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!

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!

Our dogs appeared to love DJ. DJ welcomed them and provided great pics and notes so we knew they were doing well.

Dj always seems to be available to watch my Eisberg. When we ask if he is available, he responds back very quickly. Dj is as happy to see Eisberg as Eisberg is to see Dj. Great sitter! Dj has a way with big dogs. Love the pictures and comments from Dj. I am forever a repeat customer. 🤩

DJ is the absolute best. My pup always has the best time and comes back super sleepy and happy.

Dj took such great care of both our dogs! It was our first time leaving them with anyone but family, and they clearly felt very comfortable! Very grateful for the great care they received and all the play time they got to have!

I felt really comfortable leaving my Yorkie with Dj while on vacation. He sent regular photos and updates. He was also super flexible with accommodations during my travel. I will definitely be booking with him again.

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. 🙂

0 to 15 lbs
16 to 40 lbs
41 to 100 lbs

Dj can host up to 3 drop-ins per day
Let me know ahead of time any special needs/diets your dog prefers. I am well versed in raw/limited kibble diets and portions. Most disabilities are not an issue.
Each sitter joining Rover needs to pass a background check. And by booking on Rover, you can get photo & message updates, 24/7 support, and reimbursement for eligible vet care.
