Kurt K's Dog Care - Cupertino, California

lynn klein

If you want a day filled with fun and adventure for your dog, take him to Kurt's dog care. It makes me envious of my dog's day.
We have been taking our dog to Kurt for over 3 years. Our dog loves Kurt and the care he gets. There have been times that I need to pull my dog away at the end of the day, as he would prefer to stay with Kurt and the other dogs. Kurt has great control over the dogs and is a true dog whisperer. All the dogs love him, and in return he loves the dogs as his own.
Doing business with Kurt is easy . He's reliable,responsive, and honest.
You can't go wrong.

Kurt is the original dog whisperer! He is the perfect dog sitter if you want your dog to meet other dogs and socialize while going for long beautiful hikes. Going to Kurt’s is like going to summer camp for my dog Pepper. In fact, after our last visit to Kurt’s Pepper came back knowing how to swim ? He LOVES Kurt and always comes back happy, tired, and content. I have never had any problems scheduling. Kurt is extremely easy to talk too and flexible about scheduling. He is incredibly prompt in returning texts and our communication is always clear and without any problems.

Kurt truly cares about your dog and the dogs know. Pepper always loves to see Kurt and as soon as we pull up to his house, Pepper is out the door and wagging his tail and ready for Kurt to take him out on a fun adventure. Pepper never looks back nor wants one last pat - he just dashes into Kurt’s house and runs off to find his new four legged friends for the day!

Full disclaimer: I have never used this company, I was simply another person at Saratoga dog park today midday. While sitting there on my phone, my attention went to a group of dogs barking while waiting to get into the park. Then, to my shock, I see a man that’s with them (found out later he was the owner of this dog care company) put his foot on the neck of one of the dogs, the dog became so frightened and submissive. I don’t know how to describe this dog well except that he/she wanted to play fetch, it didn’t want to run around, all it wanted was the ball. The dog clung to this man in anticipation of the ball being thrown. It was a medium sized, light brown dog.

Once in the park, this man was obsessed with taking pictures of the dogs. During one of the photos, he was trying to get the dogs in line and to sit still, but they’re dogs, so of course they don’t sit still. He grabbed one dog by the collar and dragged him to put him in place (this was the same dog whose neck he put his foot on). There was another small black dog who also wasn’t staying in place so he grabbed him/her by the collar as well, lifted the dog to put it in place.

I have been upset and sitting on this for a few hours not sure if I should say something, especially since he has all 5 star reviews. But I have a dog of my own and would want to know if this was happening.

I’m not sure if his style of discipline and training is different, all pet parents discipline their pets, but this was too much. I don’t have a company myself, but I have sat and cared for other dogs, not once was I aggressive with them. The scary part is if he’s like this in public, what does he do privately.

Once again, I have not used his services, just informing the public of what I saw for other pet parents. Take with it what you will.

My dog has been regularly going to Kurt for more than a year. Never once have I found Kurt's services to be less than excellent. He is very professional, responsive, communicative, and most important, the dog comes back very happy and wants to keep going back to Kurt.
Bottomline - I would strongly recommend Kurt, for your four legged child.

We have been taking our dog Bean to Kurt for almost four years now. She LOVES Kurt and going to his house! When we are in the car and she recognizes his neighborhood and realizes she is going to see him she gets so excited and starts barking and wagging her tail enthusiastically. We love that he takes the dogs on long hikes and gives them plenty of time play and socialize with other dogs. And the photos he takes of their outings are amazing. Because we know that Kurt is taking such good care of Bean and that she is so happy, we enjoy our vacations and trips even more. Kurt also responds quickly to emails and texts when booking stays.

Kurt is amazing!! I’ve been bringing my westie, Ollie, to him for a few months and we could not have asked for a better doggy daycare. Every day Kurt takes the dogs to a dog park AND on a hiking trail so they get plenty of exercise and mental stimulation! I’ve noticed so much improvement in Ollie’s social skills and obedience. Kurt really is a dog whisperer as he’s able to get a stubborn westie to sit patiently for photos! Ollie loves going to Kurt’s and we’re so happy to have found him!

Kurt has been taking care of our dog, Stella, every Wednesday for 3 years. He's awesome! Stella loves going to Kurt's. She jumps out of our car and runs to his front door. A day with Kurt is filled with scenic walks, hanging out with other dogs and chasing balls at the park. Not to mention, we enjoy a mellow Stella at the end of the day. Kurt's taken care of Stella overnight too. We always know she's in good hands. He's reliable, conscientious and loves dogs. We highly recommend Kurt. He's the best.

My dog Hirschl has a far better social life than I do. He loves going to Kurt's when I work and comes home tired and content. Added bonus is all of the fun memoirs I got from his adventures. Worth every penny.
