Availability

Most days I am working from home and have open availability. I can usually be pretty flexible. I can visit your pet in your home or your pup is welcome to stay with me at my home as long as he/she gets along with my dog. I am happy to take on any of your furry friends on short notice and I promise to love them like my own.

Information Tyler D. would like to know about your pet

I welcome all pets. I only ask that owners are honest and straightforward about any behaviors, fears, or triggers their pet may have so that I know what to expect.

A typical day

If your dog is social I would be happy to take him/her to the dog beach or any dog parks. If your dog prefers personal attention, I am happy to take him/her on walks around your neighborhood. I also am an avid hiker and would love to take your large/active breeds on hikes with me. And if your dog just needs a cuddle buddy, we can spend the day on the couch.

Pet care experience

Hello! My name is Tyler (she/her) and I'm a 31yo freelance artist and textile designer. I have had many pets throughout my life including dogs, snakes, chickens, turtles, guinea pigs, fish, and a variety of fosters and rescues. I couldn't imagine a life without animals! I have experience working with (and love) dogs of all breeds, sizes, and backgrounds. Promo code TYLERD17365 for $20 off your first booking

Thank you for caring for my Ice Bear. Ice Bear looked so comfortable and at home as shown on the pics and video.

Tyler is great with our Remi. We are repeat customers with her. When we come to the Santa Cruz area, she is the first sitter I contact.
