If I could give 10 stars, I would. Our experience with summer was truly amazing! She really took the time to understand our needs. We just took on a rescue puppy a little over a week ago that’s a pit mix. She’s never been domesticated and had a lot of notes for care. We also have a high energy German shepherd who has a few notes as well. We did not feel comfortable boarding them / her as she’s so new to a home we didn’t want that to be a stressful experience for her. Summer came to do a meet and greet and they couldn’t have been more ready to play with her! She took time to get to know their behaviors and adapted to each of them, giving us very thorough pupdates along the way. You can tell how much she truly cares about the dogs and really understands their behaviors & how to manage two different personalities of doggo. I’ve already raved to some groups about her services and would absolutely use her again! Thanks so much, Summer!!!

About: Dogs have always been a huge part of my life—I’ve grown up with them, and I’m now a proud dog dad of two. Over the years, I’ve become the go-to person for friends and family when they need someone they can trust to walk or care for their pups. Whether it’s a quick check-in or a full weekend of sitting, I treat every dog like they’re my own. I know how hard it can be to hand your dog over to someone else—that trust doesn’t come easy. That’s why I go out of my way to make sure your dog feels safe, loved, and comfortable, and that you feel confident knowing they’re in good hands. I’ll follow your routine as closely as possible, keep you updated, and make sure your pup gets the care and attention they’re used to at home. I’m available Tuesdays after work, as well as Fridays, Saturdays, and Sundays, and I can even run with dogs if requested! I work full-time during the week and stay pretty active, so I’ve built my pet care schedule around when I can give dogs my full attention. I’m available after 6 PM on Tuesdays, after 5 PM on Fridays, and fully open Saturdays and Sundays. Whether it’s an evening walk, weekend sitting, or just some extra playtime, I make sure every pup I care for gets quality time, attention, and plenty of love. I may also be available for late-night walks or drop-ins during the rest of the week, depending on the day—just reach out and I’ll do my best to accommodate! Availability during those times isn’t always consistent, but I’m happy to help when I can! I care for every dog like they’re my own. I’m a rule follower at heart, so any guidelines or routines you provide will be followed closely to make sure your pup feels safe, comfortable, and right at home. In my own apartment, there are two fenced-in dog parks and several great walking spots nearby—some of which are quiet and dog/person-free if your pup prefers a more peaceful walk. Whether I’m in my home or yours, I always aim to create a calm and relaxing environment, so your dog feels cared for and at ease while you’re away.

I can’t recommend Dylan highly enough for dog walking and pet sitting. He has a natural gift with animals—our two dogs absolutely adore him. He’s incredibly patient, attentive, and always playful, which makes every interaction with him a treat for them. I’ve seen firsthand how every dog lights up around him. Beyond just caring for our pets, he’s constantly helping out friends with their dogs too, whether it’s walks, sitting, or just being a dependable backup. If you’re looking for someone who will love and care for your dog like it’s their own, Dylan is your guy.
