Experienced Dog Handler & Dog Lover

🐾 Drop-off/Pick-up times begin at 8 am and end at 9pm each day 🐾WHAT SHOULD I BRING FOR MY DOG'S VACATION STAY? 1. Leash/Harness 2. Food/Medicines (also include frequencies and amounts of food/meds in care instructions on your dog's profile) 🐾WHAT SHOULD I NOT BRING? 1. Toys 2. Bowls 3. Kennels 🐾 WHAT IF I'M NERVOUS ABOUT HOW MY DOG WILL BEHAVE AND AM NOT AN EXPERIENCED DOG HANDLER? No problem. Lack of understanding of K-9 behavior can make owners feel uncertain when their dogs meet new friends. Especially if owners do not regularly socialize their dogs and are apprehensive about interactions. If this is the case, feel free to communicate about your concerns and I will walk you through how to handle your dog so that life is much easier for you. Photos and/or videos are sent out several times a day so that you will see some of the fun we have during playtime and will know how your dog is doing. My yard is fully fenced, providing a safe environment for pups to explore. I also have a Sun Sail shade on the patio with water bowls and an outdoor fan to keep the pups cool. I have plenty of time to interact with dogs and have quite a bit of flexibility with my business, which makes it convenient for me to care for pets while I work. Inside, the dogs have their own furniture. All dogs eat in separate quarters to avoid resource guarding and ensure that no one is having their food stolen.

Kevin did an amazing job taking care of our dog while we were out of town. He is extremely knowledgeable and kind. You can easily tell that he is passionate about taking care of dogs. We did not feel any worry about our dogs well being or enrichment needs being met. Kevin made sure we were in the loop why sending multiple pictures of our dog daily. We will definitely be using his services moving forward!

Kevin was great with my dog Beni! He is very knowledgeable about dogs and was very attentive to Beni’s needs. I enjoyed getting pictures and updates every day and could tell that Beni was having a blast! Thank you Kevin!

Schedule

Each morning, we spend time outside before breakfast to get the dogs' blood flowing and to work up an appetite. After potty and play, we come back inside for breakfast, followed by about 30 minutes of relaxation to allow their food to settle, then it's playtime again.

Safety, trust & environment

I do not allow bullying of any kind. I'm generally available to interact with the dogs most of the day, as I manage my career from home.

A typical day

I generally sit and work in the backyard with the pups and watch them play. We lounge inside quite a bit, due to Florida's severe heat most of the year, but the dogs have their own furniture here and plenty of tiled space to cool off when we come back inside.

It's important for owners to complete their profiles with pictures, emergency contact info, vet info, daily feeding habits, feeding measurements and frequencies, spay/neuter information, how your dog behaves around other dogs, and special needs or medical conditions they might have. This allows me to make informed decisions about their care.
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.
