Kevin and I both work full-time remote from home. We chose pet hosting as a shared passion project—it's important to both of us. We have the flexibility to be present throughout the day, which means your dog gets consistent attention from two people with different strengths: Kevin excels at play and engagement; I handle structured walks, training cues, and downtime reassurance. Our own dog, Bom, is part of our household, and visiting dogs are too. We're not a facility—we're a home where your dog becomes part of what we actually do.

Safety, trust & environment

When your dog arrives, we greet you together on the porch or driveway. We want to know your dog and you. Once you leave, we take them on a walk around the property for orientation and to settle. We show them the water bowl and toy basket, and if they've brought their own bed or blanket, we give them their own space for meals and rest. Throughout the day, Kevin and I both watch for cues. If your dog needs outside, we go. Hourly, or more. We split meal prep and medications—nothing is missed, nothing is guessed on. Kevin and I work as a team; he's as hands-on with playtime, training, and logistics as I am.

Pet care experience

Kevin and I both work full-time remote and we chose pet hosting as a shared passion. We're here because we genuinely care about the dogs we bring into our home. We're a real team. Kevin's strength is play and engagement; he'll scratch behind ears for hours and keep your dog active. I handle structured walks, training cues, and the quiet reassurance a nervous dog needs at the end of the day. We split meal prep and medical care—if your dog needs medication, we're both tracking it. Two sets of eyes mean nothing gets missed. I've worked with dogs since I was 10. Kevin grew up with dogs. We've cared for dogs of every size, age, and temperament—energetic puppies, senior dogs who need patience, dogs with behavioral complexity. We know what works because we've done this for a long time and we're still doing it because we love it. When your dog is with us, you can trust that we're both present, both accountable, and both committed to their safety and wellbeing.

They were amazing! They took such good care of my 16 year old dog and were so flexible. Thank you! Would definitely use again when I am in the area.

Whitney and Kevin took such wonderful care of our pup, Coquí, while we spent the day exploring Cooperstown. From the moment we dropped her off, we knew she was in good hands. They kept us updated throughout the day with messages and photos, which gave us so much peace of mind and allowed us to fully enjoy our time away. What meant the most to us was knowing that Coquí had companionship, attention, and affection instead of being left alone at our Airbnb. She is a very social, loving dog, and it was clear that Whitney and Kevin treated her like one of their own. When we picked her up, she was happy, relaxed, and clearly well cared for. We are incredibly grateful for their kindness and the excellent care they provided. We would wholeheartedly recommend them to anyone looking for reliable, compassionate, and loving pet sitters. We wouldn’t hesitate to trust them with Coquí again.

Whitney was great with my Luna. She sent me pictures and responded immediately when I messaged her. I would surely book her again for my girl !!

Spritz is always excited when we arrive at Kevin and Whitney's. We receive pictures of him during his visit. Kevin and Whitney are very pleasant and Spritz enjoys having a play date. Highly recommend Kevin and Whitney.
