Safety, trust & environment

Whether providing care in my home or yours, your pet's safety and comfort are my paramount concerns. In my home, dogs enjoy a secure, crate-free environment where I maintain constant, watchful supervision. I rigorously adhere to your pet's established routine, fostering a calm and positive atmosphere through consistent positive reinforcement. When caring for your pet in your residence, I operate with the utmost respect for your property, ensuring their comfort and well-being remain uninterrupted. My deep understanding of canine body language underpins every interaction, building trust through clear and gentle communication. My aim is always to provide a stress-free, reassuring experience, tailored to your dog's individual needs and familiar surroundings.

Information Tyson G. would like to know about your pet

* Allergies & Dietary Needs: Please inform me of any food allergies (even minor sensitivities), environmental allergies, or specific dietary requirements your dog has. This ensures their meals and environment are always safe. * Walking & Heeling Style: Let me know which side your dog typically walks or heels on (e.g., right side for mobility assistance). This helps me maintain consistency and comfort during our walks. * Known Commands & Cues: What verbal or hand signals does your dog respond to for basic commands (sit, stay, come, heel)? * Temperament & Quirks: Any unique behaviors, anxieties, specific likes or dislikes (e.g., shy with strangers, loves fetch but not tug, afraid of vacuums), or specific routines that bring them comfort. * Medication Needs: If your dog requires any medication, please provide clear instructions and dosage. Providing this information helps me quickly build trust with your dog and seamlessly integrate into their established routine, ensuring their stay is as stress-free and joyful as possible!

A typical day

Mornings begin bright and early with a refreshing potty break in our secure yard. Then, it's time for a custom-prepared breakfast – always mindful of any allergies or dietary needs. Right after, I settle into my coding, with your dog comfortably settled nearby. Throughout the day, while I'm focused on my work, your dog is never alone. I take frequent breaks (every 2-4 hours) for additional potty outings, quick play sessions, and engaging mind games right here at home. This provides continuous presence, interaction, and maintains a reassuring routine. Afternoons often feature a longer, more focused training walk, where we practice skills and explore our Sugar House neighborhood, ensuring both physical and mental stimulation. Evenings are for unwinding, with dinner, quiet companionship, and plenty of cuddle time. The day always ends with a final potty break, ensuring a comfortable night's sleep. Every moment is approached with positive reinforcement, guided by my understanding of canine body language to ensure a stress-free and joyful experience. For an extra touch of pampering, I also offer a refreshing bath at my professional dog wash station before pick-up!

Pet care experience

Live at SUGARMONT? or in the Sugar House area and looking for someone who really gets dogs? I work from home as a developer living at Sugarmont with a flexible schedule, so your pup will get my full attention all day. I use positive reinforcement and my understanding of dog body language to help them feel confident and safe. My services include engaging activities like training walks and mind games, and I'm happy to manage any special needs, like allergies. I specialize in caring for dogs of all ages—from playful puppies to calm seniors. I’ve worked with blind dogs, high energy, anxious, aggressive dog as well as Service Dogs, ESAs and highly trained dogs. I can provide care with either loose instructions or highly individualized instruction.

My dogs had a great time with Tyson! Lots of pictures sent and thorough updates on my guys, while we were away for the weekend. I would highly recommend Tyson to another family for your pet sitting needs.

Tyson was AWESOME! Would highly recommend booking with him. My dog takes a while to warm up to new people and Tyson was incredible patient with my dog!

Tyson treats our old blind pup with so much love and compassion. He is flexible, quick to respond and willing to do what my dog needs on the days my dog just doesn’t feel like walking in the rain. Thanks again Tyson! We feel so much more at ease while traveling, knowing Louie has you to look after him.
