Information Kyle S. would like to know about your pet
Meet-and-greet required. I don't accept first-time bookings without meeting in person first. This protects both your dog and any current guests, and it's non-negotiable, even for last-minute requests. Solo-dog household. I don't have a dog of my own, and I generally keep bookings to one dog (or dogs from the same household) at a time. If your dog is reactive, anxious, or just prefers not to share space, this is built for that. It also means I'm not always available on short notice since I don't stack multiple clients. Send me the real details. Medications, triggers, feeding quirks, fence-jumping history, whatever it is, I'd rather know upfront than find out mid-stay. Nothing surprises me and nothing gets judged. Emergency plan in place. Vet is under 10 minutes away, and I'm pet first-aid certified. If anything comes up, you'll hear from me immediately, not after the fact. Cameras are active indoors and in the yard, for your dog's safety and your peace of mind. Book holidays early. Availability during Thanksgiving, Christmas, and summer fills fast, and holiday rates apply.
A typical day
Mornings start with a potty break and breakfast on your dog's normal schedule, I'll follow whatever routine you send me. Since I work from home, your dog has company nearby most of the day rather than being left alone for long stretches. We do a couple of supervised sessions in the fenced half-acre yard for sniffing, play, or just sunshine, paced to what your dog can handle (a senior dog gets a slow stroll, a younger dog gets more active time). No pack of other dogs to compete with or get overwhelmed by, since it's just your dog here. Afternoons are quiet, matching your dog's normal rhythm: nap time, a chew toy, or another short yard session. Any medications go out exactly on schedule. I send a photo or video update at least once a day so you can see how things are going. Evening is dinner, one more yard break, and settling in for the night. Overnight boarders sleep wherever they're most comfortable (crate, dog bed, or on the furniture if that's their normal setup at home).

Your dog’s home away from home!
Pet care experience
Hi, I’m Kyle and have 15+ years experience caring for animals! Your dog gets the whole house. I no longer have a dog of my own, so yours is the only pet here. No pack dynamics, no resident dog to negotiate with. That's made my home a go-to for reactive, anxious, and senior dogs who need calm. I work from home, so your dog has company about 90% of the day, plus a large fully fenced yard with 6-foot privacy fencing and gated entry for safe off-leash time. What I specialize in: Senior dogs: medication administration, mobility assistance, patient pacing Reactive and anxious dogs: quiet single-pet environment, no forced socializing Peace of mind, built in: Pet first-aid certified Emergency vet less than 10 minutes away Indoor/outdoor cameras Daily photo and video updates Meet-and-greet required before every first stay, because fit matters Working from home means your pup will have constant companionship throughout the day, with plenty of belly rubs, playtime, and potty breaks whenever needed. No more rushing home from work or feeling guilty about leaving them alone! My spacious, fully-fenced backyard is a dog's dream playground, perfect for supervised exercise that matches your pet's energy level and abilities – whether that's playful puppy zoomies or gentle senior strolls. Being present 90% of the day allows me to closely monitor your pet's well-being, maintain their routine, and ensure they're happy, comfortable, and getting all the care they need. I'm experienced in administering medications, following special diets, and accommodating mobility issues. Your dog's comfort and safety are my top priorities, and I'll adapt activities and care to their specific needs and limitations. Your peace of mind is my priority – regular updates, photos, and videos will keep you connected with your furry friend throughout their stay.

Reviews
My husband and I just got married and we needed a sitter for our two dogs. We are so glad we booked with Kyle! These things always make me nervous as you never now how they can go. Everything was perfect with Kyle. He made our day extra special knowing that our dogs were safe and so well taken care of. He sent updates frequently along with pictures to make us feel at ease. One of our dogs is a huge snuggler, and has a bit of separation anxiety. Receiving a picture of him on the bed with his head on Kyle’s lap was the icing on the cake. Kyle has a great size backyard for your dogs to run around and relax. My dogs were so happy! Thank you again Kyle! We will definitely be rebooking with you in the future.
We absolutely cannot recommend Kyle enough! Leaving our dog, Mylo, with someone new always makes us a bit nervous, but Kyle completely put our minds at ease. He provided regular updates with the cutest photos, and treated our pup as if he were his own. We came to pick him up to a happy, tired dog. If you are looking for a trustworthy, communicative, and genuinely caring pet sitter, look no further Kyle is your sitter
Kyle is a great resource for us. His home and yard are great for our dog. He is very communicative and sent us lots of photos of our dog while we are away. He was very attentive to our dogs needs and you can tell as soon as you meet him that he is great with animals. Would definitely recommend Kyle!
I left my pup with Kyle for a week long trip and the whole time felt assured that Tucker was in good hands and living his best life. Kyle took him on adventures, gave him snuggles and provided daily updates with pictures. He also has a fenced in backyard where my dog had the most fun laying in the sun! Defs would book with Kyle again!
