Highlights
Pet care experience
Work-from-Home Pet Sitter
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 special care, I’ll always discuss any rate adjustments with you in advance before confirming the booking!
Cat care experience
Dwayne also cares for cats. Learn about their cat-specific care experience.
Qualifications
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!
Ratings and reviews
Dwayne was excellent, took care of a complex set of pets and sent daily updates. Very communicative and reliable! Would 100% hire again.
Dwayne and Ashna took very good care of our mellow cat Bobby and our home for 8 full days (day and night). Bobby cat's priorities in life are frequent meals, snacks, supervised patio time, and attention... in that order. Dwayne and Ashna took care of Bobby cat following his usual schedule that kept him very content. They also helped us with bringing in many packages, watering our tree,managing the trash and recycling bins on pickup day, and refreshed the hummingbird feeder. Our return flight was delayed due to weather, Dwayne and Ashna were very responsive and communicative in case they needed to extend their stay. Fortunately our flight managed to take off and we returned home to a very relaxed and content Bobby cat. The home was tidy and clean, sheets and towels washed, floors vacuumed.
Very pleased to have Dwayne sit for our dogs. The initial meet and greet with our two dogs revealed that Dwayne had experience with fearful animals and how to manage them. His patience and knowledge are appreciated and we will definitely book him again.
Our regular rover “retired” and we’re so happy to have found Dwayne! He is fast to communicate, sends cute photos and updates, and our pup is exhausted after he left so I know they had lots of play time. He left the house spotless and we look forward to having him come back!
Dwayne was terrific; prompt, my pooches loved him immediately and left my home neat & clean. I intend to request him again in the future. Thank you Dwayne!
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.
