Jim & Dean hit it off from the beginning. He likes showing Dean his favorite walks around the neighborhood, and looks forward every afternoon to seeing & walking with Dean.

House Sitting • Jan 11, 2023

This was my first experience using a pet sitter I didn’t know personally. Dean made me feel very at ease leaving Dunk in his care. He texted me during the stay and sent the best pictures. And in addition he cleaned up the house before he left! Definitely someone to be recommended.

Pets

A typical day

I give the dogs in my life high amounts of pets and attention, I love to see them explore and ‘claim their territory,’ safely! I always adapt to your dogs need wether or not they are the type to run around at the local field or peacefully stroll by the water. When pet sitting, my beautifully remodeled and pet proof home is your dog's vacation spot! You'll find us hanging out in the fenced-in backyard or on the couch watching TV together!
