    About Kyle

    Growing up in the country in Pennsylvania gave me tons of experience with animals from a very early age.  I later pursued a career in horseback riding and also have experience as a veterinary technician.  I have a strong passion for animals and have an uncanny ability to connect with all sorts of furry friends.  

    I started this blog while owning Get Pet, a dog walking and training business in Chicago, and I decided to continue using it as my way of sharing all the valuable insight I gained, and I also aim for it to provide you with fun anecdotes and helpful resources about dog-friendly housing, places and events.
