Loving Care for your Fur Baby
Hi there! I’m Kevin, and I provide warm, personalized pet care in the Sacramento State area. I share my home with pets I care for in a calm, clean, and pet-friendly environment where they can feel safe, relaxed, and loved while you’re away. As someone who loves running and staying active, I especially enjoy taking dogs along the beautiful river paths right in front of my unit if they enjoy exercise and outdoor adventures too! Whether your pet prefers long walks, playtime, cuddle sessions, or a slower-paced routine, I always adapt my care to their personality and comfort level. I have over 10 years of experience caring for pets of all ages, sizes, and temperaments. I pride myself on being patient, empathetic, responsible, and highly communicative so pet parents always feel informed and at ease. I currently work part-time while preparing for higher education, and caring for animals is something I genuinely love. Your pet’s comfort, safety, and happiness are always my top priorities. I also provide regular photo and video updates so you can stay connected with your furry friend while you’re away. I treat every pet like family and strive to create a loving and enriching experience whether I’m caring for them in my home or yours. I’d love to meet you and your pet! 🐶🐾🐱

Thanks Kevin for your fast repsonse and taking care of Ebony
Nala boarded with Kevin for almost a week. He was very professional and reliably managed and communicated about her transfer and care, which was very reassuring as I was already traveling out of county. I was also grateful for his patience with us both - with Nala’s adjustment and my exhaustion at pick up. I would highly recommend Kevin and definitely book with him again.
Booked last minute and I’m grateful he was able to help me. I definitely recommend he is amazing! He took great care of my dog and she loves him
Kevin was great! He sent lots of photos throughout her stay, and I could tell Lola was happy, comfortable, and very well taken care of. I felt completely at ease knowing she was in good hands. I would definitely book with him again!
Kevin was amazing. He made sure our dogs were as comfortable as possible, took them on walks & runs, and made sure to keep an eye on them with his cameras when he wasn’t home. He even had a basket of toys for them to play with. We definitely felt safe leaving our babies with Kevin for the weekend and highly recommend him :)
We had a need of an emergency change in sitters while we were out of town (super stressful!) and Kevin was able to save the day! Amazing communication, great updates and photos, and truly went above and beyond in caring for our pup with walks and cuddles. Very thankful for the care and service provided by Kevin!

Schedule
Pet care fits perfectly into my daily routine, driven by my genuine love for animals. My day often begins with morning walks or runs, which not only keep me active but also allow me to enjoy quality time with the pets I care for. I schedule dedicated times for feeding, play, and grooming, ensuring that each pet gets the individualized attention they deserve. My flexible part-time job gives me the freedom to balance work and pet care seamlessly. Whether it’s taking dogs on hikes or engaging in playful activities with cats, I make sure that caring for pets is a joyful and integral part of my everyday life.
Where your pet will stay
Home characteristics
Safety, trust & environment
When caring for pets in my home, I prioritize safety and trust by providing a secure and welcoming environment tailored to their needs. I ensure that my space is pet-proofed, with safe areas for them to play and relax. A structured routine for feeding, walking, and playtime helps pets feel comfortable and reduces anxiety. In clients’ homes, I respect their space and routines while maintaining the same level of care and attention. I take extra precautions to follow any specific guidelines provided by pet owners, ensuring their pets feel secure and loved. Open and honest communication is key; I keep pet owners updated on their pets’ well-being, reinforcing trust and peace of mind. Whether in my home or theirs, my commitment is to create a safe and nurturing environment where pets can thrive.
A typical day
Some of the fun activities we enjoy include: • Daily walks or light jogs around the beautiful trails and parks in Natomas (for pups who love the outdoors!) • Tug-of-war, fetch, and puzzle games to keep both body and mind active • Snuggle time and belly rubs for pets who love quiet comfort • Enrichment activities like scent games or treat-dispensing toys • Photo shoots — we love capturing happy moments and sending you cute updates! We always adjust activities to match your pet’s energy level, age, and preferences. Whether they’re high-energy adventurers or gentle nap-lovers, we make sure their time with us is safe, stimulating, and full of love.

- To make sure your pet has the best experience possible, it helps to know a few important things ahead of time: • Does your pet have any health conditions, allergies, or medications? • What’s their daily routine like (feeding times, potty schedule, walks)? • How do they do around other pets, new people, or new environments? • Are there any behavioral quirks or things that make them anxious? • What are their favorite things — toys, treats, comfort items, or activities? • Do they have any off-limit areas or sensitivities we should be aware of? The more we know, the better we can tailor our care to keep your pet feeling safe, happy, and loved while you’re away.
