Warmer days! Let’s go for a run!

Pet care experience

Hello hello humans and woof woof (meow meow) furry ones! I was able to share approximately 10 years of my life with furry family members of my own, including beagles, a husky, Boston terriers, and a pit bull but for the past few years I have not been able to. At this time, I provide care to my friends furry loved ones whenever they are in need of assistance and a few would gladly paw a letter of recommendation (the fur balls, not the humans of course)! I am frequently caught by others waving to passing by dogs or cats hanging out in windows. Everyone and everything appreciates a smile and wave hello! I enjoy taking dogs for walks and getting them much needed exercise including jogging, running, favorite activities, beach play, etc., and providing them with some intimate social interaction before or afterwards if wanted or needed. I enjoy assisting with teeth brushing and ear cleaning. I would enjoy assisting with teaching or training behaviors and potty training although I have no formal training or education in these besides my own personal knowledge. I enjoy brushing, cuddling, and understanding any other special needs that makes them unique. All of this applies to cats, too! I am open to questions or comments about any wants or needs that are a vital part of your dog or cats care that I may have missed so please feel free to ask or start a discussion about something!

Lyle took such great care of our dog Whiskey and our place!! He sent frequent updates and pictures, which we really appreciated. Our dog takes medicine twice a day and Lyle made sure to follow the instructions carefully. This is the second time Lyle has watched Whiskey and we’d love to have him back again!!

Could not recommend Lyle more! He is super communicative and we know our dog is in great care with him.

Lyle was an amazing pet sitter. He arrived super early since we had to be at the airport so darn early in the morning and stayed just up until we returned. He kept us updated just the right amount with adorable photos and quick messages. He has great energy and it’s obvious he really loves animals. We felt very comfortable having him care for our elderly dog and blind cat. He also left our place spotless. We will definitely invite him back when the need arises. Highest recommendation!

Lyle did a great job taking care of our anxious pup. Lyle was very responsive and communicative. He asked lots of questions showing how much he cared for the well-being of our little guy. Our pup can be pretty territorial and nervous around strangers. Lyle was able to navigate that difficulty while we were away for the weekend

Information Lyle C. would like to know about your pet

Dogs of all breeds make the world a better place so I welcome them all! A few things I would like to know before we get to know each other include likes, dislikes, what cheers them up, what puts them down, health concerns, behavioral concerns, favorite itching spot, favorite place to relax, are they okay with touch, and more as we bark at each other.

A typical day

We will go on walks with lots of trees and grassy areas to enjoy as much as possible. We will play your favorite activities, but if I get to choose then running, catch, and frisbee are sure to make the list.

I have a full-time job that is in the office so weekends are when I’m almost always free. Mornings and afternoons vary per day per week but I’ll try my hardest to meet your needs! At this time, I am available Monday and Wednesday mornings as well as Tuesday, Thursday, and Friday evenings for regular walks or one-time needs. Go out and enjoy the lake, treat yourself to dinner and drinks or spend the day outside of the city - I got yinz covered!
