An Aspiring Dog Trainer

Pet care experience

For the past 5 years, I’ve taken care of a plethora of dogs ranging from Doberman pinchers and pit bulls to chihauhau’s. I love training dogs as well. I aspire to be a dog trainer in the future.

I recently had the pleasure of having Kirk care for my dog, who has special needs, and I couldn't be more satisfied with the experience. My dog requires daily medication and is blind, which makes getting around more challenging for him. Kirk was incredibly attentive and compassionate, ensuring my dog received his medication on time and providing the extra care and patience needed. What truly set Kirk apart were the daily updates and pictures I received. These updates were a great source of comfort and made me feel at ease, knowing my pet was in such capable and loving hands. The photos showed my dog looking happy and well-cared-for, which meant the world to me. I highly recommend Kirk to anyone in need of a responsible, caring, and communicative pet sitter. It's clear that he genuinely cares about the animals he looks after and goes above and beyond to ensure their well-being. Without hesitation I will be using Kirk as my sitter in the future.

Kirk was amazing with watching my Pomeranians. He took his time to make sure they were settling in with ease when my best friend and I went out of town. He was so kind to send us daily updates with how they were doing. The dogs were having a blast with him and his dog Tre! I will definitely be booking Kirk again and would recommend him to anyone looking for a great and kind sitter!

I booked Kirk for 5 days for 2 walks per day. Kirk was amazing! Did really well with both dogs that most people are intimidated by because of their breed and energy. Kirk gave daily’s updates and pictures so I was assured that my doggie were being taken care of. He even filled their water bowl when they ran out. Highly HIGHLY recommend his services especially for dog owners with high energy or “intimidating” breeds.

My vacation travel went well because we are not worried about our two dogs being away from us. Kirks updated us on what is happening on our dog. My little dog was his first time on rover and we were worried because he doesn't like stranger. Kirk really knows how to handle any dogs. My little one likes him right away without any doubt. I highly recommend Kirk. We will definitely use his service again
