Highlights
Pet care experience
We love to care for animals!☺️🐶😺
My wife and I have taken care of many dogs throughout our lives as dogs bring us deep joy and satisfsction in life. Dogs I have taken care of are Yorkie, Chihuahuas, Westie, Shiba Inu mix, Labrador Retriever( hunting dog), Shih Tzus, Husky mix and more. My partner has taken care of a wide of variety dogs, cats, and other pets as well. Our love for dogs always want us to treat and care for them as best as possible. I currently have a Shih Tzu mix who I love like he is a family member and I hope I can bring that level of care to other dogs I have to care for. I have also taken care of senior dogs in the past. Taking care of people's dogs does not feel like a job to us, rather a joyful and fun experience for us both! I'm Pet First Aid/CPR certified through American Health Training. I understand the procedure on how to properly handle dogs from all sizes who are choking, poisoned, unresponsive, how to check vitals and perform CPR if necessary. The training gives me the best understanding and preparation on how to best handle a pet emergency. My wife is also knowledgeable of CPR/ Pet First Aid Care as I taught her what I learned from the course as we both find it really important to care not only for the pet's needs, but be best prepared for an pet emergency.

Ratings and reviews
Oatmeal has a nice time with Kyle. Kyle is very gentle with him and Oatmeal feels very safe.
Kyle was excellent with our senior dog, Oatmeal. He gave us regular updates with photos and our dog felt very comfortable in his home. We will definitely book with Kyle again in future.
Kyle is a very good sitter. Oatmeal is very comfortable in his home. We appreciate all of the photos and updates!!
Kyle and his partner were great with our dog for the overnight stay! They were attentive and responsive and it was a very easy stay, especially for a last minute booking.
Kyle and family were very nice. Oatmeal did a trial drop-in visit in preparation for an upcoming stay - Kyle was very accommodating with scheduling. Even though it was a short visit, Kyle provided updates, photos, and video. Oatmeal, who is very shy and cautious around new people, turned around and stepped back inside to say goodbye when we picked him up, which was a great sign that he felt comfortable in the home.
Kyle took such great care of our pup while we visited Safari West. He had playmates and everything. Thanks so much!

Schedule
Even with all the demands of life, we always give dogs under my care a lot of attention and have all their needs met! If I have to leave the house for whatever reason, my wife will give her attention to caring for the dogs as we love working as a team to care for our furry animals. If there are any dogs we care for that have separation anxiety issues, we can make sure to give that dog always has company!

Home characteristics
Safety, trust & environment
I live in a two story house with a small backyard that is fenced. I currently have a Shih Tzu mix who loves people and has gotten along well with other dogs in the same household. My dog is not one to try to make friends with other dogs as he does not like dogs coming up to him and in his space, but he can get along well with dogs of similar size or bigger dogs with time and has been in situations where he got along fine with mulitple dogs in a house. My house is spacious so there is plenty of room for the dogs to move about. We have multiple rooms and a dog gate where they can be comfortable if difficulties come up with getting along. I currently live with my wife and two parents as all three are dog lovers who are highly experienced with pet care, so in case I need to leave the house for errands or other needs, my wife can provide attention to the pet if need be as the pet can always have supervision. I will be home very often so I can take out the dog frequently and I live close to a park that's great for walking, and our neighborhood is very safe and plenty of places for walking. The dogs will always have access to fresh and clean water in the house. I will be very attentive to the pet's needs and be very sure they are well taken care of and comfortable under my care😊.

A typical day
I will give your dogs my full attention and make sure all their needs are met. I make sure with walks that the walk is engaging, and make sure they are safe from environmental factors, other dogs, and cars. I walk my dogs several times a day so they will have plenty of exercise and time to relieve themselves. My neighborhood has a very nice park with a dog park and the whole neighborhood itself is great for walks.
