Calm, energetic, responsible
Pet care experience
I am a large human capable of handling the largest dogs. I believe in viruses and I am fully vaccinated. I am allergic to cats and not a big fan. Dogs generally love me, even shy animals tend to warm up to me quickly. I'm mostly looking to get exercise while enjoying some happy playtime outdoors. I travel enough that dog ownership isn't currently a responsible choice, so I'm happy to run and play with other people's pets for now. I had pets all of my life until college, but I have mostly just been helping take care of roommates' and friends' pets since then. If you're looking for someone to burn your pet's excess energy, I'm happy to jog/sprint with them for both of our benefit, or to do a multi-hour excursion on trails. I'm also possibly the country's only socialist financial advisor/options trading coach, a resourceful car and bike diagnostician/mechanic, and make wicked Parisian street baguettes and thin crust pizza; feel free to hit me up for those services as well.
Reviews
Kevin was great with the doggies! Definitely hiring him again for future walks!
Kevin has taken my dog Hank on walks and runs. Kevin's very enthusiastic about getting to spend quality time with Hank & showers him with treats. He will take very good care of your dog.
Kevin is genuine, friendly, and reliable. He’s a wonderful person all around and loved by people and dogs alike. I’ve watched him connect and play with dogs, small and big. Whether shy, anxious, or confident, dogs gravitate to him within seconds of meeting him… probably because of his calm energy and kind manner (or maybe it’s his hair?!) No doubt Kevin will give your dog the attention, love, and great fun they need and deserve.

Safety, trust & environment
Can't have pets in my apartment, so I cannot offer to care for you pet in my home. I'm a big fan of closing doors and gates when at other people's homes.
Information Kevin R. would like to know about your pet
Great to know how they generally act around strangers, and everyone loves learning about new dog quirks and abnormal habits. Favorite treats, can they go off leash, ball chaser or not, etc.
A typical day
Laurelhurst Park is a go-to spot. Running, jogging, lots of ball-throwing, and I generally make multiple loops daily. A pocketful of treats also makes for easy friends.

Availability
I work online in the morning, but am free after 1pm every day. Fun time with dogs and some walking and running is my standard afternoon.
