Highlights
Pet care experience
Friendly experienced animal lover ❤
Animals have been a cherished part of my life since childhood, when I had the joy of growing up with 2 dogs. The pure happiness animals bring to me remains truly unmatched by anything else in life. I have been professionally pet sitting for 2 years and I have had the experience to care for many breeds and ages. From energetic husky pups to a blind senior lab that required medication and more specific care. I absolutely love animals and miss being around them when I'm not caring for them or walking them.
Qualifications
Safety, trust & environment
I treat every animal as it was my own. I have a deep love for animals and treat them with affection. I understand each animal has different levels of learning, communication, and trust and I take the time to learn about every animal I take care of. I love building relationships with pets and animals.
Ratings and reviews
Thanks Kirk and Grace! Sammy loves his walks with you. He was all smiles when I got home! 😀
Kirk is amazing with my boy and has excellent communication! Always sends pics and my dog comes home extremely happy and tired
Everything is going really well with Sammy’s walks with Kirk and Grace! Sammy is so excited to see them and can’t wait to get going on his walk. Sammy is sometimes reactive on walks and I like the way Kirk reports any incidents of Sammy’s barking along the way. It sounds like Kirk is handling Sammy’s outbursts really well. We are very happy with the walks and hope we can continue with Kirk and Grace!
Highly recommend!
Kirk took wonderful care of our two dogs and cat and our home while we were away for a week. From the meet & greet through drop-off, he was easy to coordinate with and flexible when our meet & greet schedule shifted at the last minute. While we were gone he sent regular updates and photos, and the pets were clearly comfortable and happy with him, cuddling up and resting on his lap by the first day. He went well beyond the basics: keeping up with watering our garden daily during a hot stretch, doing laundry (sheets and towels) and remaking the bed before we got home. When something unexpected came up (a mix-up while looking for a broom that accidentally knocked something over), he let us know right away rather than leaving us to discover it — I really appreciated the honesty and communication. He made sure the dogs got a good walk before heading out, left the house tidier than we left it for him, and handled timing of arrival and departure (and the key drop-off) exactly as we'd requested. We came home to a happy house and happy pets. I highly recommend Kirk for anyone looking for a trustworthy, communicative, and genuinely caring sitter.
Excellent communication, sends us the best photos of Murphy and Murphy always comes back so happy! Kirk is awesome, I'm a repeat customer and very satisfied
