Pet care experience
Dogs have been a big part of my life since before I could walk, talk or tie my shoes. Throughout the years my pack has included a Samoyed, a Golden Retriever and a 95 pound mutt I called Gumbo, whom I got the summer before my senior year at Sewanee. He was my co-pilot for 10 years on adventures that took us from Tennessee to Texas and Montana, and when he died, I had his paw print tattooed on my right forearm. Currently, I have a nine year old Australian Cattle Dog, Gaucho, that I've had since he was about six months old. He is, without a doubt, the best dog I've ever had. The bottom line is that I love dogs and will care for yours with the same love I have for my own. My resume and references are available upon request.
Reviews
Kip has a deep connection with dogs like no other. He speaks their mental language, is warm, caring, protective and fun-loving with dogs. I would entrust all of my pups under Kip's care at any time. Enlisting Kip to walk your dogs and care for them during the day would be nothing short of a blessing to them - they will have a great time and learn from a true teacher all the while.
Kip S is one of the most kind hearted and caring individuals to be found. He treats his dog Gaucho as his best friend and most cherished companion. We are always in the presence of many pets when we are together and he is kind and caring to all. He has cared for my daughter’s pets and home in the family’s absence and has done a wonderful job. Kip is extremely honest and trustworthy. You can be confident that he would care for your pets in your absence without a worry.
Kip is our go-to pet sitter for our two dogs, outdoor cat, and fish. He is always so attentive and loving, taking special care of our older dog and ensuring he gets his meds. Kip communicates with us throughout and even sends us pictures! Which reminds me! He’s an amazing photographer and he offers pet portraits as an additional option while he takes care of your babies!
Well, Kip certainly is great with dogs, always have known him to care deeply for his and other folks dogs too! I have 3 mutts and a cat, Kip is always excited to visit with them when he stops by.
About Kip S.
Skills
Information Kip S. would like to know about your pet
I'd like to know a little about her temperament and if she plays well with others. Is a leash needed at all times? How does she handle riding in the car? More specifically, is motion sickness an issue? Are there any medications or food allergies I need to be aware of? What, if anything, is off limits in the house? Is she allowed on the couch, for example? My experience is diverse, so any and all breeds are welcome.
A typical day
We can play fetch, Frisbee or tug in your yard or at the park. If your pup is a trail hound we can go hiking. If the urban jungle is more to her liking we can cruise the sidewalks in town. During the warmer months we can go swimming.
