Highlights
Pet care experience
Long-Time Animal Lover
I am a dog trainer with over 8 years of experience working with animals of all ages, breeds, and personalities. I worked as a pet sitter as well in the past, caring for pets ranging from dogs to birds to reptiles and everything in between. I additionally have a degree in companion animal sciences from the University of Illinois. My experience includes service dog training, puppy training, behavioral modification, and administration of medical care. I love working with animals and am excited to get to know your pet!
Qualifications
Safety, trust & environment
My biggest priority when caring for an animal is to make their experience positive and without stress. Pets have routines, and sticking to that routine will make time away from their family much easier for them. I adapt my approach to each animal’s temperament and needs to keep them feeling comfortable and safe. I take pride in maintaining the safety of the environment by ensuring cleanliness in the home and preventing unsafe interactions with unfamiliar people or animals. A strength of mine is my experience with reading animals’ body language, and I utilize this skill to ensure your pet’s safety and comfort.
Ratings and reviews
We love Tyra! She is so good at handling my dogs and gives very thorough feedback about her visits.
Great communication, great with my cat!
Tyra is great! Excellent with our two dogs. Very punctual, very responsive.
Tyra was great! Arrives on time and gave Rose a great walk
Tyra is the absolute best. This walk was during a heat wave and she made sure my dog got exercise but didn’t get overheated.
Tyra is excellent. Arrived on time despite the early hour, asked great questions, was able to handle my enthusiastic, large boy. Highly recommend
