Pet care experience

Hi, my name is Curtis and for those of you ive sat for before i am back from the military and pretty available again, Ok go I've been a pet owner for all 32 years of my life, i currently work as a behavioral therapist in the evergreen school district. I’ve worked in the vet field as a vet tech for 6 years and that is where I pull all of my knowledge, I have many friends still in the field and great contacts for vets that I can call on at anytime if needed. Currently I share my living space with my beautiful three, that's right I said three, miniature dachshunds; and siamese cat I love them dearly I've always loved pets and have always been connected with animals. I'm calm and collective when it comes to all species of pets, and enjoy long walks and dog parks. I'm open to all different styles of living and always keep an open mind. My friends tell me I'm easy going and very easy to jive with. Give me a buzz if you need a sitter for those days when you just need a break, or that last minute meeting at work, i'll be over in a heart beat to meet your furry, scaly, or wooly friends. there is a great dog park not too far from my location.

Curtis was wonderful with our dog Flash and cat Misti. Flash was taken to multiple play dates with Curtis’ dogs. He sent plenty of videos and photos. He left the house immaculate! Uncle Curtis will be around again...

Curtis was extremely accommodating in my hour of need. Mine was a last minute, emergency situation and Curtis was kind, reassuring and exceedingly helpful. I knew I could trust Curtis (and he could trust my pup) immediately after our meetup. As this was my first experience with Rover, Curtis explained everything I needed to know and put me at ease. I was able to leave my pup with someone I could trust and be present for my out of town event thanks to Curtis’ kindness and professionalism! His way with animals is truly impressive...and his dachsies are so cute! Curtis also sent me regular updates of my dog as they all got along swimmingly! Wonderful for my peace of mind. Thank you, Curtis, for being so great at what you do! Recommendation: do not hesitate to use Curtis’ services, you will be glad you did!

Luke had a great time with Curtis and his dachshunds! He was very flexible and accommodating. We’ll be sure to call on him again when we’re back in the Cleveland area.

The care of your fur child is my highest priority. I treat each pet as if they were my own, I become uncle Curtis. I follow routines and feeding set in place by you. I have experience with oral, IV and IM medications and send daily photo updates to qualm your mind and put you at ease while you’re away.

Information Curtis S. would like to know about your pet

If there are any special routines that you wish me to carry out, regardless of the nature I'm on it like white on rice. I tend to let dogs of all sizes lick me, and sit on my lap, if you have concerns with furniture rules or a strict no jumping policy let me know, I don't mind dropping to their level to say hello. I have been brutally mauled by a boxer pit mix when I was real young, but that doesn't effect my level of respect for all pets. I don't have any breed restrictions, and I will work with aggressive dogs, I've had experience in dog training as well as aggression handling.

A typical day

As your sitter, I would treat your companions as you would, as far as my dogs go, they are all on a very healthy diet, and eat the correct amount of food they require daily. I offer water 24/7 I don't feed them anything other than what they are required to eat. I love treats and so do my dogs, but that being said all of my dogs are healthy and perfect weights. The only time I separate myself from your companion is during breakfast, lunch and dinner. Depending on your preference for sleeping arrangements I love to snuggle up with dogs, can't do that so much with cats. I will respect your guidelines and never over step boundaries. I've never laid a hand on my companions for bad behavior so i'd never even think about laying a hand on yours. I'm extremely patient and understand sometimes accidents happen, or that some dogs are more rambunctious than others. You can trust your pets well being with me. Your piece of mind is my piece of mind. I offer complimentary nail trimmings and baths for stays longer than a week. I have my own professional trimmers as well as an assortment of hypoallergenic shampoos for those sensitive ones. I'm well equipped to handle any kind of pet who require special attention, ranging from medication to strict diet restrictions.
