Pet care is an important part of my daily routine. I work full-time during the week, but I prioritize quality care before and after work and throughout the weekends. Dogs in my care receive plenty of exercise, potty breaks, playtime, enrichment, and one-on-one attention. I strive to keep their routine as consistent as possible while providing a safe, comfortable environment. Dogs staying in my home should be comfortable being left alone during a standard weekday work schedule.

Safety, trust & environment

I focus on making pets feel safe, comfortable, and stress-free by maintaining their routine and providing attentive, personalized care. Whether a pet is staying in my home or I’m caring for them in yours, I follow all care instructions closely, including feeding schedules, medications, exercise, and any special preferences. My home is clean, pet-friendly, and structured to help dogs settle in comfortably. I provide regular updates with photos and videos so you can feel confident and connected throughout your pet’s stay. For everyone’s safety, dogs staying in my home should be friendly with other dogs or comfortable with slow, supervised introductions.

Information Tyra J. would like to know about your pet

Before caring for a pet, I like to learn about their routine, personality, and individual needs so I can provide the best possible experience. Helpful information includes: * Feeding schedule * Exercise needs * Medications or allergies * Favorite toys, treats, and comfort routines * Behavior around other dogs, visitors, and new environments * Leash manners, anxieties, or any behaviors I should know about The more I know ahead of time, the easier it is to help your pet feel relaxed, secure, and at home.

A typical day

Every pet’s day is tailored to their personality and energy level. Mornings and evenings include walks, potty breaks, playtime, enrichment, and plenty of one-on-one attention. For active dogs, I enjoy taking walks at nearby parks, including Sharon Woods Metro Park, when appropriate and with owner approval. Dogs who enjoy socializing also have opportunities to interact with my resident dogs in a supervised environment. For dogs who prefer a quieter pace, I provide a calm environment with companionship, relaxation, and cuddles. My goal is for every pet to feel safe, comfortable, and part of the family while they’re here.

Pet care experience

Hi, I’m Tyra! I provide a safe, structured, and loving home where dogs are treated like family. My goal is to make every pet feel comfortable, secure, and cared for while their owners are away. I share my home with my friendly Goldendoodle, Onyx, and my Yorkie, Ava, which gives me daily experience caring for dogs with different personalities, sizes, and energy levels. I pay close attention to each dog’s body language, routine, and individual needs so they can settle in comfortably and enjoy their stay. In my home, dogs receive: • A safe, clean, pet-friendly environment • Supervised play and companionship • Plenty of potty breaks and exercise • Enrichment activities and one-on-one attention • Regular photo and video updates for peace of mind I work full-time during the week, so boarding dogs should be comfortable being home during a standard workday on weekdays. Before and after work, evenings, and weekends are dedicated to walks, playtime, and quality time with the dogs in my care. For everyone’s safety, dogs staying with me should be friendly with other dogs or comfortable with slow, supervised introductions. My goal is for every dog to leave my home happy, relaxed, and excited to come back!

Tyra took great care of Rocky! She was always responsive, kept me updated throughout his stay, and regularly sent photos and videos, which gave me a lot of peace of mind. Rocky had a great time playing with her dogs and came home happy and relaxed. It was clear that he was well cared for and got plenty of attention. I would definitely book with Tyra again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable and caring dog sitter!
