Love dogs and miss mine from home
Pet care experience
In my time on Rover, I’ve cared for over 20 different breeds of dog ranging from tiny to XL and puppy to senior. I’d love to grow that list, because every different breed has something to love about them!

If you don’t love animals, then please do not become part of the Rover caregiver community. We entrusted Kevin to housesit with our two dogs while our family was away on Easter vacation. While we do not expect anyone to sit in the house 24 hours a day the Rover guidelines are found here…. https://support.rover.com/hc/en-us/articles/206461223-How-much-time-does-the-sitter-rate-cover we do expect the caregiver to "CARE" about the well-being of our pet family! During our meet and greet we presented Kevin with our contract which stipulated that our dogs were to be fed and let out at specific times during the day, and we entrusted him to provide TLC while we were out of town. Prior to his stay we asked that he provide a list of foods so he would have breakfast, lunch, dinner and snacks for his stay with our pups. This would allow him more opportunity to engage with two dogs and as a benefit to him. In short… Kevin did NOT let our dogs out for over 8 hours. Did NOT feed our one dog with digestive issues for over 8 hours. Kevin provided NO TLC to our dogs, PERIOD. However, Kevin did enjoy the food we provided. Having observed Kevin's timelines on our security system, I flew back home; leaving my family so they could enjoy their Easter vacay. I waited eight hours for Kevin to return to my home and immediately terminated the contract for breach of terms. Shameful!!!!
Puddin’ had a great stay with Kevin! She was happy and clearly well taken care of! Great attention to detail and communication the whole way through! Thanks again!
sheba had a great time with kevin! he was easy to communicate with and we received updates every day. thank you!
Kevin accepted our sitting on very short notice. Met with my husband and did everything we asked. We got pictures and updates. The house looks great. I'm so very thankful for his help!

My standard is to keep dogs leashed at all times and not take them around other animals. Nobody wants to be away from their pet and hear something has gone wrong. Everything I do when I care for your pet is to make sure that doesn’t happen. I live in Scott’s Addition and am familiar with Richmond, so anytime your pet needs to go outside or for a walk, I will happily take them for a stroll of the neighborhood.
Home
Information Kevin S. would like to know about your pet
I would be interested in hearing about the sorts of activities your dog likes or any quirks that they may have. Are they potty trained? Are they friendly toward other people/pets? I am happy to learn everything about your dog that you think I should know!
A typical day
I have a park down the street and live in a safe, residential neighborhood. Going for walks around the park and neighborhood or to go get coffee is something I do regularly. It’d be great doing it with a friend!

Availability
I am a master’s student at the University of Richmond. I attend classes at night a few times a week for a maximum of 3 hours. Other than social engagements, errands, etc I’m available. I understand that pets are part of your family and they will be a priority to me, because that’s what I would want for my dog.
