Safety, trust & environment

I have 2 dogs and 2 cats at my house. The backyard is fenced in and I have it set up like a dog park. My dogs would love to play in the backyard with other pets. My 2 cats are inside cats and are scared of everything. They rarely come out when anyone new comes to the house. I could come to your place to walk, play and feed your dogs but I could also pick your pet up and bring them to my house for a play date in the backyard (once everyone feels comfortable, of course)

Information Curtis D. would like to know about your pet

If your pet has any special needs, please let me know. I've cared for senior dogs as well as some types of special needs pets. Im very patient and loving and will help in anyway I can to make your pet comfortable.

A typical day

I would love to take you dog/dogs out for a walk to get some exercise and some new smells in. We could even possibly go to Catus Island or Winding River park if you would like. Before I leave, I would make sure all treats and water bowls are filled (if that's part of your routine) and gives kisses and belly rubs to show them love.

Curt is an extremely capable caregiver for your pets. He absolutely loves all animals and has 2 dogs and 2 cats. He loves to take the dogs on walks and play with them in the yard. Having had dogs all his life he knows how to care for them and can handle all sorts of different pets. For Curt all animals are like family!

As long as I have known Curt he has had, and loved his dogs, as much as his friends and family. His commitment to those in his care( two legged and four) is his top priority. As an educator and coach his main focus is on inclusion and compassion. He shows as much care and compassion to his animals and others. Curt is a true animal lover, taking his four legged companion on adventures and socializing activities. I would have no reservations leaving my children or pets in his care.

I have known Curt and his wife for several years now. Curt is a dedicated pet dad to two dogs and two cats and loves and cares for them dearly. He even spends the summer traveling in his RV with all 4 of the pets! Pets are family to Curt. I myself have two dogs, one of them who is reactive and a little difficult to deal with. Curt has helped care for my difficult dog when I did not have others to count on due to the complexities that come with a reactive dog. Curt has experience with small delicate cats as well as big strong dogs, even the difficult ones. This makes him a well rounded pet sitter.
