Safety, trust & environment

I am experienced in administering medication orally and by injection (both intramuscular and subcutaneous) in both cats and dogs. I can crate or carry your animal in case of a veterinary event, and I have trustworthy transportation. I can go on walks long or short, fast or slow, always on leash. Throughout my visit(s) and at your request, I will update you on your animal's general care and well-being with pictures and/or video. I am a very clean person and will be extra respectful of your space.

Information Tyler D. would like to know about your pet

Please let me know if your pet has any current health issues, special needs, preferences, silly quirks, dislikes/aversions, allergies, medications, hidden talents, or favorite treats. I do have experience with senior and special needs dogs with issues such as diabetes, paralysis, blindness, and other injuries and afflictions. Please also have Veterinary contact info available, and please inform of any security issues (ex: if there will be another person in the home, if the animal is an "escape artist," if the pet has any behavioral triggers or history of biting/scratching/aggression, etc.) Happy to cater to different pet personalities! Please also let me know if your animal has had any recent or current exposure to fleas or other infestations, and current treatment plans. Animals/households with active infestations or infectious diseases may be denied service, as I deal with many animal clients and do not want to risk exposure. Thank you!

A typical day

After getting to know about your pet and hearing your needs and preferences, I'll spend my time with them making sure they're comfortable, safe, and happy. I'd be glad to take them for walks, play fetch, practice their tricks, or even just relax with them, depending on their vibe that day. Play time or cuddles, I'm here for it all! I am also open to any general housesitting duties such as watering plants, light cleaning, bringing in mail and packages, etc. Please mention any requests when booking.

Pet care experience

**For your peace of mind, I am independently insured as a pet-sitter and house-sitter.** I grew up in two different homes. In my mom's house, we always had cats. In my dad's house, we always had dogs. I've been taking care of both dogs and cats for over three decades. I have experience administering medication and injections, as well as general training, cleaning, and care of all-aged animals from puppy or kitten, to senior and special needs dogs and cats. I have always been the go-to animal caretaker for my friends and family. I have also cared for chickens, pigs, birds, fish, rats, mice, hamsters, gerbils, turtles, and more. Let me hang out with your animal friend(s)!

Tyler was amazing. He responded in minutes with my one day notice request and he was more than welcoming. He proposed a meet and greet and he was very nice and friendly. Nobody else I would ever trust with my blind baby!

I was initially skeptical about booking through Rover, but Tyler quickly put my mind at ease. He took the time to do a meet and greet beforehand, asked thoughtful questions about Jade's routine and personality, and it was immediately clear he was experienced and genuinely cared about dogs. The best endorsement I can give is that Jade was glued to him from the moment they met. While I was away, Tyler sent regular updates and photos, was always quick to respond, and I could tell Jade was happy, comfortable, and well cared for. Tyler's professionalism, attention to detail, and connection with dogs really stood out. As an added bonus, he took great care of my home and left everything in excellent condition. I would happily book with Tyler again and highly recommend him to anyone looking for a reliable and experienced dog sitter.
