My name is Dylan and I am a professionally experienced, reliable, and attentive pet sitter! I am a graphic designer and writer with a flexible schedule who is delighted by pets of all kinds! I have been house sitting and caring for pets for five years and was employed by a premium in-home pet care company during college, so I am experienced in providing the best possible, most professional and friendly care for your furry pals while you're away. I adore caring for animals and feel that maintaining their routines while you are away is my most important task, while leaving your home at its absolute best for your return! I am looking for holiday dog sitting opportunities in New York City over Christmas and into New Years. Dates are flexible! I'm from Seattle and am looking to spend the holidays in NYC. I am also a freelance writer and have a strong community out there I am looking to visit, if I happen to book a great dog sitting opportunity. In the past I have worked for a highly professional, licensed and insured dog walking/sitting company in San Francisco for two years. Why I love dog sitting As an only child, I pleaded my parents to let me get a dog, a request they finally caved to when I turned seven. I enjoyed the rest of my childhood a new best friend, a spunky Westie that I named Sammy. When I got into high school, I began to pet sit in other people's homes to start making money for my college expenses, which led to me working for a premium in-home pet care service when I moved to the Bay area for school. I adore dogs of all sizes and am the go-to dog walker for the busy neighbors in my apartment building!
