Dog’s Best Friend

My name is Byron and I think we can agree that dogs are the best and that your dog is probably the bestest. I work as a software engineer and I work from home so I am rarely gone from the house for more than a couple hours. Your dog’s happiness and well being is my responsibility and I take that very seriously. I will uphold this sacred duty by providing plenty of walks, treats and ear scratches. I’ve looked after 100+ dogs with Rover and it’s been an amazing experience. I’ve looked after all kinds of dogs from a Rhodesian Ridgeback, Pitbull (one of the best/sweetest dogs ever) to a Maltese. (My mom even made a scrap book of all the dogs I’ve looked after haha). My point is your dog is in good hands and I’ll provide plenty of pictures!

We left our dog with Byron for a week while we were on vacation. Great communication, super sweet with our dog, and went above and beyond by taking her on runs to match her high energy level. We felt completely at ease and would absolutely book again!

Byron is just wonderful! He took great care of our two dogs, a Labrador and a Malinois, and went out of his way to insure they had a good stay. He even took our malinois on his daily runs, and learned the French commands we use with both dogs! The bonus, daily pictures and comments that kept us smiling. Will definitely use Byron’s awesome service again and would recommend him warmly. Thank you Byron!

I work from home so I will rarely be gone for more than 4 hours, and I like to get out of the house several times a day for walks so its nice having a furry companion to join me.

Safety, trust & environment

I have been doing this for a long time so my house is pretty dog proof at this point. Your dog is welcome to follow me around, lounge on the couch, or bark at the front window for all of the passerby’s.

A typical day

I am very active so depending on your dogs activity levels, they will get as many walks as they need without overdoing it. Your dog's sleeping arrangement The dog is welcome to sleep where ever he/she chooses, they can sleep in the kennel, crash on the couch or sleep in my bed. I have no real preference. Time I'll spend with your dog.. Doggo will get a walk during the morning/lunch/night. As many pets and scratches that they require/deserve. May get an extra few treats here and there because they are on vacation too

No preferences. Just let me know what you think I might need to know about your dog. If your dog is anxious when you drop them off, it’s very helpful to do an earlier drop of during the day so that they have time to settle in before bed time.
