Pet care experience

Compassionate, Responsible Pet Care

My name is Tyler and I'm a lifelong dog lover. Having spent the last few decades of my life with Saint Bernards, I have a special affinity for Giant Breeds, but love all creatures great and small. I spent 3 years in the Pet Industry (With Ruffwear, a manufacturer of high quality outdoor gear for dogs) and have experience with puppies, adults, and senior dogs, including the infirm and partially paralyzed. I'm a health conscious, active and compassionate individual and would be honored by the opportunity to help care for your friends in your absence. Thank you for your time and consideration. I look forward to assisting you. Cheers!

Tyler and Emily are just 10/10 amazing. Couldn’t ask for a lovelier petcare team!

Very sweet and his family took care of my little guy! My boy isn’t the easiest to get along with but they treated him very well. He had a great time and was pretty pooped when I picked him back up. Recommend!

Tyler was amazing! He was very helpful, flexible and easy to communicate with while setting up our booking for a day of pet sitting so that we could go on a whale watching cruise. His house is setup perfectly for watching a dog, and he provided plenty of exercise for our pup. We would 100% use Tyler again if we are back in the area.

Safety, trust & environment

Like their human counterparts, each dog is unique, and I approach caring for them with this in mind. A combination of intuition, experience, and good communication with our clients and their owners ensures an active, engaged, compassionate experience.

A typical day

Walks on the beach, hikes through the woods, naps on the couch, fetch at the park, jogs down the street, cuddling on the floor. You name it, I can pull it off!
