Hi! I am Kurt! I will be able to provide your dog with the care and attention he deserves while staying with me. I live with my wife and our one dog loving son. Lifetime dog lovers, Candice and I were thrilled when it became increasingly apparent that our son inherited the very important canine-loving gene. Not having dogs of our own, my son is always more than happy to volunteer to dog sit our furry neighbors when their human counterparts go out of town. Having undergone advanced screening, I have been met in-person by a company rep, and my home has been inspected. I hope you'll reach out to me so we can meet! Why I love dog sitting A lifetime dog lover. I am excited for my son to be able to experience the unconditional love and companionship offered by canine pals. Boarding dogs has all the advantages of a dog (a companion that gives me a reason to stop staring at my screen) without the vet bills. No other pets live in my home. However, I do board multiple guests, so it's important for me to understand how comfortable each guest is sharing space with other dogs. About my yard I have a grassy fully fenced-in backyard, perfect for playing fetch and soaking up some sunshine. My son will be happy to have a new canine playmate join them for afternoon play sessions running around outside. My experience administering medication I have no problem administering medication as long as I am given specific instructions. I was raised on a farm and treated cattle, pigs, horses, and dogs with medicines as required and as an adult, I worked as an animal technician so I have experience administering medication in that setting as well. My wife has a degree in animal science and is even more comfortable applying medication. I work full-time from home as does my wife, so frequent breaks outside and plenty of attention is available for your dog. Occasionally I will have errands to run and may ask you to drop-off or pickup while my wife is home, but that's not common and will be communicated to you well in advance. Dogs are allowed unlimited time in my double-fenced back yard, but are not allowed upstairs in the house. At feeding times and other times when I need to isolate dogs, I will place dogs into kennels or pet fences (if I have multiple guests) to make sure nobody gets upset. I have tile floors that many hot dogs prefer to nap on, but also have space for dog beds for chilly dogs or those that prefer a fluffier space. At night I typically place dogs in kennels or pet fences as well to prevent conflict while I am asleep.
