Pet care experience

Trained my dog AND cat!

My name is Dylan. I'm 36 and work as a project manager for a health system. I have a wonderful golden retriever named Boba. He's very well-trained with all sorts of tricks and commands - some of which I taught my cat, Korra, as well. The same patience and compassion I showed my pets during training will be shared with yours too.

Our dogs had some separation anxiety the first couple of nights, but Dylan was incredibly understanding and reassuring. We really appreciated the regular updates and communication during our trip, and it was a relief to hear they eventually settled in. We would absolutely recommend Dylan to anyone looking for a reliable and caring sitter.

Dylan took excellent care of our lab! He is sacked out from having such a good time.

Schedule

I primarily work from home these days, so everyone gets plenty of attention throughout the day with lots of outside breaks! If I do leave the house, it's typically for quick grocery runs and the like.

Where your pet will stay

Home characteristics

Lives in a house
Has a fenced yard
Non-smoking household
Has 2 dogs, 1 cat
No children present
Dogs allowed on bed
Dogs allowed on furniture
Potty breaks every 2-4 hours

Safety, trust & environment

I have a fenced back yard with a decent amount of room for everyone to run around. My home is also monitored by a security system. The dogs have free reign of most of the house, and I don't mind them up on the furniture if you are okay with it too.

Pets

A typical day

Walks (when it's just a couple dogs), maybe some training, fetch/toy playtime. I go to the dog park semi-regularly as well. Most time is spent running around in the backyard.

Dogs over 1 year old
Dylan can host up to 3 pets per night
No breed preferences, but I try to avoid overly-aggressive dogs. If your dog gets into fights often, it may not be a good fit as I have a dog of my own. I also just can't accept dogs that aren't potty-trained. If your dog has severe potty training issues during the stay, I will unfortunately have to decline future stays.
