Your dog's home away from home.

Hi! We are a family of five living on 3 plus secluded acres, surrounded by woods and farmland. We foster dogs and puppies frequently for a local dog rescue. I am a semi retired, stay at home Dad. This allows me to spend a lot of time with our family pets and visiting dogs. Our school age children are very "hands on" and enjoy interacting with the dogs. I train our personal dogs in a German dog sport called Schutzhund. I also provide private dog training lessons. Our experience fostering dogs has given us a vast insight into canine behavior and of various breeds, large and small. Your dog will receive the attention they deserve in a caring family environment. About this sitter: I am a semi retired, father of three, stay at home Dad. Retired detective, dog trainer and coach. We foster dogs for a local rescue. Why I love dog sitting Growing up as a child, we had a mixed breed dog that lived to be 17 years old. Once settled into adulthood, I chose a Cane Corso (Hunter), a rare breed dog, as a companion. With Hunter, I began my journey into Schutzhund training. Schutzhund is a German dog sport encompassing three phases: tracking, obedience and protection. Since obtaining Hunter, we have owned several Working German Shepherd dogs. Meet my pets Large home that is decorated with children and pets in mind. We have German Shepherds that are trained as working dogs. About my yard We have several fenced in pens. Our three acres are fenced on two sides and woods on the other.

Upon arrival to drop off my dog, it was apparent from the get-go t that Kyle knows his stuff. I have a young dog that can be quite a challenge. Kyle put my mind at ease and provided regular updates with photos. He has acreage that provides opportunities for my high energy dog. I strongly recommend him.

Kyle is one of the best there is! He will treat your dog like his own. He also has a huge property with lots of running room and a pool!

We have used Kyle before and had great stays. This past stay left us upset. Our dog had been ill during his stay with noticeable symptoms (diarrhea/vomiting for 10 days and drastic weight loss), Kyle did let us know around day 3 he wasn’t really eating much but said he wasn’t concerned. We tried to contact Kyle to check on him half way through the stay and we didn’t hear back for almost 5 days. When we picked our dog up he was very sick. The illness may not have been caused by his stay but the way it was handled was not OK. He should have received medical care asap or we should have at least been notified of the severity so we could’ve decided how to proceed. 20lbs weight loss and $3k in vet bills later he is still unwell :(

We would like to know if the dog has any aggressive tendencies towards humans or animals. This is not a deal breaker but something to help us prepare for the dogs arrival. We would also like to know if the dog has any medical issues or medicinal maintenance requirements.
