Safety, trust & environment

SAFETY: - In 3 yrs on Rover I have never had an incident (Losing a dog, dog harmed or harmed others, needed to go to a vet, etc.) - I always keep doors locked and use the garage for exit on walks to avoid escapes - If I do have a dog overlap one day (one dog leaving while another one arriving) then I will keep dogs 100% separated for their safety, even if dog-friendly (Better safe than sorry)

Information Kyle D. would like to know about your pet

Please let me know any behavioral or health things I should be aware of such as stressors, aggressions, habits, medications, special diet, etc. I cannot accept dogs that have a high degree of separation anxiety. Most of the time your dog will be with or near us. But with a toddler there are some times where they may need to be not in the same room. Specific areas of concern are: - Barking to be in the same room as you if separated - Break barriers, chew/scratch doors and walls etc. to reach you if in the same house and separated OR if left home alone

A typical day

Wake up 7am and go for a walk in neighborhood. I start work at 8 from home and dog will be able to stay with me in the office all day or roam the house and play with toys, whatever they prefer Outside for some play time around noon Another walk around 5 One more walk or go outside in backyard before bed around 9:30

Pet care experience

I come from a dog obsessed family that volunteers at animal shelters, fosters dogs, and rescues too. I’ve had 15+ inside dogs in my life so I’ve got plenty of experience caring for them. I’m just a young professional with a family that does not have a dog of our own at the moment and would love to take care of yours! 0 dogs have complained about me so far so I’d say I’m doing pretty good. Looking forward to making your little best friend into mine too!

Kyle was great with our dog, Governor, even taking him for walks in single-digit temperatures. Governor has very smelly ears because he's waiting to see a specialist for treatment of persistent ear infections that our vet's prescriptions can no longer do any good for. Before booking, I asked Kyle if this would bother hm and he said he'd be fine with it, which we appreciated.

The first time my doggo met Kyle, he didn’t want to leave. The stay was great and Kyle did a amazing job taking care of Luke. Communication was efficient and timely. I would definitely book the stay again.

Kyle and his family take wonderful care of our dog London. This is the third or fourth time she has stayed with Kyle. We know she is well cared for and loved.
