We used Tylisha for about a year. She is very sweet and loving, and our dog Koffi would perk up every time he saw her. However, we did experience a few issues that ultimately led us to discontinue services: 1. Off-leash walking: Koffi was taken off leash in public parks that are not designated dog parks and are shared spaces with children and other people. This was against the walking instructions we had clearly outlined. 2. Unreliable scheduling: There were multiple occasions when she notified us of being sick the morning of the walk rather than the night before, which made planning difficult. 3. Dog-sitting concerns: We booked her for 4–6 hours of sitting after confirming her availability. However, she had a doctor’s appointment during that time and did not disclose it beforehand. For a booking of that duration, we expect our dog to have company, playtime, and supervision. Additionally, we paid more than her Rover rate for this off-platform booking, and afterward realized she had overcharged and had not spent the full time with Koffi. Because of these issues with cancellations, adherence to instructions, and reliability, we decided to part ways. She is very good with dogs and genuinely affectionate, but she does require more management and oversight than we are able to provide.

I feel very lucky to have met Tylisha. My animals quickly fell in love with her, and she had constant professional communication. Thank you Tylisha!

Tylisha did an amazing job with our two dogs. One of our dogs can be apprehensive towards people but immediately went to Tylisha upon meeting and had a great time! We will be booking with her again!
