🐾 Your Dog’s New Favorite Human

I’ve been caring for dogs for over 12 years, and I treat every pup like they’re part of my own family. Whether your dog loves long walks, playing fetch, sticking to a routine, or simply relaxing with company, I adapt to their personality and needs. My goal is simple: give you peace of mind while making sure your dog feels safe, loved, and genuinely excited to come back. You’ll receive regular photo updates, clear communication, and dependable care from someone who understands that pets aren’t just animals—they’re family. Clean home. Reliable care. Happy dogs. Happy humans.

I really can't put into words how amazing my experience with Demetrius was. He was a wonderful communicator and took such great care of my dog. I had a LOT of anxiety about boarding Gloria because it was the first time I'd ever left her with anyone other than family. She's a super easy, quiet, sweet, and lazy dog, but she has her quirks. She can be very shy and needs a special kind of patience and care, especially when it comes to potty time (she hates going outside!). Well, my shy girl immediately took to both Demetrius and his sweet dog, Sebastian! That says so much about the calm, warm, comforting feel of both of them and their home. He sent pictures every day, which really put my mind at ease, and I was able to truly disconnect and enjoy my vacation. When I picked her up, she was happy, smiley, and relaxed. In fact, she was tugging on the leash to go back inside! I can't thank him enough or recommend him more highly and can’t wait to book him again.

Demetrius was great with our dog. He sent updates and was very responsive. When his schedule changed, he was very accommodating with pick up. We would have him watch Argos again.

⭐️ Excellent Dog Sitter! This was my first time using a dog sitter, and Demetrius was absolutely amazing! He kept me updated every morning and throughout the day, which gave me so much peace of mind. He kept my girl busy, active, and doing things she normally wouldn’t get to do with me. I truly appreciate the love, patience, and care he gave her. My girl can definitely be a barker, but Demetrius was so patient and understanding with her. It was clear that he genuinely cared about making sure she was happy and comfortable. I would 100% use Demetrius again and highly recommend him to anyone looking for someone trustworthy and caring to watch their fur baby! 🐶❤️

Demetrius watched our dog Taz and quickly became one of his favorite people!!! We got updates throughout the day about how well they were doing together. It usually takes Taz a long time to warm up to people, leading us to consider Demetrius a dog whisperer!!! We are so grateful for him and look forward to bringing Taz back to stay with him and Sebastian again in the future! Highly recommend!

Demetrius was an absolute God send. I had to extend my trip and my usual sitter was unavailable. It’s extremely nerve racking to leave your pup with someone new especially if you’re not there to acclimate them. Demetrius made the transition so smooth and put my mind at ease. He gave multiple updates and sent pictures/videos. My dog had the time of his life w long walks, treats and cuddles. Thank you again Demetrius

Demetrius was GREAT with Teddy! This was Teddy's first Rover stay, And Demetrius was the perfect host for this situation. He kept me informed with stories and videos of Teddy's adventures! Teddy put in an average of 30,000 steps a day 🤣😮. He had so much fun, he'll probably be knocked out for the rest of the day. I think we found our Rover host!

Safety, trust & environment

My home features a fully fenced yard for safe outdoor play in a smoke-free environment. I care for every dog based on their individual routine, personality, and needs, whether they’re an energetic puppy or a laid-back senior. I’m comfortable administering oral medications, following crate-training routines, and maintaining the structure your dog is used to at home. I host only one family of pets at a time, allowing me to provide personalized attention without the stress of overcrowding. Dogs are left alone for no more than 1-2 hours a day.

Pets

A typical day

Because I work from home, your dog will enjoy companionship and supervision throughout the day rather than being left alone for long periods. We’ll start the morning with a potty break and playtime, followed by meals according to your dog’s routine. Throughout the day we’ll enjoy supervised outdoor time in my fully fenced yard, outdoor activities and plenty of walks and affection. I also provide photo and video updates so you can relax knowing your pup is happy, safe, and having fun.

Demetrius can host up to 5 pets per night
Please let me know about your dog’s daily routine, feeding schedule, medications, allergies, favorite toys, and any behaviors or anxieties I should be aware of. I appreciate knowing how your dog interacts with other dogs and people, whether they’re crate-trained, and any commands they know. My goal is to keep your pet’s routine as consistent as possible so they feel comfortable, secure, and right at home during their stay.
