Safety, trust & environment

I treat every home with respect and keep things clean and organized while you’re away. I’m very comfortable with big breeds, anxious pups, and dogs who need a little extra patience. I follow your routines closely and give your pets a calm, structured, and safe environment.

Information Kyle C. would like to know about your pet

Let me know if your dog has any routines, allergies, special needs, or quirks I should be aware of so I can give them the best care possible. I’m happy working with shy or anxious dogs, but I’m not able to take dogs with a history of aggression toward people or other pets.

A typical day

I love to stimulate your dogs physically and mentally. We’ll play games, explore all the new smells on our walks, and visit a big park near my house. I adjust activities based on your dog’s age, energy level, and personality.

Calm & Reliable Pet Sitter

Pet care experience

I’ve taken care of dogs my entire life, from big high-energy breeds to tiny puppies that needed extra attention. I’m calm, patient, and very comfortable with anxious or shy dogs. I’ve even helped with a newborn puppy delivery when the mom needed assistance. Friends, coworkers and family have trusted me for years to walk, feed, bathe, crate, and give their pets structure and comfort while they’re away. As an active-duty Navy instructor, I bring reliability, communication, and a clean, respectful approach to every home I stay in.

Kyle was fantastic with our Bella; she had plenty of walks and company while we were away. Kyle was an excellent house sitter as well and even swept up before he left. We felt comfortable and grateful to leave Bella and our home in his care.

Kyle was great! My shy girl, Chloe, took to him right away. She is a rescue and sometimes a little shy on first meetings and he immediately read her body language and adjusted and made her feel comfortable within minutes. He was patient with both of us and really cared about our needs and upfront with how he could best meet them. I was impressed and look forward to future bookings with him, and I KNOW Chloe will be happy to hang out with her new friend!

Kyle was very thorough and attentive during his stay with our pets! We appreciated the detailed daily updates and pictures, and were able to enjoy our time away without worrying about home. We would hire Kyle again in a heartbeat!

Kyle has watched my dogs multiple times and I have 4 of different breeds and sizes. He spoils them with love and playtime for multiple hours a day. He brings patience, flexibility, and pride in his care of pets. He is respectful, and experienced in multiple areas of care to include special medications, bathing, and puppy care. Kyle is a great option for pet care.
