Loving Family Ready to Dote
Pet care experience
We are a very caring and loving family in Noe Valley looking to supplement our Dog Love by hosting dogs at our 3 Bedroom house. We have a nice downstairs playroom that opens up to a backyard, which is secure and fully fenced. We are 3 Caregivers, lead by our primary care-giver, Kurt, who'll take the lead on any/all primary care. Second in command is Kate, who'll supplement hours during weekdays around the house, as needed, for bio-breaks, feeding, and, of course, snuggling. Then, our 3rd in Command is our 9 year old son, Owen, who, as you'll see from photos below, loves dogs and is growing into a top-drawer care-giver who's already very capable of helping with feedings, bio-breaks out back, and, of course, companionship, which he thrives on. He's very gentle and empathetic with dogs and quite mature for his age. Our house is well situated in that it's right across from the Upper Noe Rec Center's dog run, so daily visits for exercise and socialization are a snap for us. We also have ability to take well-behaved dogs with us to work, as Kurt owns his own business and has a dog friendly office right on Mission and 29th, so some weekday walks to the office are also welcome and a part of our flexible setup. which is a short walk from our house. We have many many years of dog experience. Kurt had an Irish setter that lived to be 17 and then, more recently, we had a beautiful french bulldog for almost 7 years. WE are easy-going, very dog loving family with a very dog friendly home. Not uptight and into the joy that dogs bring into the world and looking to tap into that from time to time. Ideally, we'd love to cultivate some regular guests and really get to know your dog over time. We have a lot of experience sitting bulldogs and aren't afraid to wipe jowls and other areas to allow them back on couch with us for some snuggling and TV time.
Reviews
Kurt and his family took great care of Dexter over a four day weekend. They took him to the dog park to play fetch, threw balls for him in the house, they played tug-of-war with his rope toy and gave him a lot of love and affection. Kurt also sent me many updates by text along with photos and videos, which made me feel at ease. I would highly recommend them to others and plan to hopefully use them again for another short stay with Dexter.
I couldn't recommend Kurt enough! He watched and boarded our dog, Franklin, numerous times over many years and we always received Franklin happier and healthier (somehow) than when we dropped him off. Kurt and his family are caring, attentive, and easy to communicate with- they understand each pet's unique requirements and treat them like a part of the family (while maintaining discipline and boundaries). If you're looking for a sitter that your dog will love and that you won't have to fret over, look no further.
Kurt is a dog-lover, through and through. He's patient, considerate, interactive and compassionate, and his family + home both offer a nurturing space for any lucky dog. He has a yard AND is across the street from a dog run - our pup was always SUPER happy to be in his hands, and somehow came home seeming cleaner and calm. Thank you, Kurt!
