Pet care is a fulfilling extension of my daily life and personal passions. I share my home with two beloved rescue dogs — Winston, a certified therapy dog who brings comfort and joy to individuals in hospitals, nursing homes, and rehabilitation facilities, and Livie, a spirited three-legged pup whose resilience and energy inspire everyone she meets. They remind me daily of the importance of compassion, patience, and dedicated care. While I maintain a full-time professional career during weekday business hours, I am fully available for pet care services during all weeknights and weekends. I hold one master’s degree, three bachelor’s degrees, and maintain two professional licenses, and I integrate pet sitting, walking, and animal companionship into my evening and weekend routines. Every pet in my care receives focused attention, consistency, and genuine love. My schedule allows me to prioritize the needs of pets and their families. Whether providing evening walks, overnight stays, weekend visits, or extended companionship, I approach each opportunity with the same dedication and attentiveness that I give to Winston and Livie. My flexibility during non-working hours enables me to deliver exceptional service and peace of mind to pet owners seeking reliable, high-quality care outside of traditional business hours.

Safety, trust & environment
When entrusted with the care of pets in my clients' homes, I approach the responsibility with the utmost professionalism, attentiveness, and respect. I believe that maintaining a pet’s familiar environment nurtures a sense of security and emotional well-being, which is why I prioritize preserving each pet's routine as closely as possible — from feeding schedules and walks to playtime and quiet companionship. I am available to stay overnight in clients’ homes during weeknights and weekends (if needed), offering continuity of care and providing a reassuring presence for pets who thrive on stability and human connection. During my stay, your pet becomes my primary focus. I ensure that all of their needs — physical, emotional, and social — are met with patience, affection, and individualized attention. I also share my life with two rescue dogs of my own: Winston, a calm and certified therapy dog who brings comfort to everyone he meets, and Livie, a spirited three-legged pup who embodies resilience and joy. I include them in my pet sitting duties (sometimes) when appropriate. Whether staying for a single night or an extended period, I treat each home and pet with the same level of care and integrity that I expect for Winston and Livie. My commitment is to offer peace of mind to owners and a comforting, safe experience for their cherished companions. FOR HOUSE SITTING, I ASK THAT ALL INDOOR/OUTDOOR CAMERAS OR RECORDING DEVICES BE DISCLOSED BEFORE THE BOOKING, INCLUDING THEIR LOCATIONS. I’m comfortable with disclosed cameras in common areas, but I do require privacy in sleeping areas and bathrooms.
Information Kevin W. would like to know about your pet
It’s important for me to know if your pets have any special needs, routines, or behaviors so I can provide the best possible care. Please share details about medical requirements, dietary restrictions, mobility limitations, or medications, as well as any anxieties, quirks, or behavioral tendencies (such as fear of storms, separation anxiety, or reactivity on walks). The more I know ahead of time, the better I can tailor my care to keep your pets safe, comfortable, and happy while you’re away.
A typical day
A typical day with me is centered around your pet’s comfort, routine, and happiness. I start by learning their usual schedule — feeding times, walks, play, and quiet moments — so I can provide consistency and keep them feeling secure while you’re away. Fun activities depend on each pet’s personality and energy level. For active dogs, I enjoy going on walks, playing fetch, or exploring the yard or neighborhood together. For pets who prefer a slower pace, I’m just as happy to provide gentle companionship, cuddle time, and enrichment toys to keep their minds engaged. Cats get special play sessions with their favorite toys, or peaceful lap time if that’s what they love most. My goal is to create a balance of exercise, stimulation, and relaxation tailored to each pet’s needs. At the end of the day, I want them to feel loved, content, and cared for — just as if you were there with them.

Compassionate Therapy Dog Handler
Pet care experience
I bring a blend of expertise, compassion, and professionalism to the world of pet care. A lifelong dog enthusiast, my dedication to animal well-being extends far beyond the home and into the community. I share my life with two beloved rescue dogs — each with a unique story and personality that shapes my approach to care. Winston, my 10-pound certified therapy dog, is a gentle soul who brings comfort and joy to individuals in hospitals, nursing homes, and rehabilitation facilities. He’s calm, affectionate, and adored by everyone he meets — humans, dogs, and even cats. Winston is more of an introvert, happiest when he’s curled up relaxing, though he enjoys socializing at his own pace. Livie, my spirited three-legged rescue, is living proof of resilience. Despite losing a leg after multiple fractures before I adopted her, she runs, plays, and lives life with the energy of any four-legged pup. She’s friendly, outgoing, and loves to be part of the action, never letting her past hardships define her. Together, Winston and Livie reflect the heart of my philosophy: every animal deserves to feel safe, nurtured, and loved. I approach pet sitting with the same thoughtful attention and integrity I apply to therapy dog work — respecting each pet’s individuality, creating a calm and reassuring environment, and giving meticulous attention to their unique needs. For me, pet care is both an art and a responsibility. My goal is simple: to give pet parents peace of mind while providing joy, comfort, and companionship to the animals entrusted to my care.
Reviews
Kevin is awesome. 10 out of 10. Oreo just loves him. He doesn't want to come back after his walks. He comes back a better dog. I don't know what Kevin does but he's the best. Highly recommend.
Kevin takes good care of Ike and Rosie. We feel totally comfortable leaving them with him. And I would definitely rebook with Kevin.
Kevin is absolutely amazing! He communicated everyday- sent beautiful pictures, and loved my fur-babies as his own. House was just as I left it - 3 dogs can be a handful but he handled them with ease! He is so very patient and honest. Will definitely want him back- without a doubt.
Kevin kept us up to date with texts and pictures. Would definitely recommend him :)
