Pet care experience

Dog Lover in a quiet neighborhood

Hello my name is Tyler. I’m 40 yrs old and I love spending time with dogs. I have been a dog owner and have trained all my own dogs. Currently I’m unemployed due to having brain surgery at the end of 24’ and then the follow up treatments taking most of 25’. So I have lotsa time, attention, and love to give your pet(s). This is actually my attempt at getting back into the working world. Can’t imagine a much better way to ease back into work than to help some people out with their pet care needs. I have a park walking distance from my house that I can take dogs to run around and use the bathroom and I live in a good area for walks. I am well versed on typical dog etiquette in public around other people and animals. I have experience with all types of dogs large and small. I’m a big guy and can handle the larger breeds pretty well usually, but also caring for the little ones as well. I always prioritize the pet(s) health and safety first, and then having some fun second :). I would love to provide a safe and relaxing spot for your pet(s). Also FYI - for boardings if pickup on the last day is after noon I will ask for a day fee of $35.

Doggy Day Care • Apr 26, 2026

Tyler was great. He was good with my dogs, easy-going, friendly, and nice. He was very flexible in timing for drop-off & pickup, which was very helpful while we were sightseeing on vacation. The second day, both my dogs ran to greet him at the door as we arrived, which told me everything I needed to know. I would use him again when I'm in the area.

Doggy Day Care • Apr 25, 2026

We traveled from Michigan to explore the area and visit the Creation Museum. During our visit, Tyler provided outstanding care for our nervous dog. He ensured she enjoyed multiple walks each day, which she loves. Understanding her age, Tyler was flexible and allowed her to take her much-needed naps. Thanks to Tyler, we could fully enjoy ourselves knowing our dog was in great hands!

Tyler was excellent dog sitter and very accommodating to our Biscuit. He took very good care of biscuit. Biscuit was happy and cheerful when he got back home.

Tyler is a great sitter! Our dog stayed with him for 5 days and he came home to us very happy. I really appreciate how he quickly replies to messages and sent photos and videos of my dog through out the stay.

Tyler was a perfect match for our yellow lab Sam. Easy communication, drop off and pick up we’re smooth and Sam came home a happy dog.

Schedule

I’m currently unemployed due to brain surgery I had this time last year to remove a large cancerous tumor. Luckily I recovered beautifully and quickly and am still fully functional, minus a little extra forgetfulness but nothing bad at all. So I’m available all days of the week, and have all my time, attention and love to give your pet(s). I’m very experienced with dogs of all types large, small, u name it. I’m a big guy at 6’4” and about 225 lbs so I can handle em all. I’m also rather calm and quiet which I believe helps animals feel at ease around me. I’d take care of yours as if they were my own! :)

Safety, trust & environment

I take as much precaution as I can with all animals certainly someone else’s. The animals safety and health are my number one concern when caring for someone’s loved pet(s).

A typical day

I enjoy taking dogs to the beach, walking around my neighborhood, or walking one of the many scenic areas near where I live. I also was a baseball player so if your dog likes to play fetch I like to throw :).

I’ll take most any breed as long as the dog is fairly well behaved. I would like to know if the dog has any health issues, allergies, etc... Also anything in particular the dog doesn’t like so I can avoid that, as well as anything that they do like. Anything else the owner would like to provide would be appreciated.
