Highlights
Pet care experience
Spoiled doodle care!
Dogs have been a part of my life for as long as I can remember. Growing up, my family didn’t have a dog of our own, so I became the go-to dog sitter in my neighborhood. I would walk, play with, and care for other people’s pets whenever I had the chance. That early experience turned into a genuine passion for understanding dogs and making sure they feel comfortable, safe, and happy while their family was away. As soon as I had my own home, I adopted a puppy and fully committed to raising and training him with love and respect. I’ve trained him to walk off-leash, respond reliably to both vocal and hand signals, and comfortably travel on airplanes. Through this, I’ve gained hands-on experience with structured training, consistency, and reading dog behavior. I treat every dog like part of the family. My own dog gets multiple walks a day, regular playtime, and a lot of affection. I bring that same level of care to every dog I watch. I’m especially attentive to a dog’s energy levels, routines, and personality, making sure they get the right balance of exercise, structure, and affection. What sets me apart is a combination of experience, attention to detail, and genuine care. I’m comfortable with active dogs who need exercise and engagement, as well as reinforcing good habits and basic training. My goal is always to make your dog feel at home and give you peace of mind while you’re away.

Ratings and reviews
Dylan went above and beyond in his care for Butters. He sent photos everyday and provided updates which was great to see in our long vacation. No issues at all and our dog had a wonderful time playing in the fenced in backyard. Will 100% be using Dylan again in the future for dog sitting!
Jake had a great time with lots of opportunities to exceed and rest (important for an older dog). Communication was great and accommodations were nice.
Dylan was so great to our 4 month old golden retriever puppy! He was easy to work with and kept us well informed.
Dylan did a great job with my high energy, needy dog. Thank you so much!
Dylan was communicative, very nice personality. He is very in tune with dog emotions and cares for your dog’s comfort.
Dylan is the best!! He takes such great care of Tosca, giving her loads of playtime, walks and snuggles. (And Arlo is a great host and playmate for her too) Dylan really made me feel comfortable leaving Tosca, even with all her puppy needs. You can tell how much he cares for animals, and wants to makes sure that his dog visitors are happy. Thank you Dylan!

Schedule
I work from home full-time, so pet care naturally fits into my daily routine. I’m home throughout the day and available to meet your dog’s needs whether that’s regular walks, playtime, feeding, or just companionship. During work hours, I structure my day so dogs are never left unattended for long. If I’m in meetings, I have comfortable dog beds in my office so pups can relax nearby and still feel included and at ease. Outside of that, I build in time for walks, outdoor play, and engagement throughout the day.
Where your pet will stay
Home characteristics
Safety, trust & environment
I provide a safe, structured, and flexible environment tailored to each dog’s needs. At my home, I have a fully fenced yard for secure outdoor time, along with access to nearby parks for longer walks and exercise. I can also use long leads when appropriate to give dogs more freedom while still maintaining control and safety while playing at the park. I’m very attentive to each dog’s personality and comfort level. My own dog is an active doodle who requires a lot of exercise and stimulation, so I’m already in a routine of providing consistent activity, enrichment, and supervision. Visiting dogs can join in on walks and play if they enjoy social interaction, or I can provide more one-on-one attention if that’s what they’re used to. When caring for pets, whether in my home or a client’s, I prioritize maintaining their normal routine as much as possible. I pay close attention to behavior, energy levels, and any signs of stress to ensure they feel comfortable and secure. Cleanliness, supervision, and clear communication with owners are always top priorities so you can feel confident your dog is in good hands.
