Active, Reliable Sitter!

Pet care experience

Hi, my name is Kevin and I can't wait to meet you and your dog! I'm an honest, fun-loving, athletic guy who will treat your 4-legged family member like one of my own. I offer house sitting, drop-in visits, and walking services, and my schedule is very open. Send me a message so we can get to know each other! I have a ton of experience caring for dogs. Dogs have been a part of my life since I was a child, and throughout the years I have gained experience caring for many different types of dogs, including those with special needs. My wife and I have a 3 year old Italian Greyhound named Lola and we adore her! I have always been the go-to dog-sitter for friends and family since I'm known for having a soft spot for animals (especially dogs!). I have experience with dogs ranging from puppies to senior dogs, as well as experience giving oral medications. My wife and I have dreams of starting a dog training, walking, boarding (aka dog hotel) business in the future, and we thought petsitting with Rover was a great place to start! I think you'll love me as a petsitter because I'm trustworthy, experienced, and easy going. We use Rover for our dog, so I know how hard it can be to leave your dog with a stranger! My promise to you is that I will treat your dog as one of my own, and send plenty of photo updates during our walks, runs, play time, or overnight stay. In my free time, I like to stay active. You can find me going for runs, working out, watching sports, and taking our dog Lola for long walks. When I'm not doing something active, an ideal way to pass the day is spending time with my wife and dog. I can offer house sitting, drop-in visits, and walking services. My goal is to pet sit as frequently as possible, so If you need consistent care I'd love to chat with you and see if we're a match. I can't wait to meet and hang with your dog!

Kevin has always been a fun and responsible guy to have our family's dogs with, He loves to cuddle them, play with them and exercises them too! Never had an issue in the past and would't expect one. Our dogs took to him right away - and I always trust their judgement of people :)

Kevin has watched my dog Baby for multiple times. He has stayed at my house with Baby (our yorkie) for multiple weekends or entire weeks when we were on vacation. Kevin is trustworthy and always left our house immaculate. Our dog had severe allergies and Kevin followed the protocol and any instructions that we left for him. When Kevin watches your dog...know that you will have peace of mind that your dog will be well cared for because he loves dogs and it shows.

Kevin is wonderful with dogs and would make an excellent dog sitter! He's a very active person with a very fun personality, and dogs love him! He has experience with all types of dogs (big, small and in between), and has even taken care of dogs with serious health issues. Kevin is patient and very trustworthy, and will be a great sitter for anybody that loves their dog like a child!

Information Kevin H. would like to know about your pet

I would like to know the following things before sitting/walking your dog: - Has he/she ever shown aggression towards other dogs or people? - What is his/her feeding schedule? - Bathroom schedule? - Is he/she crate trained? - Any dietary restrictions? - Level of exercise typically receives? - Does he/she have any other quirks I should be aware of? The goal is to keep the same schedule that he/she would have if you were home, so all information is good information!

A typical day

When sitting your dog, we will do a lot of exploring and he/she will get plenty of exercise! Does your dog like to run? So do I! I'm more than confident that I can accommodate most activity levels. If your dog is more laid back, we can go for more relaxed walks around the neighborhood, or just hang out indoors.
