Work From Home Sactuary

Pet care experience

Hi there! I am a Cincinnati realtor that works from home, runs an Airbnb and loves dogs. I have owned raised and trained 2 Labrador Retrievers and 2 Doberman Pinschers over the years who have past away. Ironically I do not currently have a dog living with me so that I can have freedom to travel without worrying about finding a sitter. But I miss having a furry ball of joy around the house. Before dogvacay/rover, I would dog sit for my mother, sister, and for a friend in the military when they were/are away. I live in the city, and can walk everywhere I normally go with a dog. Findlay Market, Washington Park Dog Park, multiple out door festivals, and one of my favorite dog friendly bars "Radio City" are all walking distance from my place, as is all of OTR. I dont have a fenced in yard, but I havent ever needed one. My neighbor allows visiting dogs to use his yard to play, and closest park is 2 blocks away! I I have met a lot of great dogs and owners on this site, and have a life full of dog caring experience. I have personally trained, bread, and shown dogs past the advanced level, and I have read and follow the techniques of Caesar Milan. I would love to meet your dog and give them the attention we all know they need while you are away! I am a realtor, I own the apartment building I live in, and I do airbnb in the other apartments and in my spare bedroom. So I work mostly from home. In my home I provide daily walks on my street and usually hang out with the dogs in my living room or bedroom. Sometimes we will go to Loveland to visit my mother who has a big yard but no dogs live there either. When I have to go somewhere that is not dog friendly, I typically leave the dog(s) in my bedroom. I own the apartment building I live in and I rent out the other 2 private apartments on airbnb, as well as the spare bedroom in my apartment. So most afternoons I am there cleaning. Other than that, I do pretty much all other work on my computer at home unless I have a showing or other appointment. Since I work from home, I'm there almost all day. Sometimes I will visit my mom in the suberbs and I always bring the dog(s) with me.

Dirk was great taking care of our dog. He sent pictures of walks and dinner time to keep us updated. He went out of his way to make sure she took her daily medicine even though she was being a pain about taking her pills. We really appreciate the care he gave!

The puppies miss you, but Florida is great! Dirk is still the best sitter we’ve had!

Information Dirk K. would like to know about your pet

Typically I like to know how many times a day the dog eats and walks and how much. Usually the owner knows if there is something they need to tell me.

A typical day

Most days I spend at home working with breaks to walk dogs. If the weather is nice, I might take the dog to a park or a dog friendly restaurant (usually outside).
