Availability

My work schedule involves many periods in which I don't need to be at my desk and just need to keep up with emails/google chat on my phone; this means I'm free for dog walking/pet sitting during a lot of my workday, depending on how busy I am with assignments.

Pet care experience

I live and work in LIC. I took care of my Labradoodle, Benny, for 15 years and like playing with dogs in general. Since moving to the city, I’ve watched pets on rover for 3 years and have experience with everything from tiny chihuahuas to human sized Great Danes and everything in between.

Very grateful to Kevin for looking after my pets! They can be a lot to handle, but I can tell Kevin played with them and took care while I was away. When I came home, they were sleeping without a hoot! Will definitely ask for a second booking with Kevin next time I need a sitter!

Kevin was great from the start and even though my poor dog got sick while he was watching him he took such great care of him and communicated every detail and dealt with all of the clean up (sorry Kevin!) I came home to a clean place and a happy dog couldn’t ask for more!

Each sitter joining Rover needs to pass a background check. And by booking on Rover, you can get photo & message updates, 24/7 support, and reimbursement for eligible vet care.
