Safety, trust & environment

I place strong emphasis in creating a comfortable environment for your pet while working with the schedule and rules you already have in place for them (no cheat treats unless you say so). You deserve to know that your furry friend is being treated basically like royalty under the safest supervision. I also make it a goal to provide regular updates/pictures to build trust between us and give you a little reminder of who's eagerly waiting for you when you return home!

Information Tyler W. would like to know about your pet

Tell me all about your pet's personality, daily routine, tricks/commands, fun or unique habits, dietary restrictions, special needs, any triggers to be careful of, and whatever else you think will best help me support you. I pride myself in being conscious of a dog or cat's social cues and attend to them or give them their space when they need, so your help with this is greatly appreciated!

A typical day

I have a habit of providing all my attention to any new pets I meet, possibly even more than my own friends and family at times. I'll make sure to take your dog on as many walks as they'd like if that means they'll sleep peacefully by the end of the night. And I love keeping your cat energized with their squeaky or feather toys just like I would with my own cats back home!

Caring Friend to You and Your Pets

Pet care experience

Hi, I'm Tyler and I currently live around the Virginia Square area of Arlington! I've grown up surrounded by many types of pets in my life, primarily dogs and cats with a few oddballs in the mix (rabbits, ducks, even a dove). I understand what it takes to help maintain the structure in your pet's day-to-day routine, while also bringing that love and compassion that would make them feel comfortable around someone new like me. I have experience with elderly dogs and cats in case they need special care with medicine or physical attention. I'm very diligent in adhering to a schedule and have the patience to work with special needs pets given ample notice ahead of hiring.

Tyler provided the best service of anyone from Rover that I’ve worked with. He was very detailed with his reports on how my cats were doing. He was very thoughtful and did everything requested and more. I will 100% be booking Tyler again in the future.

Tyler is a wonderful sitter and dog walker!! He is always so considerate and tailors the walks to my dog and gives her extra play time when she goes full dachshund and decides not to go for a walk. I cannot recommend Tyler enough, I never have to worry that my puppy is going to have a fun play day when he's watching her.

Each sitter joining Rover needs to pass a background check. And by booking on Rover, you can get photo & message updates, 24/7 support, and reimbursement for eligible vet care.
