Safety, trust & environment

I cannot do in my home care as I'm not situated to provide that service. I am well situated to stay in the animals known home. I take whatever instructions given by the home/animal owners and provide services as requested.

Information Kyle H. would like to know about your pet

I have reservations with animals with aggressive behavior ONLY if I'd be required to walk them. If the dog is non aggressive with me, all is well, but I will not jeopardize safety of other people or animals if there is aggression known.

A typical day

I will walk your dogs, play with them as much as they/I can handle. I enjoy romping with the dogs and will provide whatever is requested by the owners.

Pet care experience

I have been house/dog sitting for most of my adult life, usually for friends of the family who know my reliability, trustworthiness, and absolute love for animals (dogs being at the top of the list). My first job ever was at an animal hospital here in Greensboro where I moved from kennel assistant to assisting the veterinarian in exam rooms, to being a key holder on weekends with no supervision (this required medication distribution). I have a wide open schedule, I will not bring other people along, and I have references available. I am unable to have my own dog at this time due to living situation so your dogs will be my adopted pets! I am available to communicate via texts, email, and phone calls.

This was the third time I used Kyle to watch my dogs and I had left previous 5 star reviews. While i was gone this time: 1. I had 7 FULL bottles of liquor in the pantry and 2 cases of beer in the fridge - all gone in 13 days, one empty huge bottle of Aviator Gin was left under the bed he slept in. Both garbages outside were overfilled with bottles and beer cans. Was there a party or just some severe alcoholism, I'll never know.. 2. He put out his cigarette butts on the front porch rug (THERE WERE OVER 25 LITTLE HOLES IN THE RUG ALL AROUND THE ROCKING CHAIR - MEANING WHOEVER WAS SMOKING OUT THERE WOULD JUST LEAN OVER AND PUT OUT THIER CIGARETTE ON THE RUG FROM WHERE THEY WERE SITTING, LEAVING A HOLE IN THE RUG AND LEAVING BURN MARKS ON THE PAINTED WOOD PORCH UNDERNEATH, how drunk do you have to be to not realize this is inappropriate behavior? I guess 7 bottles and 2 cases of beer drunk) and he also burned the little table out there. I had to throw both away. 3. When i would text him for updates on the dogs, he would send me the same pictures he had already sent me from when he watched the dogs in April - I thought it was wierd, but when I got home, I realized that one of the dogs has a GIANT cut on the bottom of his chin that needed medical attention (had to get it stitched up and it was infected) that nobody bothered to tell me about, so now I get why I wasn't sent any current pics. So he kept the dogs alive, stayed out of my bedroom & office and sort of didnt burn down the house (which i jokingly told him was all that was required), So technically he did his job , but I would not invite him back.

My dog was very well cared for by Kyle. My house was cleaner than I left it (my bad for not doing a better job prior to my departure).

Kyle was great, took good care of our dogs and the house, and took a lot of stress off us for our first vacation in awhile. Would hire again.
