Safety, trust & environment

I’m very amenable to any special requests you have for your dog’s care. Just let me know! I also know the neighborhoods of north Columbus very well, so I can find the best sidewalks and parks to hang out with your pet. I strongly prefer a quick, free meeting with a prospective owner and their pets, so everyone is comfortable before beginning a new booking.

Information Dylan A. would like to know about your pet

Please let me know any special needs your dog may have - including medication, fears, triggers, allergies or places to avoid on a walk. The location of their leash is always helpful too!

A typical day

I’ll tailor our time together to your dog’s energy level, timidity and personality. I’m happy to vigorously play tug of war for an hour, just as I am to calmly sit and love your elderly dog.

Pet care experience

Hi! I’ve been working as an independent dog walker since 2018 in Columbus, with hundreds of different dogs. I am American Red Cross certified in Pet First Aid (most recent cert. October 2025). I joined Rover a few years ago. I take a lot of pride in the trust my regular clients place in me, as well as their consistent enjoyment of my written accounts of the visits. I grew up in a large family with all sizes of dogs and am not phased by your high energy runner-dog pulling, nor inclement Ohio weather. I’ll take loving care of your dog and be attentive to any special care, gear, etc requests for them. I’m a full-time dog walker. Please note I am only available to visit your dog to provide walks or care - not boarding or sitting.

Dylan is has always taken great care of my dogs! I find it difficult to find people I trust and he was without a doubt the best fit and find! A friendly face that genuinely loves them and Therefore they love seeing him too. I couldn’t be happier having him care for them. You can relax and rest assured that you are in good hands when Dylan is there.

Dylan was an absolute gem for my first Rober experience. Lu loved him and was nice and tired when I came home.

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.
