Friendly Local Pet Sitter!

Pet care experience

With a love for dogs and years of hands-on experience, I provide expert dog walking services that focus on your furry friend's happiness and health. As a devoted pet owner, I've cared for my cherished Border Collie for 7+ years, so I know how vital regular exercise is for dogs.

Kevin was awesome! He sent lots of pictures and kept me updated on how things were going. One of our dogs is a senior and requires extra attention, and Kevin took great care of him. It made our vacation stress free knowing they were in good hands! Thanks again Kevin!

Safety, trust & environment

When caring for pets in your home and during walks, I prioritize their well-being and ensure they receive the best possible care. I ensure pets receive their meals on time with the proper amount along with access to water. I engage pets in physical activities and play sessions that align with their energy levels and preferences. This includes interactive toys, running, or playing fetch. I maintain a consistent potty schedule, taking dogs outside at appropriate intervals to relieve themselves. I spend quality time with the pets, offering companionship, grooming (if required), and plenty of affection to create a comfortable and loving environment. I prioritize the safety of the pets during walks and ensure that the environment is safe from potential hazards. I use positive reinforcement techniques to encourage good behavior during walks, such as rewarding them with treats or praise. I maintain a watchful eye on the pets, ensuring their comfort and well-being throughout the walk. I'm attentive to their cues and adjust the pace or route if necessary.

Information Kevin S. would like to know about your pet

Please let me know your pets medicial information: any known medicial conditions, medications that need to be applied, dietary requirements, and other special needs. I would also be happy to get an overview of your pets behavior, both good and bad.

A typical day

When it comes to fun activities with the dogs I watch, I aim to provide engaging and enjoyable experiences tailored to their individual needs and preferences. If the client has a secure backyard, I love organizing interactive play sessions, playing fetch, or engaging in their favorite games. Taking dogs on nature walks can be a fantastic adventure. Whether it's a nearby park, trails, or a dog-friendly beach, I enjoy exploring new environments with the dogs while ensuring their safety and providing opportunities for them to explore and sniff around. If the dogs are sociable and enjoy the company of other canines, I may take them to local dog parks, where they can interact and play with other friendly dogs.
