Dog’s Best Friend!

Pet care experience

I've been taking care of pets since I was a teenager. My family was constantly adopting stray dogs and cats to give them a loving home so I've developed skills to help relate to the special needs of our four legged friends. I'm great at adapting activities to the needs of each pet be it playing fetch with a high energy Lab or curling up quietly with high anxiety cat. I work from home so I can be there 24/7 for your pets with an inclosed yard. Live close to a pet friendly park for long walks or social interaction.

Kevin is terrific with Gidget. She does the zoomies and squeals when she sees him. Any dog parent knows there's no larger seal of approval than that! His place has a nice private and secure courtyard, which makes it a great area for Gidget to chill, potty, and play. He has a terrific disposition; you can tell he truly loves taking care of animals. He also taught me how to give a proper "doggie massage." Highly recommend.

If I could give Kevin S. more than five stars, I absolutely would! From the moment he stepped into our home to take care of our beloved furry family members, Gracie, Hudson, and Wallis, I knew we had found the perfect pet sitter. His dedication, attentiveness, and genuine love for animals were evident from the very beginning. Gracie, our senior king charles spaniel, requires special attention and medication due to her age-related health issues. Kevin took the time to listen carefully to our instructions and followed them meticulously. He ensured Gracie received her medications on time and was always there to provide the extra support and comfort she needed. It was heartwarming to see the bond that developed between Kevin and Gracie during his stay. Hudson, our playful and energetic beagle, can be quite a handful, but Kevin managed him with ease and patience. He took Hudson on long walks, played fetch tirelessly, and ensured he got the exercise he needed to stay happy and healthy. We received regular updates with photos and videos of Hudson having a blast with Kevin, which reassured us that our boy was in great hands. Wallis, our mischievous little cat, can be a bit standoffish with new people, but she seemed to warm up to Kevin faster than we anticipated. He must have a magic touch with felines because Wallis was often found snuggled up next to him, which is something she rarely does with anyone else. What truly sets Kevin apart is his genuine love and care for animals. It was evident that he treated Gracie, Hudson, and Wallis as if they were his own. He went above and beyond in ensuring their comfort and happiness while we were away. Not only did he take care of their physical needs, but he also provided the love and attention they needed to feel secure in our absence. We were initially worried about leaving our fur babies behind while going on vacation, but Kevin's professionalism and compassion quickly put our minds at ease. We could relax knowing that they were in the best hands possible. Kevin kept our home tidy and even watered our plants without us asking, showing his thoughtfulness and responsibility. Upon our return, we could tell that Gracie, Hudson, and Wallis were well taken care of and had formed a strong bond with Kevin. They were happy and content, and we are forever grateful to him for providing such a positive pet-sitting experience. In conclusion, Kevin Sabo is a true gem of a pet sitter, and we wholeheartedly recommend him to anyone seeking someone trustworthy and loving to care for their furry family members. Gracie, Hudson, Wallis, and we, their humans, couldn't have asked for a better pet sitter. Thank you, Kevin, for everything you did for our precious pets! We'll definitely be reaching out to you for future pet sitting needs.

Information kevin s. would like to know about your pet

The more I know about your dog the better companion I can be. What are their likes and dislikes? Do they have any fears or sensitivity to certain stimuli? Of course any illness, pain, or other issues are important to know. I want to make sure that they have the best possible time with me for both their enjoyment and your peace of mind!

A typical day

Sometimes I think I enjoy playing games with dogs as much as they do and have been doing it since I was a kid.It’s important to me to meet each dog where they are, meaning I like to find activities that they enjoy and go from there. I love playing fetch (with their favorite item). I’ve taught dogs to catch, jump, sit, shake, roll over, and even to swim. I’ve recently taught my mother’s dog to play hide and seek with treats (I hade them and he finds them). I love walking dogs and if space allows running relays or chasing frisbees is great.
