Availability

I typically work on my school schedule from around 12–8 PM, but it is important to note I have classes from 12-1 and 3-4 making me likely not available during those times. I have built-in breaks throughout the day that are flexible. This allows me to step away as needed for walks, feeding, playtime, and check-ins. Because I study from home, I’m able to provide consistent supervision and won’t be away for long periods, making it easy to give pets regular attention and care.

Safety, trust & environment

I prioritize safety by following each pet’s routine closely, keeping a clean and calm environment, and staying attentive to their behavior and needs. In clients’ homes, I respect their space and maintain consistency to reduce stress for pets. I’m careful with doors, leashes, and surroundings during walks and always aim to create a safe, comfortable experience. I also have access to a dog park at my apartment if needed.

Information Tyler H. would like to know about your pet

It’s important for me to know ahead of time any commands your dog responds to, what makes them feel comfortable, and their daily routine. I’m not able to work with extremely aggressive dogs or dogs that are not fully potty trained. Sharing this information helps me provide a safe, calm, and enjoyable experience tailored to your pet’s needs.

A typical day

I enjoy giving dogs plenty of physical activity through playtime, walks, and engagement, while also following their routines and cues to ensure they feel safe and comfortable. I adjust my care to each dog’s needs, making sure they get both stimulation and relaxation as appropriate, so their day is enjoyable, calm, and tailored to them.

Pet care experience

My experience with pets comes from spending time around friends’ and family members’ dogs, as well as caring for a cat of my own for a period of time. Through this, I’ve become comfortable with daily responsibilities like feeding, maintaining routines, giving attention, and making sure pets feel safe and relaxed in their environment. I’m newer to formal pet sitting, but I take a very attentive and intentional approach. I understand that every pet is different, so I make it a priority to follow each owner’s instructions closely—whether that’s specific feeding schedules, walk routines, or just how your pet likes to be interacted with. Because I’m currently in physical therapy school and complete my work from home, I’m able to provide consistent supervision, companionship, and a calm environment throughout the day. I’m patient, reliable, and genuinely enjoy spending time with animals, which helps me build trust with them quickly. My goal is always to make sure your pet feels comfortable and cared for while you’re away, and that you feel confident knowing they’re in good hands.
