I have always loved animals since I was a child. I grew up with a yellow lab and a chocolate lab. I have worked with everything from chihuahuas and toy poodles to German Shepherds and Great Danes. I've also cared for cats, birds, fish, snakes, and know how to properly maintain freshwater aquariums. I am available to take care of your pets while you go out and can provide regular status updates as requested. I will clean up after your pets, feed them, walk them, play with them, etc. as needed. I can administer medications and work with animals that have different needs. I'm willing to transport your pets as needed to the dog park or the vet. I can do daily visits while you work, vacations, and overnights. I cannot board animals. I know how to train puppies basic commands such as sit, stay, heel, come, etc. I can also handle larger dogs on walks and safely handle issues of moderate aggression. Prices may vary depending on scope of work and distance.

We hired Kevin to take care of our pets (2 dogs, a cat, and a bird) while we were out of town for a week. He came over at least three times a day for the essentials (let the dogs out, feed everyone, etc.) and to handle incidentals (clean up any accidents from the old dog, bring in the mail, etc.), which is all we asked of him. But he also went well beyond what we required and stuck around for a couple of hours each day to spend time with the animals. As anyone with pets knows, they get pretty antsy if they spend a week alone, but when we got back they were calm and comfortable after Kevin's care. He even made friends with our grumpy little Conure! We recommend him without reservation and we'll definitely hire him again the next time we need pet care!
