Safety, trust & environment

Safety, trust and the best pet care is a first priority! Hence, I always maintain full transparency and disclosure in all our interactions with clients. During walks, I stay alert to other dogs, people, and potential hazards to ensure your pet stays safe and comfortable. I also handle household upkeep like collecting mail and packages, managing trash day, watering houseplants and monitoring security to keep your home secure while you are away!

Information Dwayne D. would like to know about your pet

I’d love to know your pet’s daily routine so I can keep them happy, comfortable, and stress-free while you’re away. Please also share any special needs, allergies, medical requirements, or behavioral traits like separation anxiety, reactivity, or unique quirks. This helps me ensure I’m the right fit and can provide the best care possible for your pet.

A typical day

A typical day revolves around your pet’s needs, based on the schedule and instructions you provide. I’m always available for walks, cuddles, playtime, and anything else your pet might want or need to feel happy and secure.

Work-from-Home Pet Sitter

Pet care experience

I love dogs and cats alike and treat them all as my own fur babies when I look after them! I work remotely from home offering freelance IT services and I am home all day and of course overnight to give your pets lots of love! Your pets will rarely be alone and never for more than a few hours. I am married so my wife, Ashna, will sometimes visit or accompany me on the housesitting gigs, whenever her schedule allows. She is also an experienced pet sitter and your pets will definitely benefit from having her around as well -- double the love! But I will discuss this with you beforehand if/when needed! STANDARD RATES My standard rates apply to standard care. For pets requiring additional time, attention, or specialized care, I’ll always discuss any rate adjustments with you in advance before confirming the booking! MEET & GREET Depending on your location, there may be a small fee for meet and greets.

Dwayne did an excellent job, both minding the house and taking care of our pet. Our dog is blind and requires some extra attention and Dwayne did well. I would definitely use Dwayne in the future.

I highly, highly recommend Dwayne and Ashna for any pet-sitting needs! This was our first time using Rover in general for our boys and it was an eleven day trip out of the country, so my husband and I were very nervous given previous horror stories we've heard about friends' Rover experiences. Also given that our boys (large mutts) are slightly reactive and high maintenance. Dwayne and Ashna were fantastic - great communication about our sons and any house issues/questions, respectful, and left our home in perfect condition. We've already re-booked them for our next trip and likely only to book anyone different if they're unavailable. We're very happy to have found sitters that our boys love and provide exceptional service :)
