Pet care experience

Ive been around pets all my life! I started raising dogs when I was 11 and have helped friends and nieghbors with their dogs and cats since I was 15. Tasks have ranged from small check-ins with pets, to staying overnight to keep them company.

Safety, trust & environment

I have one black short haired cat that I spend most of my time with. She stays indoors, but I let her come out on my back deck to get some air and a better view of the birds and chipmunks she always has beef with. She's the most hyperactive and persnicity cat I've ever had the pleasure of knowing, so I'm experienced with cats who have their own ways of playing.

Dog Walking • Sep 04, 2026

He has been amazing! Our dogs are so well cared for and he’s always right on time. He takes the time to play with them during their daily walk, his communication is always prompt and he’s been flexible when things have come up. Highly recommend 😊

He is great with both cats and dogs and is such a natural at matching their energy. Our cat is very playful but also quite demanding and temperamental, and he's been wonderful at tuning in to what she's asking for or complaining about, whether it's a change in play style or just wanting the blinds open for her "window time." He also gets along great with dogs and is comfortable with high-energy dogs and large dogs that don't know their own strength.

Tyler is incredibly compassionate and patient with animals. I've watched him earn the trust of high anxiety foster dogs and cozy up to shy kittens. His own cat is very particular with who she will accept attention from, but she runs up to him and lifts her paws at him to ask for hugs. He's good with big dogs, little dogs, puppies, my friend's dog (who I puppy-sit often) loves to see Tyler, and even recognizes him out in the wild and pulls and tugs to go love on him. Tyler is one of only a small handful of people who I would trust unconditionally with my own pets. He loves with his whole heart and I've only ever seen animals respond to that in kind.

T took awesome care of my cat Mr. Buggs. He's professional and I'd recommend him to anyone. He really went out of his way to make sure my cat was taken care of

Right now I work at a local food pantry on Tuesdays and Thursdays. Sundays are also a busy day for me, but I can be very flexible and move times around with enough notice.
