About Kurt L.

Dog skills
Safety, trust & environment
For my home: I live in an apartment on the third floor (accessible via stairs or elevator). It is very pet friendly: large living room, open spaces, tidy, and clean. There is a lot of open space, so there is plenty of room for beds, crates, and/or toys.
Home
Information Kurt L. would like to know about your pet
I am more than open to hearing about any and all of your pets' unique needs since every pet is different. It would be helpful for me to know their behavior on walks (i.e., reaction to small/big dogs, people, etc.), any triggers (e.g., the T or large crowds), and anything health related (e.g., food, medication, general energy level).
A typical day
As for walks: there are several beautiful parks, ponds, and neighborhoods in the Brighton/Chestnut Hill area. For example, we could walk along the Chestnut Hill Reservoir or the Jean B. Waldstein Playground, since both are very dog friendly (e.g., open spaces & water stations). If your dog would want somewhere less energy and quieter, there are plenty of streets in the neighborhood that are great! At home: Would love to learn and play with your pets favorite toy, and just spend quality time. Regardless of how your pet enjoys their time, I will always be keeping an eye on your pet to be sure they are getting what they need.

PhD student who loves dogs & cats
Pet care experience
-Hello! Thanks for taking the time to read my profile. As a quick introduction, I am a PhD graduate student in the Brighton area who absolutely loves going on walks and spending time in nature (personal favorites- Newton Resevoir & JP Pond). I would describe myself as very detail-oriented and a perfectionist (hence grad school), which I've learned is very helpful with animals since it helps me be attuned to their communication. -In terms of experience: all throughout growing up, my family and I always had dogs always in the household (e.g., shitzu, dalmatian, and beagle). Ever since I was 6, I walked, fed, and cleaned after all of them. This had made me very comfortable in always reading cues indicating a need. -More recently, I potty trained a beagle my family sheltered (several summers ago). Whenever I visit home or family, I am always playing/walking/watching dogs (of all sizes) of my family members. I also love cats and have exposure through friends, although I have no formal training with them. -In terms of my schedule: very open and flexible since I manage my own schedule. happy to do sitting/walking any time or day for the next couple months. -Please feel free to message me, and I will try to respond ASAP!
