Availability

I work a flexible remote job and can mobile in short notice. I care for my dog, so if house sitting will need to make occasional trips home to attend to him (dont worry my roommate keeps him company when I'm out). I am available on weekends and after 5pm week days for walks, and can house sit any day of the week as long as I can connect to wifi.

Safety, trust & environment

I have an aging dog pal and we have been through a lot of experiences together. He didnt have the best health when I adopted him, so I had to keep with him on a strict diet and medication schedule. I treat both my clients house and four-pawed friends with the same gentle care that I show Jaxson, my dog.

Information Dylan P. would like to know about your pet

Let me know about dietary needs, feeding schedule, tricks already known, behavior issues to be aware of, health issues, favorite hiding spots, and beloved toys.

A typical day

Doggos love walking around their local neighborhood to share their scents with the other furry creatures. We will enjoy walks within the local neighborhood but also can enjoy more nature focused walks in city and state parks in the area as well. Dogs will get lots of belly rubs, time for tug of war, and educational games when we play together. I typically use auditory rewards and petting to encourage good behavior and engagement rather than treats, but can also work with food as a reward. Sometimes a car ride is all a doggo needs to be happy, so they are welcome to jump in my back seat and cruise with the windows down (with safety first, always)

Pet pal for when youre in a pickle

Pet care experience

I'm a country boy originally from TX. I've worked with and around animals for my whole life. I have over two decades of pet walking and pet sitting experience (shoot, I'll even water your plants!) When pet sitting I make sure to respect all the rules my animal pal's human tells me about. I encourage educational play and can handle high-energy animals just as well as the couch potato pets. I ensure feeding schedules and strict diets are on-paw (on point lol). On walks, I encourage good leash behavior and can work on reducing unwanted behaviors, like pulling, and leash aggression. I am prepared for emergency situations as well. Prevention is key, but sometimes accidents happen and my connection with multiple vets in town can ensure prompt service. I love animals because just as each human has their own personality so does each furry friend. Im here to help you and your pet pals when you're in a pickle!

Dylan was an amazing dog and house sitter! We felt great going out of the country for a week knowing our dog and home were in his care. Came home to a clean house and happy pup :)

Dylan contacted us very quickly and was very professional and friendly throughout our contact with him. We highly recommend him and will not hesitate to contact him again, when we travel away from home.

Each sitter joining Rover needs to pass a background check. And by booking on Rover, you can get photo & message updates, 24/7 support, and reimbursement for eligible vet care.
