Pet care experience
Long Time Dog Owner and Caretaker
My passion for animals has been a instilled in me since my first work experience at a pet shop through high school. I have been a dog dad to three dogs and two cats of my own for over 16 years, and caretaking for family and friends for as long as i can remember. My professional life is in people management, and i understand the importance of being reliable, professional and going above and beyond for my clients.

Safety, trust & environment
I have always been active with my dogs. They were all in great shape and deeply loved.My oldest who passed away 3 years ago was 16. He was playing, taking long walks and energetic until his last week of life. I have NEVER taken a heavy hand with my pets, this is the absolute worst way to gain an animals trust and affection. I believe in learning your dogs personality and motivations to negotiate behavioral change, and training.
Ratings and reviews
Kirk stopped in to take Sadie for a walk and spend some time with her when we were gone for the day for Thanksgiving. He was prompt and sent photos... will definitely use him again. Thanks Kirk.

Dogs don’t lie! Kirk has been Maggie’s sitter for almost two years. My significant other and I have extremely busy work schedules that often require overnight stays away from home. In addition, our jobs provide four weeks a year of vacation which we tend to use in two week tranches. Without Kirk, we wouldn’t consider taking these vacations away from home leaving Maggie to languish at the kennels, especially for that length of time. Kirk has given us the comfort and freedom to do so without the worries and guilt of having our fur baby sit in a 5x8 pen. I can say a lot of good things about Kirk, but what is more important is what Maggie expresses about him. After nearly two years as her sitter, Kirk and Maggie have formed a bond that is far deeper than what is typical with an acquaintance or a family friend. Maggie gets frantically excited when she sees him walking up to the house and immediately rushes to the front door to great him, loudly whining in anticipation for him to come through the door. The greeting Kirk gets from Maggie is an outburst of pure and honest joy that is no less enthusiastic than the greetings she gives her own mom and dad. Their interaction is evidence that Kirk is good with her and he is good to her. It is by that measure that I know how truly blessed we are to have him as Maggie’s caretaker when we are away because… dogs don’t lie.
If you are looking to trust someone with your fur baby, look no further than Kirk. He is sincerely one of the must trustworthy and loving humans you will ever meet. I do not say this lightly, and I promise you will not have a single worry while you animal is with Kirk.
I have a 10 year old Yorkie mix who’s very particular and set in her ways. It has always been stressful to leave her anywhere when we travel or even for a long day out….. until we met Kirk. He’s an animal lover and our pup Alice recognized it immediately. She’s comfortable with him and that speaks volumes. He’s trustworthy and honest, takes excellent care of her and our home. I highly recommend Kirk!
Kirk is excellent with animals and has cared for mine through the years. He currently dog sits and walks a number of neighbors' dogs on a regular basis.
