Experienced & flexible dog lover!
Pet care experience
Im new to Rover but I have been taking care of dogs for over a decade! I got my first dog (120 pound shepherd) when I was 7 and haven't lived without furry friends ever since. Animals became my best friend, furthering my affirmation for these loving creatures. I feel I have a unique connection to dogs as we gravitate towards each other! Whether it is walking your pup or coming by to care for your family pet, I love dogs! Not only do I love caring for my own, I have always shown the same affection towards other dogs. When I am over at someone’s house, the first thing I do is run to their pet if their pet hasn’t already come to me. I currently have a 5 year old female German shepherd who has Separation Anxiety & rarely leaves my side, so I am experienced in how to attend to dogs that need extra care. Additionally, I have taken care of puppies from the age of 8 weeks to senior dogs of over 10 years of age. I am experienced to accommodate dogs in any age group range! Im currently attending VCU & studying nursing to become a NICU nurse. Even though I am a college student, I am very flexible to fit almost any schedule since most of my study is done online. I will make sure to put your dog’s needs before anything else. I can provide endless fun, active playtimes as well as appropriate exercise for dogs of all sizes. I will make it my top priority to monitor and tend to your furry friend! I am available for walks anytime that fits best for you! Same goes for drop-in visits to replenish your precious baby with food/water/potty breaks. My experience includes house sitting for single or multiple-pet homes, taking animals to for walks, providing CPR/first aid, taking trips to the dog park, dropping in for feeding, watering, exercise, mental stimulation.
Reviews
Dylan provided excellent daycare for my 3 year old German Shepard and I look forward to placing my dog with her again. She took him to the dog park and seemed to keep him engaged for most of his stay. Highly recommend.
Dylan was great with Sully! My dog has separation anxiety and didn’t have any issues staying with her. I would highly recommend using her again in the future!
Dylan did a wonderful job with my German Shepherd Levon! She sent photos and kept me up to date. I would definitely recommend!
Dylan was so great with our two dogs! She accommodated for both of their energy levels (one is a senior pup and low energy and one is younger and very high energy), and she was flexible with pickup/dropoff. Both dogs were tired out but very happy when we picked them up after the weekend! We'll definitely book with her again in the future.

Skills
Safety, trust & environment
I have a fenced yard and space for dogs to play and be themselves. I have plenty of toys, bowls and treats but any from home are welcome!
Information Dylan H. would like to know about your pet
Is your pet friendly with people, strangers, children, other animals? Does your furry creature have any trauma or past experiences that has changed their behavior? Any special instructions that you would like me to pay attention to for your pet?
A typical day
I love engaging with pets through a series physical & mental activities. I can find the best walking trails, parks & playing spots. I can assure you that they will be busy and happy all day leaving no time for them to miss you. If you have a very active dog like my own, Im able to provide them as much exercise as needed. I have lots of toys such as ball throwers, ropes for tug of war, frisbees and more! I also know basic training we can work on if you have a puppy!
