Safety, trust & environment

I like to get up and go on walks early. Pets being on the couch, on the bed, or sitting near me is also A-OK. Don't really have a lot of fancy, high value furniture in my house, so I'm not super afraid of high energy pets that bounce around. I also have a cat, but he can be in my bedroom away, if dogs are nervous about cats. But generally he gets along really well with dogs and has a ton of experience with them!

Information Lyle W. would like to know about your pet

I like to know about the dogs energy level, and also their sleep schedule, so I can find a good match and provide great care. It's also good to know if dogs get along with other dogs, specially when walking out in the neighborhood, so that I can be prepared for any challenges. And general anxiety level, or specific things they are anxious about helps to know if

A typical day

I really like going to public parks, particularly Mount Tabor and Laurelhurst park. The waterfront is also a nice place to take dogs, and I live in inner Southeast (Ladd's addition), so there's a lot of nice neighborhoods that are peaceful and are great for dog walking.

Pet care experience

Hi! I’m Lyle and I’ve been pet sitting thing for about six years now. Over that time, I’ve looked after so many amazing dogs and cats, and I honestly can’t imagine a more enjoyable job. A lot of the time it doesn't even feel like work. I truly love animals and treat every pet I care for like they’re my own. My clients often tell me they appreciate how dependable and caring I am—and that they can relax knowing their pets are safe and happy while they’re away. I have tons of great reviews from pet parents who trust me to handle everything from daily walks and playtime to feedings, cuddles, and even overnight stays at my place. I’ve worked with pets of all ages and personalities—from bouncy puppies to very chill and shy senior cats—and I’m very comfortable with special diets and/or medication administration, too. Whether your dog loves long walks or your cat prefers quiet company, I always take the time to get to know their unique routines and make sure they feel loved and comfortable. I know how much your pets mean to you, so communication is really important to me. I’ll always keep you updated with messages and photos and try to be really dependable with communication and answering questions or concerns so you can see how they’re doing. At the end of the day, I do this because it makes me happy to spend time with animals and i get a lot out of it. If you’re looking for a friendly, reliable sitter who truly loves what they do, I’d love to meet you and your pets!

Lyle was reliable, friendly, and overall did a great job. Even my anxious cat was interested in hanging out with him.
