Highlights
Pet care experience
Local teacher on summer break!
(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!
Qualifications
Ratings and reviews
Sam was so happy staying with Kurt. I loved seeing the photo updates of the adventures that Kurt took him on each day. It makes going on a trip so much more enjoyable knowing that Sam was having a fun vacation of his own.
Great experience and our dog Jack loved it.
We try to book with Kurt when we can. I can tell my pup loves him and Kurt definitely loves dogs as his own. The recent time I dropped my pup off, he ran right on in with Kurt not even looking back to say goodbye to me, lol! They get in tons of walks and Kurt handles my leash reactive dog well. He is also the best at sending loads of pictures and I love seeing my dog make new friends there too.
Kurt took great care of our cats & was very good at communicating with us. Highly recommended!
The reviews didn't lie, he truly is the best. He kept us updated throughout their stay with photos and messages, which gave us so much peace of mind. Our dogs had an absolute blast and came home happy and well cared for. We couldn't have asked for a better boarding experience. Highly recommend!
Thank you Kurt...worked out perfectly for us!

Schedule
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!

Home characteristics
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!
Pets
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 ?
