plenty of attention throughout the day. I’m available for boarding on both weekdays and weekends.
Where your pet will stay
Home characteristics
Safety, trust & environment
I don’t have any pets or children, so your dog will enjoy a calm and quiet environment. They’ll have access to all the rooms in our home, as well as our secure balcony, where they can relax under supervision. I’ll always follow your dog’s usual routine, including feeding times, walks, playtime, and any special care instructions. If your dog is crate-trained, I’m happy to set up a comfortable space for their crate so they feel safe and at home during their stay
A typical day
I’ll tailor their day to their energy levels and routine. We can enjoy playtime at home with their favourite toys, and mental stimulation throughout the day. I can provide short morning walks, followed by a longer lunchtime walk or afternoon walk. I live close to the Parkland Walk, where your dog can enjoy nature. For more active dogs that love an adventure, I’m also happy to take them on longer walks around Alexandra Palace, giving them plenty of exercise and enrichment. Above all, I’ll make sure your dog has fun, stays active, and feels safe, comfortable while they’re with me.
