Highlights
Pet care experience
Love is more valuable than treats.
I’m DJ, and I appreciate you checking out my profile. I love dogs of all breeds and sizes and specialize in reward-based training and trust building during your pet’s stay. Here are some answers to some of my most frequently asked questions: 1. I keep up to 4 dogs at a time, unless they’re from the same household, in which case I can do more. If your dog is not dog-friendly, just let me know in advance so I can make sure my schedule is clear for them. 2. I don’t have children or roommates, so it will just be me, your dog and 2400sqft of freedom. 3. I do not allow dogs from separate households to interact if I am not physically present to observe them. 4. I have a fantastic relationship with a local 24 hour veterinary clinic and supplemental insurance in the unlikely case that an issue arises. 5. I’m home most of the day and love to give your pup free rein of the house so that they are as comfortable and safe as possible. I am very active and can keep up with the most hyper of pups and can relax with the most calm of seniors. I’m a 12 year active Marine Corps EOD Tech that now serves as a reservist and have experience as a dog handler and have been trained in and performed K9 Traumatic Injury Care and First Aid. I look forward to being your pets’ home away from home and I can’t wait to meet you!
Qualifications
Ratings and reviews
We had such a great experience with DJ watching Booker for nine days! As a dog mom, leaving Booker for that long can always make me a little nervous, but DJ gave me so much peace of mind. He sent us tons of adorable pictures and updates throughout our trip, and Booker genuinely looked like he was having the best time. I also loved that DJ had a few other dogs coming and going during his stay, so Booker had playmates and plenty of social time, which meant so much to me knowing he wasn’t just being taken care of, but was actually having fun while we were gone. Booker was also dealing with some allergies before we left, and DJ made sure he received all of his medications and was well taken care of. He even gave Booker a bath before we picked him up, which was SO thoughtful and such a nice surprise after being away for nine days! We came home to a happy, clean, well-loved Booker, and we’re so grateful for how well DJ took care of our boy. We would absolutely trust him with Booker again and highly recommend him!
Dj and family were so good with the dogs. I felt comfortable and at ease knowing the dogs were somewhere safe. They were so exhausted when we got home. They played a lot at DJs. Thank you!
Just absolutely the best! Let me book same day, responded to my request within maybe 5 min. Good neighborhood, and good personality, it felt like a safe decision. He was always quick to respond to messages and gave a great review of how her visit went at pickup. Very grateful for his help, highly recommend!!
DJ was great and even helped Duke learn a little bit about being around other dogs!
DJ- it’s amazing with my little gir Roxy 🐶. I highly recommend him.
Dj took great care of Mabel, she seemed to have a blast during her week a way!

Schedule
I am a Student. Puppy sitting helps make that possible, and also allows me plenty of time at home to take care of your pups while you’re away. I’m up by 5am and winding down by 8pm and have plenty of time to ensure your hound is engaged if they want to be, and no worries, I’ll stay up for late pick ups. 🙂

Home characteristics
Safety, trust & environment
I have a fenced back yard and don’t necessarily believe in crates when I’m home. My home is puppy proof and I no longer have pets of my own that may cause conflict. Consider my place Puppy Summer Camp!
