About Tyler

  • I grew up with four St Bernards in a small town in central Canada (Brandy, Barney, Kiko and Hermione). Having to walk dogs daily that weighed more than me taught me to respect big animals.
  • I work as a wildlife biologist on airports. Understanding wildlife and moving them away from planes to keep them safe.
  • I worked as a dog handler using a dog named Pilot to disperse birds at Vancouver International Airport. I have a lot of respect for training and the different tasks a dog can perform.
  • I have handled small birds for banding and birds as large and dangerous as Great Horned Owls. This was common work at one of the airports I worked at In Canada.
  • I own a cat (Genghis Khan) but am more of a dog person. I really like cats but I prefer how dogs like hanging out and cats tend to "treat you mean to keep you keen".
  • My full time job as a biologist is relatively flexible meaning I can spend more time with pets in the morning or afternoon before getting to my day job.
  • I know walks and time outside are what some dogs wait all day for. If they're the sort of dog that loves the exercise I'm happy to run around with them to tire them out. Likewise if they're small or old and just want some time out of the home I'm happy to go slow or carry them around for a bit.

    Tyler was fantastic looking after my two medium dogs while I went away. His communication was prompt and clear during the booking and lead up. My house was clean and tidy when I got home and all the animals were happy. That's what you want from a sitter!

    Tyler stayed for 3 nights and looked after my 2 fur babies. At the meet and greet he was very attentive and asked lots of great questions about the dogs and the house which showed me he was really thinking and paying attention to what I wanted from a sitter. His communication was fantastic and he kept me updated on how everything was going. He even stayed an extra night at late notice when I extended my holiday (after I had already left!). House was tidy and dogs very happy when I got back. Would definitely hire him again. Thanks Tyler!!
