Love is more valuable than treats.
Pet care experience
After the passing of my 13 year old pup, I feel it’s finally time to open my home and heart to pets who need a temporary place to relax while their family is away. I specialize in reward-based obedience training and off-leash walks, but can read a hound to evaluate if they’re ready. I don’t mind sitting on the couch and watching tv with a dog, but totally respect boundaries set by parents in the in-house conduct of their hound. I’m 6’3” about 250lbs so any temperament is cool with me.
Reviews
Of course Dj P. is a 5 Star Rover sitter! His service is exemplary across every field of dog sitting. Our Bo was rather hesitant to get back into our truck. Seems like she would rather stay with Dj. :) I think that tells the dogs half of the story!. I highly recommend Dj. You won't be sorry. His care for your pet is above and beyond. And this is from someone who has used Rover many, many times. Dj is Primo!
DJ was the best dog sitter ever! I thought Jax wouldn’t want to come back with us after spending time with DJ. We will definitely be trying to book with DJ for all of our dog sitting needs.
The worst part of leaving AZ is not having DJ! My girls absolutely love him and I can’t recommend him enough. DJ has the biggest heart and the pups know it!
Dj was an amazing host for our pups! He went above and beyond in all aspects making sure they were comfortable while encouraging their growth with unique and effective training approaches. He took different angles to find the best way to support our more anxious pup, and added new ways for both of them to experience a fun and exciting environment. Not only did he provide excellent care, but he had superb flexibility and accomodation for pick up and drop off times.

Safety, trust & environment
I have a fenced front and rear yard, but 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.

I work less than 3 minutes from my home, and often times I am permitted to stay home if needed. 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.
