Very patient, friendly and loving ♡
Pet care experience
I've had the joy of sharing my life with furry companions for as long as I can remember. Over the years, I've lived in a variety of places including the UK, Ireland, the British and U.S. Virgin Islands, Canada, and beyond, and no matter where I’ve been, animals have always been a constant in my life. From city apartments to island homes, my four-legged friends have brought comfort, joy, and a sense of connection that transcends borders. To be completely honest, I often find myself preferring the company of animals over humans (no offense!). There's just something pure and grounding about their presence, the way they communicate without words, offer unconditional love, and live so completely in the moment. Throughout the years, I've spent a great deal of time caring for, training, and rescuing animals in need. My experience spans a wide range of species and personalities, from playful puppies and independent cats to more unique companions including, believe it or not, a wolf! Each one has taught me something valuable about empathy, patience, and the importance of trust. Whether it’s rehabilitating a nervous rescue, teaching basic obedience, or simply offering a warm lap and a kind word, I find true fulfillment in working with animals. It’s not just a hobby or a passion, it’s part of who I am. Caring for animals has shaped my worldview, enriched my life, and given me countless stories and memories that I’ll always treasure.
Reviews
Dylan is a gentle and kind person and this persona is especially true with his interactions with dogs and cats and pretty well every living thing. He even is passionate about saving the bees and protecting the birds. He is responsible and can 100% recommend Dylan as a loving pet caregiver.
Dylan has been absolutely wonderful with our two senior dogs! He’s incredibly attentive, playful, and truly understands their unique needs. He ensures they get a lot of love, are always fed on time, have fresh water, and never miss a dose of their medication. His kindness and responsiveness gives us us peace of mind. So grateful to have found someone like him to care for our pups.
I left my beloved Ruby dog in the care of Dylan for a month and I couldn't be more happy with the way my baby was taken into his household and family and treated like one of their own. Regular updates and daft photos of him and Rudy reassured me while I was away making my time apart from him so much easier. If I had a negative it would simply be that I was worried that Rudy had been so happy while I was gone he wouldn't want to come home. Obviously he did, but it made it a lot easier for both of us the next time I had to go away knowing how well cared for he was. Highly recommend!
My husband and I met Dylan in Cardiff through a friend, he's such a calm guy, always willing to help, he would walk and pop in on our pups while we were at work back in the day. He really made his own special relationship with our pets, including our grumpy old cat at the time, Steve. Steve liked to hide his poop, Dylan was very good at finding it. Even though Dylan moved on years ago, travelling the globe, we are all still great friends.

Skills
Safety, trust & environment
At our home, we’ve created a safe and welcoming environment for our dogs. We have a fully fenced-in yard where they can run, play, and explore freely. To make things even more fun and stimulating for them, we’ve installed a few clear plastic domes in the fence, like little windows, so they can peek out and watch the world go by. It’s a small touch, but they absolutely love it! We follow a consistent daily routine with set feeding times to ensure they stay healthy and well-balanced. Structure is important, but so is love, and there’s no shortage of that in our home. Cuddles, belly rubs, and one-on-one attention are part of our everyday life. We do everything we can to make sure our pups feel safe, happy, and deeply loved.
Information Dylan B. would like to know about your pet
When I’m looking after pets, I love making sure they have a great time doing what they enjoy most. For the more energetic pups, that usually means lots of walks, games like fetch, or some fun running around to burn off energy. For the chill ones, I’m all about cuddles, gentle play, and keeping their minds busy with puzzle toys or little training games. I always pay attention to what each pet likes and take things at their pace. Whether we’re playing or just hanging out, my goal is to make them feel safe, happy, and loved while they’re with me.
A typical day
When I’m watching pets, I make sure they have a fun and enriching time! Depending on their personality and energy level, activities might include going for walks or runs, playing fetch or tug-of-war, and exploring new scents during outdoor adventures. For more relaxed pets, I enjoy plenty of cuddle time, gentle belly rubs, and interactive play with toys to keep their minds stimulated.

Availability
I work from home part-time and run my own business, which gives me the flexibility to set my own schedule and maintain a healthy work-life balance. I'm not tied to a strict routine, which allows me to be fully present in both my professional and personal life and enjoy the freedom and flexibility that remote work brings. One of the biggest benefits of our lifestyle is the amount of quality time we get to spend with our two beloved pups. They’re an important part of our family, and being home throughout the day means we’re able to give them the attention, care, and companionship they deserve. Whether it's going for walks, playing in the yard, or just relaxing together, we truly value the close bond we’ve built with them.
