Enrichment with a doggy friend
Pet care experience
I'm a full-time student with a service dog in training, a young Border Collie named Figgy, and together we're looking to help other dogs live full, balanced lives. Figgy and I like to go on very long walks, so your dog will enjoy seeing the world with another friend and will come home ready for a long nap! I grew up walking and taking care of my neighbor's dogs while they travelled and walking dogs for local shelters, so I have lots of experience with pet walking and care. I'm currently training Figgy to be my service dog with the help of a local group, so I'm around dogs and dog behaviorists all the time! Figgy came from a shelter, and needed a lot of time and work to get her where she is now. I've witnessed firsthand through Figgy and the shelter dogs I've worked with how calm, confident, patient energy can make a difference in a dog's life. My goal is to spread that to as many dogs and their owners as I can!
Reviews
Dylan is a trustworthy and responsible worker. She loves dogs and has several years experience owning, caring for and even training them. She is a dog whisperer. Your pups will be well served by her as a dog walker, care giver.
Dylan has grown up caring for dogs, training dogs and now is the proud owner and trainer of her own dog. She is so committed to making life better for dogs and their humans and has aspirations of becoming a dog trainer in the future. Dylan has walked and cared for our two dogs with great love, kindness and responsibility. Dylan is generous, compassionate and such an animal lover. Dylan is also very good at leading dogs in such a way that she inspires their trust and obedience. She would make a great addition to your dog walking team.

Information Dylan K. would like to know about your pet
I have no breed preferences, but I would like to know your dog's history with other dogs. How has the dog behaved in social situations in the past? Does your dog easily get along with others? Is the dog possessive over anything (toys, food, etc.)? Since I have a dog in my home, I will need to figure out the best way to introduce the two based on your dog's needs.
A typical day
A dog who stays with me will enjoy frequent long walks in Forest Park - right behind my home - and long fetch sessions at a field in my neighborhood. I also love hiking, and will of course bring the dogs along!
