5-Star Canine Vacations w/Dog Lover
Pet care experience
I love dogs of every breed. I've watched dogs of all ages and types, so your dog's worry-free vacation can be tailored to their needs with plenty of good walks, belly rubs, and an easygoing experience. You can be sure to look forward to my little "postcards" of your furry baby's stay coming your way. About this sitter: I'm an active, nature-loving, dog-less dog-lover! I believe that life is always better with a canine friend around. I can't wait to meet yours! Why I love dog sitting Since always! I didn't grow up owning a dog, but I sure found ways of finding others to play with! When I was in middle school, I was a volunteer at the Helen Woodward Animal Center. In high school, I always gravitated towards friends with dogs. In the last six years, I've helped raise a friend's puppy (housebreaking, first bout with fleas, food allergies...), trained my mom's rescue pup (Cesar Milan's book helped), and have pet-sit for nearly everyone I know in Santa Barbara (often weeks and months at a time, for every size dog you can imagine!). I always thought dogs shouldn't have to be boarded if at all possible and love the opportunity to explore new places like parks, beaches and mountain trails with new canine friends. Meet my pets None yet. Someday! My experience administering medication I am! I've taken care of dogs recovering from surgery, with arthritis, thyroid problems, allergies, and simply those who take extra supplements. I know that maintaining these routines keep pups healthy and owners happy.
Reviews
Tyler is wonderful, kind, reliable, we miss her!
Tyler was fantastic! It was our first time using rover and we were a bit nervous about leaving our dog with someone we didn’t know - but Tyler put us at ease. She came to the house twice before her stay to get to know us and our pup. She communicated every day and sent pictures to let us know the things were going well at home. Our dog was happy when we got home and our house was spotless. I would definitely recommend Tyler if you need an overnight sitter or just a pal for your dog when you are busy. We will be reaching out to her again to watch our puppy when we are out of town. Thanks again Tyler for such a great experience!!!
the greatest! thank you!

Information Tyler M. would like to know about your pet
Upfront, I always ask owner what a day in the life of your dog is like. Understanding the relationship the dog has with the owner, other dogs, and the outside world is very important. Is off-the-leash an option or does your dog like to run for the hills? Is your dog wary of being around men? Kids? Bigger dogs? Smaller dogs? Dishwashers? What level of companionship does your dog seek? Velcro dog or fairly independent? What makes your dog feel most at home?
A typical day
I get in 2-4 walks or park romps in each day, depending on your dog's preferences. I usually walk or bike most everywhere in my neighborhood, so long walks are easy to come by. Or if your pup is game, a playdate at Del Mar or OB's dog beaches is always in the card! The longer your pup stays away from home the more fun they should have. Your dog's sleeping arrangement Where does your dog usually sleep? In a crate in our spare room, in our room next to the bed on pillows or doggy bed, or in the bed... I'm flexible! Time I'll spend with your dog I usually work from home, so unless I have an appointment (just check my calendar!), I am available all day!
