Highlights
Pet care experience
Retired professional. Very flexible
Looking for unique experiences to fill my retirement years. Love both dogs and cats. Having grown up in a rural community, I've had animals most of my life, including farm animals. Good with all dogs, large and small. Enjoy cat antics! I can watch Pet Collective for hours. I'm very active and can easily walk multiple dogs. If house sitting is all you need, I'm available for short or extended periods as well. While in Orange County, travel to distant locations would be considered for longer stays. I'm an experienced home remodeler and would be able to take care of any minor emergencies while you're away such as reprogramming a sprinkler timer, sprinkler and irrigation system repair, fixing a faucet or leaky toilet, minor electrical repairs, etc. Very responsible and trustworthy. Graduate of both the Air Force Academy and Stanford. Retired Air Force. While I don't currently have any animals, all three of my children are dog owners.
Qualifications
Safety, trust & environment
Since I will be staying with your pet in your home, I will adapt to the routines that your pet has become accustomed to. I can send periodic text updates throughout the day or just leave you alone; whatever you prefer. I have no problem staying in a home with video cameras monitoring the interior.
Ratings and reviews
Kirk is extremely professional and was great with my dog. I am very grateful to have found him on Rover!
Very timely and professional. Bosco really enjoyed his time with Kirk.
Thank you so very much for taking care of our German Shepards, home and vegetable garden we really appreciate you!
Kirk was amazing with our dog Baxter. He stayed at our place and was very communicative about how Baxter was doing. He took Baxter out for all his favorite walks and made sure Baxter was feeling loved. He left our place spotless when he left and we could tell Baxter was happy. We will use Kirk again and again. He is great.
Our family grew up on a small " farm" and had a variety of animals; pigs, cows, horses, dogs, cats, and goats. Our parents instilled in us a love for animals and the responsibilities that went with being a pet owner. Although my brother was not involved that much with the larger animals, he did know how important it was to provide quality food, clean water and safe shelter for all of our 4-legged friends. Kirk is a very responsible and trustworthy person and I would have no qualms about leaving my animals in his care. He would need some guidance on exercising if horses are involved, but he is great with dogs. Not sure how he feels about cats.
Kirk would be a person you cold count on to take care of your pet. He grew up with several dogs and cats and had the responsibility along with his siblings to help care for them. He is reliable, confident, dependable and able to think on his feet.

My days usually include playing pickleball in the mornings, for which I'm gone for four hours. Other than that, I'm free and available within the CdM community.
