My partner and I work from home, and have a lot of flexibility in our schedule. We currently have a 10lb Chihuahua, who was left on our doorstep with umbilical cord still attached! At 2 years old now, he's a pretty easy going guy, and likes to be part of a pack from time to time. He usually gets 2 walks a day around the neighborhood. Or, we will do a nice long walk or hike, if time allows. We feed twice a day and provide treats for being a good dog, of course. I love to take work breaks to play tug of war or fetch. Belly rubs are available every night for all four legged residents of the house who want them! Any furry guests would fit seemlessly into our routine.

Information Kyle & Dale M. would like to know about your pet

The best match for my home is a small to medium sized dog. My dog is little, and he can get overwhelmed by a larger, energetic dog. A gentle giant, though, could be considered. We're okay with giving meds, eye drops, and possibly injections, as long as your dog is very used to receiving them. If your dog needs lots of special attention or care, we might request a bit more compensation.

A typical day

We go for two walks daily around our South Capital neighborhood. We go by our neighborhood park, where there are lots of good smells. We take breaks to play tug of war and fetch, but there's generally a lot of time for napping. When weather and time allow, we like to take long walks down the river trail, or go up to the mountains. There's a small dog park in our neighborhood, where we can do some off leash time. We can go to the Frank Ortiz dog park, too, but we've had some bad experiences there.

Pet care experience

Caring for animals comes naturally, and nothing makes me happier than making them feel safe, loved, and at ease. Animals have always been part of my life, as I grew up on a farm surrounded by dogs, cats and more! I've raised puppies from 3 days old, having to bottle feed and potty train...all the way up to seniors, managing meds and declining capabilities. I volunteered at a shelter in Mexico for a year. Through that experience, I was exposed to a lot of medical and behavioral situations, which taught me a lot. My partner and I both work from home, which means your pup will never be lonely. We know how to make dogs feel comfortable, and aim to have them feel like they've taken a little vacation, too! I know leaving your pets can be stressful. I send lots of updates and pictures, so you can feel relaxed and assured your pup is happy and healthy.

Had a fantastic experience leaving my pooch with Kyle and Dale for the night. They were so responsive, kind and thoughtful. I would absolutely book a stay for him with them again! Highly recommend.

Kyle and Dale were wonderful with Roux during her overnight stay. They made her feel right at home, kept me updated, and I could tell she was happy and relaxed when I picked her up. It gave me peace of mind knowing she was in such good hands, and I’d definitely trust them to watch her again.

If ever there was an award for best pet owner and pet care-giver, Kyle is the person. She not only loves all animals unconditionally, she takes meticulously care of them. I trust Kyle not only with my pets but with my own life, too, if it comes to that. Trust-worthy, kind, and a wonderful person.
