Veterinary Clinic Experience

Pet care experience

I love animals and grew up on the farm with many varieties. I was in 4H and FFA and won state championships in many categories involving animal husbandry. I have even cared for foxes! But being single and in the Army makes it challenging to ethically have one of your own. But that's not to say I cant "barrow" and help in the care and love for others. Not to mention spoil them! I will model your parenting approach to your pet. Your pet will be a member of our family while with us. What ever rules or privileges you have at your house will be reciprocated here. (on or off furniture, sleeping in the bed ect). Your pet will return the same or better than when you dropped them off. My mom was a veterinarian and I have worked in a few clinics over the years myself. I have experience in surgery, medications to include injections, post surgery care, behavior and more. I have worked with pets with spinal injurys, hip dysplasia, seniors, allergies and even blind dogs. My home is fenced in and we are next to a greenway for the best walk/runs. Iv boarded and fostered many over the years for friends before ever hearing about this app. Needless to say this app does not show my full experience or full history.

Kurt is absolutely fantastic with his service and how great he was with my dogs. I have a very calm lab and a very hyperactive 1 year old lab and made them both feel very comfortable in his house and was able to handle both of them very well. He is extremely knowledgeable and kind and both of my dogs were very happy when I picked them up. I could tell that they were very well taken care of and I will definitely use him again in the future.

This is my second time using Kurt and he was great! He always takes wonderful care of Nyx and makes sure all her needs are taken care of as if he was hers. She enjoys being there and will use him again in the future.

I've never felt more comfortable leaving my dog with someone. My dog is comfortable so I am too. 😊

Safety, trust & environment

We have a fenced in back yard in a very quit subdivision. We have safe walks with almost zero traffic but are also near a greenway. I am 1 minute away from a veterinarian and 8 minutes away from an emergency care clinic. Not that either will be needed. I know dog CPR (yes its different) and with a pin can even restart natural breathing with out a ventilator.

Information Kurt R. would like to know about your pet

Are they an escape artist. Any medications / allergies. Are they NOT spayed or castrated. What are your house rules. Any behavioral issues I should know.

A typical day

We reciprocate your home rules and privileges (being on the couch,bed,begging, food routine). We do what you do. This makes it easy for your pet and ensures no new habits but lots of love. We will take walks in our neighborhood with lots of palying,running and squirrel chasing in the back yard. If they are good in the truck I will even take them running with me to Sandhills or Saluda trails. If you would like to socialize them with other dogs I even have freinds that can bring their dogs for dogy play dates.
