Your dog's home away from home.
Pet care experience
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.
Reviews
Kyle was great.. a real dog lover. Will absolutely use him again!
Great pet sitter, our dog warmed up really fast with Kyle! Thank you Kyle!
Unfortunately, I had a really bad experience with Kyle. When we picked up my dog, we noticed she had active wounds / severe chafing under both of her front legs, from her harness being left on for too long. I am very disappointed, especially because I specifically instructed Kyle to not leave the harness on for too long. However, apparently it was his wife (who I never met) who actually took care of my dog. Now we have to administer anntibiotic creams and hope that our dog will recuperate quickly. Very, very disappointing that my dog was left with active wounds under her armpits. I will not be using this sitter again.
Lily is not an easy going dog. Kyle was great with her!

Information Kyle J. would like to know about your pet
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.
A typical day
Here's where we'll take our walks Walks will be taken around our property and trails in the woods. Your dog's sleeping arrangement We have had dogs sleep on the couch, floor and in crates. It's been our experience that some dogs prefer to sleep in the crate (denning) but leave the crate door open. It all depends on the dog. Time I'll spend with your dog The dogs will be exercised outside several times a day, barring no weather issues. The dogs will have the run of several rooms in the house.
