Pet care experience

We don’t deserve dogs

I have lived and cared for dogs and cats for over 10 years. Presently, I am a proud dad/owner of two agility-trained border collies. I am a caring, enthusiastic and animal-loving young professional (resident physician) who enjoys giving dogs what they need most - physical activity and mental stimulation.

Pets

Safety, trust & environment

With affection, attention, drive to understand one another, playfulness, and mutual respect. Having cared for and trained two border collies (both behaviorally and in agility), I understand most dogs’ needs and am open to even more. I am flexible in my approach to interacting with dogs and trust their owners/parents to let me know what they feel is best. I like to play multiple games for mental and physical stimulation but also following up with downtime to ease transitions.

Dylan is an incredibly caring and maintains a high level of respect. He believes in a high attention to detail and caring for animals as if they were their own. Dylan has cared for my dog regularly and I never worry when he is watching her.

Schedule

My home base is Rochester, NY, although I am a resident physician with the University at Buffalo; so, I am either commuting between Rochester and Buffalo or staying at my second residence in Buffalo (when needed). I am open to caring for pets in the Rochester and Buffalo areas, as well as anywhere in between. My schedule changes approximately every two weeks. Not often are there opportunities for me to consistently help during the daytime on weekdays. I could only be available for drop ins or walks during the daytime on weekdays on a per diem basis. I can be most helpful for someone who works night shifts, as I would be able to help with your best friend either in the morning or evening.

Cats

Dylan can host up to 2 drop-ins per day
Ahead of time, it would be helpful to know exactly what you would like for your dog from me. As mentioned somewhere here in my profile, I’m a proud owner and parent of two border collies, and both of which I do agility training with. As of now, I only do agility competitions with one of them, but at some point, they both will be doing competitions with me. All of that to say, there are likely few dogs, if not nearly zero dogs, which I would be unable to appropriately meet the needs of in this setting. Granted, of course, there is only so much activity/mental stimulation which I can provide in such a short window of time. This Limited amount of time is largely why I would like to hear from you about what you think would be most meaningful and valuable for your dog during our time together. I am confident that I will meet your expectations, and I may exceed them. If you are willing/interested, I am also open offering some of my own insight into how to make the best use of this time together after I learn a bit more about you and your dog. However, I want to emphasize that I will never engage with your dog in a way that you request I don’t, nor would I do so in a way that deviates from your expectations. I want to be there for you and your dog as a resource and not to disrupt any ongoing stability.
