Pet care experience
🔥🐾🔥 IMPORTANT: Before sending a boarding/day care request, please be sure to complete your user profile AND your dog(s)' profile before submitting a boarding request to include: - Whether they are Spayed/Neutered - Whether they get along with other dogs - Whether they are house broken If this is incomplete - In the "Care Instructions" section, the amount of food to be served per meal, along with any meds or supplements should be listed as well I will ask that you complete your profile before I make a decision about keeping your pup if the profile does not include these important details. 🐾 Drop-off/Pick-up times begin at 8 am 🐾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) 3. Blanket/Towel for dog, if you wish 🐾WHAT SHOULD I NOT BRING? 1. Toys - I have plenty and keep toys away from the dogs in common areas to avoid bickering 2. Bowls - Unless your dogs needs a slow feeder bowl, I have plenty of bowls for food and water and even have one slow-feeder bowl, so feel free to ask if it's available. 🐾 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 things are handled. 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.
Reviews
Kevin is not only a fantastic dog sitter, but is also a great person! He sent updates multiple times a day, was really informative about his process of watching pups and just overall takes good care of your pet. This was our first time leaving our baby, but you would’ve thought it was her 10th time. From us and Juno, thank you!
Kevin, you are the man! Thanks for taking care of Phoebe! She always has a great time especially since she has other buds to play with!
Treated my girl like a spoiled princess! Thank you so much for taking her last minute
We are so grateful that we can leave our pup with a peace of mind knowing he’s in great hands with Kevin. He treats all the dogs in his home as his own fur babies. Thank you for all you do! PS. Roscoe loves his uncle Kevin!❤️

Safety, trust & environment
I have a fully fenced yard and do not allow bullying of any kind. No toys are allowed in common areas to avoid resource guarding and everyone is free to lounge on the furniture and floors, as they have their own furniture and lounge area. I'm generally available to interact with the dogs most of the day, barring work calls, video calls, or meetings.
Home
Information Kevin S. would like to know about your pet
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. I have no breed preferences, whatsoever. I believe every dog is great, even though they have different behavioral tendencies according to their breeds.
A typical day
I love to sit under the sun sail 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.

Availability
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 about about 30 minutes of relaxation to allow their food to settle, then it's playtime, as we alternate being outside and inside to ensure everyone can get some exercise and fresh air as well as come back inside to cool down.
