A friendly puppy parent and pal!

Pet care experience

I have been an avid dog owner since I was a child, but really became interested in training and sitting for dogs in the past 5 years. I have 4 dogs at home in Grand Rapids, MI, but I'm out here to be an actor on the broadway. I take pride in being your dog's favorite sitter. I will be as excited to see them as they will be to see me! Last year we lost our Maggie to cancer. She was a golden retriever and we had only had her for about a year. She was 14 when we adopted her, but her death hit me hard. One of my dogs, Lena, has her own Instagram account because she's the most photogenic. She had just revocered from severe mange when we adopted her, and her fur was just starting to grow back. Her handle is "plumpypup" so go ahead and follow her. My wife, in-laws, and I are avid puppy rescuers and to date we have rescued 4 dogs from less than ideal homes. Including "aggressive" breeds (we have a pitbull at home named Cannoli).

Kyle was terrific watching Jake. He sent photos and videos to make sure I was comfortable that Jake was in good hands. Jake seemed happy and tired when I got home. Which is always a good sign.

Kyle has dog sat for me every time I travel for work. I have 2 Frenchies; An old weathered soul names Griswold, and an energetic young dummy(God bless his heart) Odie. I'm worried that they may actually like Kyle more than me now because whenever they see him, their reaction is like two kids on Christmas morning. Kyle is a great dog walker, and all-around a good guy too. You can't go wrong with having him watch your pups.

Kyle was amazing with our 2 pups. Chewie (I'm a big Star Wars fan) and Scarface (he's all black with one white line over his eye that makes him look like Tony Montana) absolutely loved him!!! They are great judges of character and he was so nice and playful with them! Great guy. I highly recommend him!! ??

Kyle is great! I needed a pet sitter at the last minute and Kyle came to my rescue! He's such a friendly person, my dog loved him immediately and I have complete trust in him. I hope to use Kyle every time and would recommend him time and time again!

Information Kyle J. would like to know about your pet

I want to know if there is anything that makes them aggressive and things/activities to avoid. I want to know if they have any allergies, what your stance is on people food and any bad habits or behavior problems you would like me to try to correct (I won't make any promises, but I am excellent at positive reinforcement). I want to know if they're afraid of thunderstorms so I can be home to comfort them if that happens and if there are any hiding places or "safe" zones they prefer.

A typical day

I love to play fetch if there is room and we're able to do so safely. I love belly rubs and finding dogs favorite place to be scratched. I do embarrassing voices and talk to dogs like they're people.
