Animal Lover Helping Animal Parents

Pet care experience

I'm a large person that loves large dogs, but after being introduced to smaller breeds I learned that they have big hearts and can be just as great. My wife and I are in the middle of our own fitness journey and would be more than happy to have some canine friends join me while I stay fit. If the owner has specific requests, I am more than accommodating. I work during the night but will be available any day to take your fur babies out and help them get out there energy through taking them on runs or leash-on dog parks. I am working with a certified dog trainer to get more experience to provide better service for your animals. We currently have three cats and a dog.

We have many pets and Kurtis took care of them all wonderfully. Good communication and was willing to go above and beyond for our furry family. I would definitely book Kurtis again.

Kurtis is a reliable, hard-working person. I can always count on him to show up and follow the instructions I leave for him. My dogs adore him! Even my dog who is afraid of tall bearded men loves Kurtis, who happens to be a tall bearded man. I highly recommend hiring Kurtis to care for your dogs. He will handle them responsibly and with great care.

Kurtis would be an excellent dog caregiver, because he is very patient and adaptable when it comes to various situations and animal personalities. He also stays calm under pressure which I think would be a beneficial trait in caring for a broad spectrum of breeds, personalities, and any special needs.

Safety, trust & environment

Understanding how to handle reactive or energetic animals is a big part of what I bring to the table. In addition, as a lifelong cat owner, I also know for a fact that cats need a clean litter box to be happy and am more than happy to clean up after any and all of the pets.

Information Kurtis M. would like to know about your pet

I’ve handled animals at all stages of their lives and through many different ailments, many my own personal best friends. Let me know if you best friend needs to be medicated, has any triggers, or if they need extra attention for any reason.

A typical day

Iroh and I love the Chuck-It and also throwing the frisbee. Walks are great because it gets out their energy, introduces them to new smells and places and also because I can enjoy the fresh air and both of us will be happier after the exercise.

Depending on my bookings, I sleep in the morning or afternoon and am fairly flexible with prior planning. Right now, I love to spend those waking hours throwing the frisbee or walking with my buddy, Iroh.
