Kurt can care for
Availability
I'm mostly finished with professional career life. I'm writing the great American novel instead now. I walk my dogs twice a day and go on hikes on weekends where they're allowed. Dogs are the secret to a peaceful mind.

About Kurt M.
Communication
Dog skills
Safety, trust & environment
Respectful of space and privacy, I'm here for your dogs because I have dogs. I'd want someone who cares about dogs to care for mine when I'm not there.
Information Kurt M. would like to know about your pet
I can care for big dogs and little dogs. If your dog has special needs, please alert me to their medications, habits, and preferences. If they are leash aggressive or escape artists, please let me know.
A typical day
Depending if it's a walk or play date I will take it at your dog's pace. Your dog has a favorite toy or favorite route? They'll show me, and I know how to keep them out of danger.

Strong and gentle dog loving human
Pet care experience
With a lifetime of experience living with dogs, I am confident around them. I own two medium large dogs that love their lifestyle. "Wow, he/she doesn't usually like men!" is something I've heard a lot from people when I meet their dog. It takes patience to learn a dog's communication style, but when they feel understood they do everything they can to express themselves. When they feel comfortable with my ability to successfully communicate they trust me. I've dog sat for friends, but this time in my life I can do more.
Cat care experience
Kurt also cares for cats. Learn about their cat-specific care experience.
Reviews
Kurt walked Henry and Hudson every day for 6 weeks and was amazing with them. They are farm dogs most of the year and not perfect on a leash. But within a day or two with Kurt they became model citizens ! They looked forward to their time with him every day. Kurt was 100% reliable and really a pleasure to see every day. 5 stars!
Kurt is an absolutely wonderful dog dad, and a fantastic babysitter! My pup had an absolute blast staying with him and his dogs. He's very patient, understanding, and affectionate with all the dogs he works with, and I'd trust him to watch my pup again in a heartbeat. My favorite thing about Kurt is he sometimes talks to dogs like they're grown adults haha.
I've known Kurt for 10 years now and there is no one else I would trust my dog to than him. Every time we go over to his place, our dog is so excited to spend time there. He is very attentive to the dogs' needs and make sure they are always safe. I learned so much about raising dogs from Kurt!
I have a 4 year old Doodle named Frankie. Frankie has a lot of anxiety and can not be left with a typical pet boarding place. My family had a vacation planned and Kurt was the perfect person to care for our sweet boy! He treated Frank like family and he had the best time ever. Kurt was professional, responsive, and made the whole process super easy! Thanks again Kurt will definitely use his services again!
