Safety, trust & environment

Your Dog's Safe Haven: Peace of Mind Inside and Out Safety is my top priority. Here's what ensures your dog feels secure and comfortable during their stay: Secure Yard: Your pup will have plenty of space to run and play in our fully fenced-in yard. For added peace of mind, we have a separate, fenced section that allows for comfortable separation if needed. Cozy Crates: My dogs and yours both have access to comfortable crates for rest and relaxation. Clients are welcome to bring their dog's own crate, providing a familiar space for quiet time and a sense of security. Constant Supervision: Never a moment alone! Your dog will be supervised by me throughout their stay. Extra Layer of Security: For an additional layer of peace of mind, all dogs wear Fi GPS collars. These collars allow us to track their location in real-time, offering extra reassurance during walks and outdoor playtime. With these measures in place, you can relax knowing your dog is safe, happy, and enjoying their home away from home.

Pet care experience

More than just a dog sitter, I'm a dog lover. As an ACCS-KA Certified Behaviorist/Dog Trainer and Certified Professional Dog Sitter, I have the experience and qualifications to give your furry friend a safe, enriching, and enjoyable stay. I'm also an AKC Judge, an AKC Canine Good Citizen (CGC) Evaluator, an AKC Temperament Test (ATT) Evaluator, an AKC Trick Dog Evaluator, and an AKC Certified Instructor. With my additional certification as a Certified Dog First Aid Provider, I'm well-equipped to handle any situation. I'm also a proud member of the International Association of Canine Professionals, so you can trust I hold myself to the highest standards. Here at home, your dog will be welcomed as part of the family! I have two canine companions myself: a German Shepherd with an impressive list of titles showcasing his obedience and training (CGC, CGCA, CGCU, BH, TKN, TKI, FITB and ATT) and a friendly Border Collie mix. Both dogs are active and enjoy socializing with well-mannered companions. For added comfort and safety, we have a second fenced-in area that allows separation if needed. You can trust me to provide: Experienced, professional care: My extensive training background ensures a safe and enriching environment for your furry friend. Personalized attention: Every dog is unique, and I'll tailor my approach to their specific needs and temperament. Peace of mind: Knowing your dog is in capable hands with a fellow dog enthusiast lets you relax and enjoy your time away. Don't just leave your dog behind, give them a fun and enriching stay!

This was my first time using Rover and Dustin stood out amongst the other people on Rover. After getting our dog Noctu back we could tell he had a great time with Dustin and his dogs. He has a great space and great companions at his place and he provided pictures of our dog playing with his dogs in the yard Noctu was exhausted from all the playtime he got while being with Dustin. Whenever I’m in area and need someone to watch my dog I’ll go with Dustin everytime!
