The ultimate dog uncle!

Pet care experience

I have been caring for pets almost my entire life. I thrive to treat all animals with care and respect…oh and lots of snuggles! When your pet is with me it’s treated like family.

Thank you for taking good care of Tag and figuring out his needs. It was reassuring to leave him with someone passionate about dogs. Will definitely use your service in the future.

Dirk brought Zen-like magic to his first encounter with Sadie, our miniature schnauzer. She is very skittish, easily scared, and doesn't warm up to people quickly. Dirk just sat on the floor, put his fingers down and waited. It didn't take long for her to be playing fetch with him. Unbelievable! He took her out twice on Saturday; Sadie greeted him with her "belly-up" readiness to be scratched. We found Dirk to be extremely personable, responsible, punctual, and, importantly, a true dog-lover. There is no doubt that our dog (or yours) will be very well taken care of by Dirk.

We always feel so at peace at peace leaving our sweet pup with Dirk. We know he’ll be well taken care of!

Dirk is such a great sitter. He truly loves your pet like his own. He’s my go to sitter going forward. Highly recommend.

Caring for your pets is officially my full time job! Thank you for all the continued business. We spend time playing in the yard, going for walks and learning new tricks. I basically work my routine around their needs.
