Information Tyler R. would like to know about your pet

Please let me know any behavioral concerns that would put me or other dogs at risk. I am well experienced with avoiding other dogs if need be. If the requested time of service has flexibility, a time range that works best (ie between 11am-1pm) would be extremely helpful to me! Thanks for checking out my profile :)

A typical day

I excel at giving your dog exercise to help them chill out for the day! We typically just walk around and smell stuff, do the business and get home safely. All my dog friends have different needs so each walk is unique. I don’t ever walk in groups unless they are already a family. I prefer an individualized experience and enjoy the connection more that way ̀⁽ᵕ̈⁾ ́

Pets

I care for dogs with all my heart:)

Pet care experience

I grew up caring for dogs since I was a kid. While in high school, I enjoyed repeatedly dog sitting for family friends to support my goals of music. When I moved into my own home, I rescued a 100 pound black lab/pitbull named Jimmy and lovingly cared for him for 7 years. He required 2 daily walks, lots of love, and genuine play which I gave him with joy. I loved keeping him happy, he was my best friend. No matter your dog’s breed and personality, I would love to be their friend as well, giving them all they need and more. *update September 2025 hey! I’ve just moved here from NYC where I made a living as a dog walker for 3 years. Before that I was walking dogs in Cincinnati, OH. Happy to be here in Oakland and I look forward to meeting you and the dog friends ̀⁽ᵕ̈⁾ ́

Tyler did such a great job walking Stitch during my last vacation. I got lots of pictures and videos from their walks. When I came back my dog was so happy!

Tyler not only jumped in last minute to help out with my dog, but he fed him sent me a lot of pictures made me feel very comfortable and also wiped up water from a dishwasher that was leaking. I’d call that above and beyond.
