Let’s set up a meet-and-greet so I can meet your pup and you can see how much fun we’ll have together! I like to start the day with a quick potty break followed by some playful yard time to get the wiggles out, then it’s straight to breakfast. During the day we’ll stroll around the neighborhood, and sniff out some new spots. By evening it’s all about winding down, cozy vibes, and a yummy dinner to wrap up a tail-wagging day!

🐾 Just jot down any special quirks or needs they’ve got—like allergies, hygiene, moods, or food preferences. And write down their feeding schedule with portions so I can keep everything right on track!
A typical day
I enjoy taking dogs for a walk and playing catch. Going for walks is a part of my daily schedule. Half of my yard is shaded during the day and we have air conditioning for when it gets very hot.

Pet care experience
I’ve been caring for animals throughout my whole life and using Rover since the middle of 2022. I don’t have any pets of my own and my home is quiet and peaceful. My genuine love for animals, experience with various breeds and special needs, beautifully fenced in yard by the water, and emphasis on love and patience collectively set me apart as a dog sitter who provides exceptional care and creates a loving environment for the dogs entrusted to me.
Reviews

We had an excellent experience with Dickson as a dog sitter for Pollux, our Briard, during an 11-day stay. From the start, Dickson’s calm and steady demeanor was a great fit for Pollux, helping him feel comfortable, safe, and well cared for. Beyond the regular responsibilities, Dickson went above and beyond by working with Pollux on a couple of dog commands and taking extra care with his grooming beyond the basic requirements. It was clear that he paid close attention to Pollux’s needs and made sure he stayed healthy, engaged, and happy throughout his stay. Dickson’s home is also very well suited for larger dogs, with an appropriate setup and a fenced garden that gave Pollux space to enjoy himself safely. We especially appreciated the regular updates, including pictures and videos of Pollux’s activities, which gave us peace of mind while we were away. Communication with Dickson was straightforward and thoughtful. He kept us informed, asked questions when needed, and made us feel like true partners in Pollux’s care. We are very grateful for the attention and dedication he showed, and we would confidently recommend Dickson to anyone looking for a reliable, caring, and capable dog sitter. We would not hesitate to book with Dickson again and highly recommend him to any family looking for someone trustworthy, attentive, and genuinely committed to their dog’s well-being.

Dickson was great with our pup! We received daily updates that included photos and video. Such a good experience that we have already rebooked.

Pluto was very content under Dickson’s care. He also enjoyed having pooch friends to play with..


Dickson was absolutely wonderful with Zeus and our puppy, Gaia. We received pictures and videos throughout out vacay and we did not worry about the doggies at all. The big back yard was wonderful for them to run around. We will definitely be using Dickson again.
