Highlights
Pet care experience
Cuddles, Walks, and Worry-Free Care
I’ve cared for animals my whole life and understand how important it is to have someone reliable and compassionate looking after your pets. I grew up with a wonderful Dalmatian named Amy and often helped care for my neighbors’ dogs and cats, which taught me the value of patience, consistency, and trust in pet care early on. I now have a cat of my own and also spent a year volunteering at a local animal shelter in Kansas City, where I walked dogs of every size and energy level—from calm seniors to bouncy puppies—fed animals, cleaned kennels, and cared for cats of all ages and temperaments. Whether your pet loves playtime, long walks, or cozy cuddles, I’m dedicated to making them feel safe, happy, and loved while you’re away.

Safety, trust & environment
When caring for pets in your home, I prioritize safety, comfort, and routine. I follow your instructions carefully, making sure pets have fresh food and water, clean spaces, and any medications or special care they need. I can kennel dogs if that’s part of their routine, take them into the yard, or follow whatever schedule and activities you normally provide. My goal is to maintain your pet’s usual routine while providing a calm, loving presence so they feel safe and comfortable while you’re away.
Ratings and reviews
Tyra is fantastic! She was looking after our kitties for a vacation week. She was very kind and attentive to them. Both cats loved her! She is also a great communicator. Every visit she was sending us photos and we could see that cats are well taken care of. We'll definitely will work with her again!
Tyra has been a lifesaver when it comes to looking after my cat Bonnie. Whenever I’m out of town, I never have to worry because I know Bonnie is in the best hands. Tyra is always dependable and genuinely caring, and she treats Bonnie like she’s her own pet. I always come home to a happy, calm cat, and it’s clear Bonnie really enjoys her time with her. Tyra sends thoughtful updates and truly goes above and beyond to make sure Bonnie feels safe and loved. Having her around gives me so much peace of mind.

Schedule
I work from home and have a flexible schedule, which gives me plenty of time to walk dogs, play with them, or spend quality time with cats. Whether it’s walks, meal times, or simply hanging out, I can give pets the attention and care they need throughout the day.

- I like to know as much as possible about your pet ahead of time. What they love, what they dislike, any quirks or habits, and anything to watch out for helps me provide the best care possible. The more I know, the better I can tailor my visits so your pet feels safe, happy, and comfortable while you’re away.
