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.

Ratings and reviews
We were so happy with how Tyler took care of our dog while we were out of town! He's attentive and knowledgable, and you can tell how much he loves and cares for dogs by the thought and effort that he puts in to make your pup feel at home, even when they're away from home. We will 100% be using Tyler's services again in the future. Thanks again! :)
I am so very thankful to have found Tyler!! It’s such a wonderful thing to know that Ellie is so well cared for and happy when I have to go away!!
Tyler looked after Tori so well, and I am incredibly grateful! He was so kind throughout the whole time and gave Tori his full attention, which made me feel completely at ease. If I ever need a dog sitter again, I will absolutely choose Tyler without a doubt. Thank you so much for taking such wonderful care of Tori!
Tyler was amazing, house was lovely and clean to come back to but mostly he was perfect for our two puppies. They loved him and he was obviously devoted to them providing the best of care and keeping in touch with us the whole time we were away. I highly recommend Tyler!
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!!!!!

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.
