Golden Retriever masquerades as Man

I've been told by many friends and family that I am a dog, just in human form 😅 I've grown up with dogs in the house, and adore them as pets. If you've ever heard anyone speak of animal magnetism or gravity, I certainly have it! While not currently having a dog of my own, I frequently watch my friends and families dogs happily, take them for walks, go to the park, teach them tricks, and generally help them live their best life. I'd love to share this passion for dogs for those that could use it! You can expect them to be well taken care of while with me 🙂

Kevin was great! Josie got lots of exercise and playtime. Came home freshly bathed which was an added bonus!

Kevin was great and very flexible with my bad timing. Nice big fenced in back yard. I will definitely use him again.

Very flexible with pick up and drop off times. Ruby seemed to have a wonderful stay.

Kevin was great! I have a very anxious dog and he took to Kevin right away. Very big fenced yard that the dogs loved. Kevin is very comfortable managing large dogs and took them for walks. I will definitely use him again. Thanks Kevin!

Kevin is accommodating and easy to work with. He took great care of my pup, Deacon who is 110 lbs of fun. Deacon is 10years old so he’s overall a mellow guy. I recommend Kevin!!

Schedule

I'm currently working a full-time first shift position, where I am away during the day. If boarding is needed during the week, you may expect your pet to have free range of the house (so long as they are non-destructive, and house trained). While home, I will care for them by playing with them in my large fenced-in backyard, playing fetch, playing with toys, going for walks around local neighborhoods, and generally playing with the dog in the manner that they most enjoy. As well, this may include trips to dog parks, parks, walks around local area lakes, and other fun adventures. This could include hiking.

Safety, trust & environment

I have a large fenced in backyard that dogs will have free range in. There are two large maple trees that give plenty of canopy coverage, and lots of room for squirrels and chipmunks to hide for doggy entertainment.

A typical day

If you would like your dog to learn a new trick, let me know what truck and I may be able to make it happen! I was able to teach an adult Border Collie mix how to roll over in two days, and taught the second family dog that my family had (Jackschund) sit, lay down, shake, high five, and stay!

It's important that I know of any special dietary needs that your pet may have, and on what schedule, as well as what foods may not work well with their digestive system well. I generally do not feed dogs anything not provided to me by their owner, without permission. I also ask that you disclose how well your dog gets along with other dogs, as there are many that live in my neighborhood, that we will very likely encounter. If your dog enjoys people without the company of other dogs, I can accommodate, but do need to know ahead of time. I would be thrilled to watch some "social butterflies" of the dog world.
