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.

About Tyler C.

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.

Information Tyler C. would like to know about your pet
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!
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.

Pet care experience
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.
Reviews

Tyler took great care of Pippin and made sure we were updated on how he was doing. He really took the time to understand our pup so he'd be comfortable!

Tyler is absolutely the best dog-sitter anyone could ask for. My Ellie has stayed with him so many times now that he is part of her family, and we trust Tyler completely. This last time I had to go away for work and Ellie had gotten into a bunch of thai food and was quite sick when Tyler started taking care of her. He was so great with her, despite all the inconvenience (and poop!), he kept me updated and reassured, and she was back to her usual goofy self a couple of days later. There are very few people that I would leave Ellie with when she is sick… we are SO very lucky to have found Tyler!!!!!

Tyler is basically Ellie’s co-parent at this point. We are so lucky to have found him!

Second time booking Tyler for my pup and once again very kind, on time and followed all of my directions. Thanks!
