Highlights
Pet care experience
Reliable dog care, flexible hours
Hi, I’m Tyler! I’m a programmer who works from home and has a deep love for dogs. I had a golden retriever named Zipper for 10 amazing years. Losing him was incredibly hard, and while I’m not ready to get another dog just yet, caring for other people’s dogs is a wonderful way for me to stay connected with animals I love.
Qualifications
Ratings and reviews
This was the longest I have ever been away from my Ellie, and knowing that she was with Tyler meant that I didn’t worry about her even once. Ellie loves Tyler, his place is her second home, and I am just so grateful to have such a fantastic person to leave her with when I have to go away for work!
Thanks so much! Tyler kept us updated throughout the walk with Gus and took excellent care of him.
Max loves Tyler and has stayed with him a few times now. This time, though, Max was on medication that had some challenging side effects, and we so appreciate how Tyler went above and beyond to make sure he was well cared for while we were away.
I can't recommend Tyler enough! He treated my dog with so much love and patience, making sure she had long walks and plenty of playtime. He’s a true dog lover and it really shows!
Wow!!! Tyler is simply WOW!!! Such an amazing person and the most caring dog sitter there is! I just wish he was more available for us..... (He's booked. and rightfully so!) :) Our 15 year old dog Shusha can't wait to go back to him for another stay!
Tyler was great with Archie. Archie is currently on a lot of medication and Tyler handled it with ease. He was very communicative and sent a lot of cute photos. We are fortunate to have found him.

Schedule
I work from home as a programmer with very limited work hours, so I have a lot of free time in my schedule. I like to play chess online in the evenings, and I really only go out on Wednesday afternoon/evenings to the chess club, and am otherwise always home.
Where your pet will stay
Home characteristics
Safety, trust & environment
For boarding: I live in a 1,330 sq. ft. pet-friendly apartment. I got permission from my strata council to have a dog stay here. For boarding at my place, it is especially important that your dog does not bark or whine, and is well behaved (no bathroom accidents, chewing on furniture, etc.). For dog-sitting: I would kindly request that your house be clean upon my arrival, and I will return it just as clean upon my departure. My rates are for taking care of your dog. I'm happy to check the mail and do basic requests like this, but watering plants, mowing the lawn, cleaning the house (outside of my mess) is not within the services I provide. For both: I will be home nearly all the time except for 4 hours on Wednesdays and maybe 20m-1h some other days to go buy groceries or pick up food, etc.
A typical day
If I am dog walking, I am sure to allow your dog to enjoy the smells, investigate interesting sights and sounds, and explore. If dog sitting, I love to pet and cuddle, play their favourite games with them, but also let them have their alone time if that is what they want. I'll talk to them like a human and resist the urge of giving them too many treats.

- I kindly ask that you share any important information about your dog’s behavior or needs: things like barking or whining, bathroom habits, separation anxiety, aggression, or food allergies. That helps me give your pup the best care possible. Looking forward to meeting you and your furry friend!
