Availability

I work remotely, which gives me a very flexible schedule for walks, feedings, and attention throughout the day. I take regular breaks to walk or play with pets, and I enjoy starting mornings with walks or runs. Because I’m home most of the day, I’m able to provide frequent check-ins, outdoor time, and companionship. I can adjust my work schedule around pets’ routines so they stay comfortable, relaxed, and on their normal schedule. Weekends are also flexible, and I’m happy to do morning, midday, and evening visits or overnight stays when needed.

Safety, trust & environment

I treat every pet and home with the same respect and structure I follow for my own animals. I keep doors, gates, and crates secure, follow owner instructions closely, and maintain a calm environment so pets feel safe and relaxed. I learn each pet’s routine, comfort levels, and body language, and I adjust to what helps them feel at ease. I follow leash rules on walks, only use approved training tools, and never introduce treats, food, or toys without the owner’s permission. I give updates, photos, and communicate clearly so you always know your pet is safe, happy, and well-cared for in your home.

Reliable Dog Care & Daily Walks

Pet care experience

I love working with dogs of all sizes and energy levels, especially active and strong pups. My girlfriend has a 65-lb pit/chow/shar-pei mix who’s rowdy and mouthy, and I regularly walk, run, and help reinforce his training — including structured E-collar use and calm-lead handling. I’ve also dog-sat for both small and large breeds, including crate-trained dogs, and have experience managing pets during busy neighborhood walks and on hiking trails. Dogs feed off energy, so I stay calm, confident, and patient to help them feel secure — but also love matching high-energy dogs with play time, running, fetch, and mental stimulation. Whether your pup needs exercise, structure, or cuddles while I work remotely, I’ll make sure they feel safe and loved. I’ve also cared for cats for 20+ years and currently have two senior kitties. I’m comfortable giving oral medication, trimming nails, and helping nervous or older cats feel comfortable. My goal is simple: keep your pets happy, safe, and relaxed while you’re away.

Kyle was so great! Took awesome care of the pups and our house. Very communicative and provided pictures the whole time we were away. Would highly recommend!

Kyle is outgoing and wonderful person! He is an animal lover, and enjoys cats and dogs. He's extremely good with our dog, and our dog loves him too. It's fun to see how he interacts with animals, caring for them just as he would a family member. Being a pet caregiver would be something he and the animals would love!

Kyle is my go to choice! He's very attentive to our care instructions, our dog absolutely adores him and he always leaves the house spotless when he house sits. Our dog is super high energy and Kyle goes above and beyond and even runs with him so he comes back and is a happy, tired dog. Highly recommend 15/10.
