Yer Pooch’s Pal

Pet care experience

Hi I’m Kevin 👋 I’ve always loved dogs (and cats) and my heart melts for them. Had them as a kid and as an adult. But my sweet furry baby passed and I’m not ready for another dog in my life right now. But I miss that interaction, and I’m looking to find some new dog buddies here :) Also, I have a unique situation in life where I have created TIME...time and space for presence, for whatever I give my attention to. This has enabled me to find some dogs to round out my life again! I offer services to all types of dogs, big to small, easy to high needs. Speaking of high needs, I also have extensive experience with animals with extra care/support needs. My old buddy (since passed) fought a couple bouts with cancer, including surgeries, diy homemade raw food diet for 9 years, supplements, etc, and I feel very comfortable working with such dogs with special diets and care needs. Love the easy dogs too of course :) I also have experience with cats needing extra care from surgeries/fights/medicine e.g: My former roommate’s cat needed a syringe aspiration nightly and I did that with no problem for several days. I’m not quite as talented as César Millán, but I’m pretty darn good. I ‘get’ animals and their behavior...it makes sense to me pretty easily. And animals tend to like me and feel comfortable with me 👍 And as I’ve said above, I’ve purposely created time in my life, to slow down for myself and my relationships with others, including my animal pals! ...I’m trying to say I’m patient and have the time to be patient :) Hope you hit me up!

Kevin is an excellent pet sitter. He has taken care of our very special needs dog super well. He gave Rocco several medications. Rocco is pretty anxious and always seems very comfortable woth Kevin. He’s been super flexible with his schedule for us too. He’s also great with our cats. He takes really nice care of the house when he stays. I’m really glad to have him as a resource. I probably shouldn’t tell you how awesome he is, because I want him to be available for me!

Kevin is amazing with animals. He’s helped care for my family’s dogs and cats for many years. I would trust him with my dog for any time period, and know that she will be safe, well cared for, and have a fun time!

Kevin is the definition of a dog lover! He’s had dogs his entire life and raised them from birth to the big dog park in the sky. He has watched our dogs many times and they absolutely love him (I think they’re secretly sad when we get home)! He took care of his sweet Kuma (boxer mix) after he was diagnosed with cancer at 4 and he lived to be 13 due to Kevin’s efforts. Kevin spent hours every week making a special diet for Kuma and spent thousands of dollars on treatments that kept his pup happy and active and alive far beyond veterinary experts projections. Isn’t that the kind of person you want to watch over your sweet animals? Kevin is also just an incredibly responsible person in all respects and I would trust him with anything. He’s honest and thoughtful and competent. We don’t worry one bit when Kevin housesits for us and cares for our beloved pups!!

Kevin is such an animal lover. He has offered long and short term animal care for both our dog and cats for many years. Kevin is patient, friendly, attentive, and detail oriented. It is clear he enjoys his friendships with animals and they love him right back. Our dog was very anxious in new situations and Kevin always knew how to put him at ease. Our dog and cats love Kevin because he is always up for playing.
