Pet care experience

All breeds welcome! EVMS Student

Hi! I've been operating on Rover for about 5 years now! I've had dogs for as long as I can remember and love being around them. I have experience with all sizes of dogs from Papillons to German Shepards. I am accepting of all breeds, sizes and ages. I've had several dogs with allergies and other health issues, so I am experienced in giving medications, applying any topicals, and noticing any developing symptoms. I also have lots of experience with cats and even have one of my own with medical issues, so I would love to do drop ins for your feline friends!

Tyler was great! This was my first time using Rover, and Tyler helped walk me through the process. I was able to relax on my vacation knowing that my cat was in good hands. He was patient with my very shy cat and took great care of her, and I came home to a safe, healthy, happy cat! Would definitely book with Tyler again.

Tyler was very patient with us using Rover for the first time and took great care of our cats! He played with them and sent pictures on a daily basis. Even my cats could tell that he has a great spirit and weren't scared of him a bit, which means a lot!

I am currently a student at Eastern Virginia Medical School and am in my last year so my schedule can be somewhat variable. However for the next few months I will be available for mid-day walks/cat visits!

Safety, trust & environment

I have a 7 year old Pit Bull Terrier that absolutely loves all other animals and can adjust his play style according to other dogs sizes. I also have a small fenced in outdoor patio where your dogs can relax outside with some sun in between walks. I live alone so there won't be too much stimulation from others, and there's plenty of space for your pup to take some time to their selves if needed.

Pets

A typical day

I live in the middle of Ghent with lots places to walk. My dog loves to play and has lots of toys to share so there should never be a dull moment for your pup. If your dog likes to sunbathe, I have an outdoor patio that is fenced in, gets lots of sun, and has an area to use the bathroom for extra outside time. There is also a dog park only a few blocks away from me if you would like your dog to get out and socialize with others!

Cats

Crate-trained dogs only
Takes only 1 client at a time
Tyler can host up to 2 pets per night
Please let me know if your dog has any special medications, diet, behaviors (ex. food aggression, separation anxiety), and I will be able to accommodate! I do require your pup to be house/crate trained. Additionally, I can provide food for your dog if you do not bring any, but will charge an additional $1-2 per night to account for the cost of food (my dog's food is about $70 for 24 lbs).
