Availability
As I’ve mentioned, during the summer I’m wide open to host your dog or visit your house just about 24/7. Just let me know how much time you’d want me to spend with your pet (so you can feel relaxed on your vacation!) and I’ll be there!

Safety, trust & environment
In addition to my large yard, I live across the street from Heritage Park and the Gateway Trail (that leads up into the Poverty Creek trail system) is adjacent to my house.. meaning I’m surrounded by trails to keep your energetic pal happy! Also, I have my 10 year old Gus, who’s relaxed and friendly, to play along with!
Home
Information Kurt G. would like to know about your pet
I just need to know your feeding schedule and walking schedule. And obviously if they need andy meds. Oh- and where they prefer to sleep at night!
A typical day
I have a nice yard for dogs to romp around and plenty of trails around to walk! And being older than the college kids in town perhaps means I’d be home with your pet more often ?

Local teacher on summer break!
Pet care experience
(Edit: obviously summer vacation is over but I decided I wanted to work with dogs all year long! Can you blame me?!) The only stressful part of going on vacation is finding a dependable person to take care your pets…. well, I’m here to be that person! I’m a local high school science teacher and have the entire summer off, and I’m looking for a fun hobby *and* a part-time job- and this opportunity checks both boxes! I’ve had dogs and cats all my long life!! My wonderful dog Gus recently passed away (but he lived a good 12 year life) so my only current pet is a sweet cat named Shortyhops (one of my sons wanted to name her Shorty, the other wanted to make her Hops, so I had to make a daddy decision!) I like to wake up early and I have plenty of time to walk your dog for as long as you want him or her to be walked!
Reviews
Kurt was excellent! He was very friendly, had great communication, sent lots of pictures and updates, and was very flexible with drop off/pick up times. Norman got lots of attention and cuddles. I will definitely be booking with Kurt again. 10/10 would definitely recommend!
Kurt was amazing and took great care of Duffy! He sent daily updates and was super responsive. He also accommodated to Duffy’s needs perfectly! Duffy came home absolutely exhausted and content! Would highly recommend Kurt!
Our lab Siggi had such a great stay! They went on plenty of adventures together and Kurt treated her like family while we were away. He sent lots of photos showing her having a good time. We will definitely have Siggi stay with him again!
Kurt is the best! He takes wonderful care of our dog Chester and sends regular updates and photos. He is very responsive and is always flexible with our scheduling. I highly recommend him!
