Highlights
Pet care experience
Your pets’ new favorite friend
I bring over 10 years of hands-on professional experience in the veterinary field, along with more than 30 years of daily life caring for cats and dogs. I’m comfortable working with pets of all temperaments, including shy or reactive dogs, and I have experience caring for elderly, disabled, and special needs animals. I’m skilled in administering medications (can give injections) and monitoring for signs of illness or distress, so you can feel confident your pet’s health is in good hands. Beyond medical care, there’s nothing I love more than becoming your pets best friend and providing the enrichment and attention they need. Whether that is long walks and playtime or calm companionship and cuddles. I’m happy to reinforce basic training cues, provide regular updates with photos, and keep your home in order while you’re away. My goal is to provide reliable, compassionate care so your pets feel safe, happy, and loved while you’re gone.
Qualifications
Ratings and reviews
Kyle has watched my pets many times over the years, and always does an amazing job caring for them. He took amazing care of my senior dog with specialized medical needs, before he passed. He has also cared for my cats, including one with special medical needs, and my special needs rescue dogs. All of my pets love Kyle, and I fully trust him to take good care of them, to make sure they are happy and have good judgment about their behavioral quirks and medical issues. Kyle has been very patient and caring towards my anxious dog Quinn, who struggles with trusting men. When I was in the middle of an unfortunate personal situation, Kyle walked Quinn every day, and was great about getting her comfortable and able to trust him. He was patient and calm, and is one of the few men that Quinn trusts - she is very picky! I would trust Kyle with any of my pets - from rambunctious high energy to pets with special needs.
I can’t recommend Kyle enough! My corgi is usually very suspicious of strangers, but from the very first visit, Kyle handled him with patience, care, and calm confidence. He knew exactly how to earn his trust and keep him comfortable, and I felt completely at ease leaving him in their care. It’s clear he genuinely loves animals and understand their unique personalities. I’ll have been using him for all my pet-sitting needs.
We have a large, energetic dog who can be a handful at times, but he was amazing with him. He made sure our pup got plenty of exercise and playtime while also keeping him calm and happy at home. We loved getting photo updates throughout the day and could tell our dog was having the best time. It’s not easy to find someone who can handle a big playful dog with such patience and care, and we’ll definitely be booking again.
Kyle has taken care of my dogs several times while I’ve been out of town. My dogs love him. It helps a lot to know my dogs are with someone who takes such good care of them. They get so excited to see him when I’m leaving. I hate leaving my dogs, but knowing they’ll be happy and cared for while I’m gone is a huge relief. He is very skilled with animals.

Schedule
Currently I am lucky enough to have full control over my schedule and will always make time for walks! There’s no activity I love more than hanging out with dogs and going on walks.
Where your pet will stay
Safety, trust & environment
Your pet’s safety and comfort are always my top priority. With over a decade of professional veterinary experience, I know how to handle pets calmly and safely in a variety of situations. I’m comfortable managing pets with medical needs, special care requirements, or challenging temperaments, and I keep a close eye on their well-being at all times. I believe communication builds trust, so I provide regular updates and photos to give you peace of mind while you’re away. I treat every pet as if they were my own, with patience, respect, and care. You can count on me to follow your instructions closely and to create a secure, loving environment for your furry family members.
A typical day
My day with your pet starts with a cheerful greeting and lots of pets and attention. I make sure every dog gets a good walk, playtime, and plenty of cuddles, and I follow any routines or feeding instructions you provide. I keep your pets safe, comfortable, and happy while you’re away, whether that’s a mid-day potty break, a drop-in visit, or a full day of care. You’ll get updates and pictures so you can see how much fun your furry friend is having!
