Highlights
Pet care experience
Your dog’s home away from home!
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.

Ratings and reviews
Kyle was wonderful! He did such a great job with my senior, somewhat anxious dog. He asked all the right questions beforehand, sent me updates and photos throughout my time away, and delivered me a happy and well-rested dog at the end. Kyle had such a calm demeanor, a tidy home, and a beautiful and serene backyard - exactly what my dog needed!
Kyle was an AMAZING sitter for someone new to the West coast and nervous about leaving their pet for travel. He provided daily pictures and updates, adjusts to your dogs needs/quirks, and even took Rigby (who is strong willed on his leash 😂) for a fun adventure! If you're looking for peace of mind and someone who will spoil your furry friend, Kyle is absolutely the sitter you're looking for!!
Kyle was so great with my dogs (two 50 pound husky mixes) and everything was so easy and low-key. He has a great house set-up with protected yard access through a back door so the dogs can spend lots of time outside in the yard, and lots of parks nearby. Good vibes all around! Oh and he also mentioned he previously had a shepherd husky mix, so an especially great person to watch your husky if you are looking for someone with breed-specific experience.
Kyle let us feel comfortable being away from our fur babies. He updated us throughout our time away and they got along great. We will use Kyle again.
Kyle was incredible with our pup! Great communication for the meet up, drop off, and pickup. Our dog was comfortable right away which is rare for her! Kyle gave great updates throughout the day letting us know what she was up to and made sure she stayed cool on a hot day. Would recommend Kyle highly!
Kyle was an excellent dog sitter! He had great communication from start to finish, kept us updated, and made us feel completely at ease while we were away. It was clear he treated our dog with kindness and care, and we came home to a happy, well cared for pup. We’d definitely book with Kyle again and highly recommend him to anyone looking for a reliable and thoughtful sitter.

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).

- 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.
