Safety, trust & environment

I usually prefer to stay at the client's home so that I can be right there to care for their pets to the best of my ability.

Information Kirk W. would like to know about your pet

Please, let me know if your pet(s) has any special needs, if it is on any medications, or has a special diet. I'd also like to know the disposition of your pet (how well do they do around strangers, if they are high or low energy, if they have any training). This helps me to prepare adequately and make sure I'm caring for your pet in the best possible way I can.

A typical day

I'm a huge outdoors enthusiast, so if your pet enjoys the mountains, they can count on a hike. If not, they can count on a good neighborhood walk or a trip to the park.

Pet care experience

Cats and dogs love me and I love them! On top of that, I've taken care of a number of family friends' pets (dogs and cats mostly) while they were away for various lengths of time from days to weeks. That care included feeding, walking, bedding down for the night, housesitting, cleaning litter boxes, and so on.

Kirk shows up when he says he will and stays as long as he’s agreed. We always come home to a tidy house when Kirk’s here, and the very most important thing - our dogs are content.

Kirk made it look easy watching after 3 dogs in one home. He was professional and courteous and the dogs clearly loved having him around while we were out of town.

I can’t even begin to tell you how great Kirk is. Part of me doesn’t want to, because he’ll get busier than he is even now. The care he gave our pets was more than I could expect. They love him. If you’re like me, coming home is one of the best parts of any vacation. We came home to a cleaner home than we left. Not only did he change his own sheets and towels and launder them. He performed other tasks that needed to be done. We’re getting older, and some tasks are harder for us than before. Kirk took care of them.

Kirk is a rockstar! Our dog, Finn, can be tricky but he was super comfortable with Kirk and was so happy during his stay. He kept our dog and home well cared for. We’re so happy with this experience and looking forward to have Kirk come back again!

Each sitter joining Rover needs to pass a background check. And by booking on Rover, you can get photo & message updates, 24/7 support, and reimbursement for eligible vet care.
