Veteran-Owned Dog Sitting 🇺🇸🐾
Pet care experience
As a retired veteran with a passion for animals, I am thrilled to offer my expertise in providing top-notch care for your furry family members. With over five years of experience in house and dog sitting, I understand the importance of ensuring your pets feel comfortable and loved while you're away. I believe in open communication, so I'm always available to chat about your expectations for the sitting. Dogs naturally gravitate towards me, and I pride myself on creating a relaxed and enjoyable environment for them. Whether it's hanging out at your home for house sittings, dropping in to check on your pets during long periods away, or taking them for energizing walks, I've got you covered. My schedule is flexible, with the exception of night school from 6-9 pm. Aside from that, I'm free to dedicate my time to caring for your pets. When I'm not spending time with animals, you can find me indulging in my love for camping and outdoor adventures. Growing up in a military family has allowed me to explore 26 countries, and I often incorporate my passion for hunting and camping into my travels. With me, your pets will receive the love, attention, and adventure they deserve. Contact me today to discuss how I can provide the perfect care for your beloved companions!
Reviews
I cannot praise Ty enough for the incredible care and attention he provided to my beloved dog Toby! From the moment I dropped Toby off, I knew he was in the best hands. Ty’s genuine love for animals shines through in everything he does. Not only did he ensure Toby’s physical needs were met with regular walks and feeding, but he also went above and beyond to shower Toby with affection and make him feel right at home. I received daily updates and photos, which eased my mind and allowed me to enjoy my time away knowing Toby was happy and content. Ty’s professionalism, kindness, and dedication to his furry clients are truly commendable. I wholeheartedly recommend him to anyone seeking top-notch pet care!
Ty is an excellent and fantastic choice to watch your pet. Last year, I took some time away from home for vacation 3 times. I had Ty watch my animals and I did not have to worry one bit about how they were taken care of. If there is an extra step taken, he goes above that step to make sure that your pets are taken care of.
Ty is an exceptional pet caregiver! During a family vacation, He showed genuine affection and responsibility towards my German shepherd waffles. I felt reassured knowing Ty was looking after her. His attentiveness and caring nature make him the perfect choice for anyone seeking a reliable pet sitter. Highly recommended.
Ty is a classic dog man, the kind that would jump into oncoming traffic to save a loose pet. You won't have to worry about your pets getting loose with Ty though, his arms are like tree trunks. He would likely win tug of war against a whole sled team that's been trained for the Iditarod. I've left my dogs in Ty's care before, they're always happy and healthy. He's a USAF veteran, trustworthy in character, and exceptional in performance. The only problem you'll have is that your dogs will be more excited to see him than they are you.

A typical day
A typical day of caring for a client's dog begins with an early morning wake-up call, where I greet the pup with plenty of love and affection. After a refreshing walk to stretch our legs and get some fresh air, it's time for breakfast, served according to the dog's dietary preferences and any specific instructions from the client. Throughout the day, our activities may vary based on the dog's energy level and interests. This could include interactive playtime with toys, fun training exercises to keep their mind sharp, or leisurely lounging together while I work on tasks around the house. Regular potty breaks are scheduled to ensure the dog stays comfortable and happy. Midday offers another opportunity for exercise, whether it's a brisk walk around the neighborhood, a visit to a nearby park for some off-leash play, or a stimulating game of fetch in the backyard. Afternoons are often reserved for relaxation and downtime, with cozy nap sessions and cuddle time on the agenda. I make sure to provide plenty of attention and affection to reassure the dog that they're loved and cared for. Evenings wind down with a final walk before dinner, followed by a nutritious meal and some quiet time to digest. As the day comes to a close, we enjoy a calming bedtime routine, complete with a cozy spot to sleep and gentle reassurance that they're safe and secure. Throughout the day, I maintain open communication with the client, providing updates and photos to keep them informed and involved in their dog's daily adventures. By following a structured yet flexible routine tailored to the dog's needs, I strive to ensure a happy, healthy, and fulfilling experience for both the dog and the client.
