My partner and I will be sure to give your animal all the attention they need — we both love the excuse to dote on a pet! Depending on our new friend's energy levels, both work part time so we will certainly take them out for as many long walks as they need, and will be able to follow their schedule. With or without a furry friend in our home, we both take long walks every day, so fitting a companion into our schedules is easy!

Safety, trust & environment

I will always see & ask what a specific dog's needs are before working with them. I love fetch, tug of war, and wrestling with dogs who want to do so, but I am also happy to cuddle up on the couch next to a sleepy low energy dog. I've specifically worked for long periods of time with getting anxious dogs to open up to new people, so I know when to give a pet their space.

Information Lyle S. would like to know about your pet

Please tell me your dogs attitude towards people and other dogs while on walks. I would like to know if they have attachment anxiety to adequately gage if I have the time to properly care for them.

A typical day

I can throw the ball for hours for a dog, I can snuggle up, I can walk dogs who don't care for affection, and take them to the dog park. Some good ear and back scratches are definitely in the calendar.

Experienced and flexible pet pal!

Pet care experience

I have always loved animals. My experience with them includes having pets throughout my life, working as a teenager at a dog day care center, and working at an animal sanctuary in Texas with unusual pets, as well as 5+ years on Rover. In Edinburgh, I only work part time (with dogs!), so I will have plenty of time to care for your pet.

Firenze had another great stay with Lyle! He got to play with some other dogs and they went to a park for some outdoor fun. Loved all the pictures! We will definitely rebook with Lyle again!

Loki, who cannot be fully trusted, reacted well to Lyle's calm approach. Lyle kept us updated through the day with reassuring messages and photos.

Lyle was fantastic! We had a really positive meet and greet before the dogs went to stay which fully put my mind at rest. I got lovely pictures and updates throughout their stay and they came hope happy, well exercised and calm. Lyle even had fed them when they were being picky with food. I would definitely recommend and would love to have my dogs stay with Lyle again.

Luka was so well cared for and I felt completely at ease while I was away. I received lovely photo updates which really reassured me. Lyle was really helpful, kind and great to deal with. I wouldn’t hesitate to book again. Thank you!
