Dog dad with no dog of my own.

Pet care experience

I have experience caring for and training all types of dog breeds, including rescue dogs and otherwise special needs dogs. I grew up with animals and have had the pleasure of learning a bit of animal psychology and unique training methods in my life. My work and lifestyle doesn’t quite allow me to have a pet of my own which makes me so excited to be a part of this opportunity to care for other peoples fur Children!

Kirk was great! Super communicative. Has an outdoor patio area backed up to a community grass area. He sends lots of pics and my dog quite literally didn’t want to leave!!

Kirk was a friendly and attentive companion for our dog, and they hit it off right away. I got great updates each day, and my house was clean and neat when I returned. This was a perfect first encounter for us.

Kirk was wonderful with my heeler. He is responsive, kept me updated and seems natural with pets. I was at ease while away knowing my beloved dog was in his care.

I have a private patio and a large open community park area. Lots dogs are out and about in the grass to play with or if your dog likes to keep it low key, I have a zip line dog run setup so your dog can explore a bit (on a line) with me nearby. I am always in constant eye sight with your dog in or out of my house.

Information Kirk A. would like to know about your pet

Let me know if your dog has any special needs. Are they frightened of anything or triggered by noises or objects? I’d like to know about any aggressions as well.

A typical day

We go exploring around the neighborhoods and walk the green belt and canal paths. I’m also 1/2 block away from Chaparral Dog Park! If your dog likes puzzles I make feeding puzzles.

I work from home so I can have plenty of interaction time with your pets - playing, walking, feeding etc. I have a steady work schedule but take frequent brakes to allow myself this time. I can board dogs on any day with enough notice.
