Highlights
Pet care experience
Experienced Trainer!
Hello! I have been in the area since 2024 and look forward to taking great care of all animals in my care. My background is in Psychology and for 4 years, I trained professionally at 2SpeakDog in Richmond, VA, including running their Day Training Program. I have been training dogs and dog-sitting for 17 years. I have experience with all ages and extensive experience with fearful, reactive, nervous, and/or special needs dogs. I use positive reinforcement and am very calm, cool, and collected. I have cared for dogs with diabetes, dogs that need oral medication, and dogs who are very high energy. I am very active and love to be on the go, and I love to hike the trails with pups! I am also good to relax and hang out with the senior babies. Thank you for your time and I look forward to meeting you and your fur baby!

Safety, trust & environment
I have a large SUV for outings and come equipped with all kinds of safety needs: extra leashes, collars, harnesses, water, and poop bags! I can also crate your dog in my car if necessary.
Ratings and reviews
Communicative, kind, and good with our little cat.

Oh gosh - where do I even start?! Tyler is incredible, to say the least. Kind, caring, trustworthy and understands dogs, and their quirks, on a deep level. We are beyond happy that our boy Marvin has a friend in Tyler!
