Safety, trust & environment

As I pet owner with my own idiosyncrasies about the care of my animal, I will follow whatever your instructions entail. Our dog can be reactive with other dogs, so I am well practiced at seeing and avoiding potential confrontations, if your dog is similar. I am unfortunately unable to provide care in my own home due to my dog's reactivity. However, I am excited to provide drop-in and walking services for your dog.

Information Dylan R. would like to know about your pet

Let me know ahead of time if your pet has any special needs or behaviors that I will need to account for. Let me know if there is special equipment to be used during the drop-in/walk. If your dog has certain tricks I'd love to know. If you'd like me to bring treats on the walk I will need to know where in your home to acquire them.

A typical day

Walks are typically 25-30 minutes, unless an extended walk is requested. Obviously this is weather dependent, and if a walk is cut short due to weather (typically heavy rain/storm or excessive heat), I will play with your dog in the home to supplement the time.

Pet care experience

I grew up on a farm caring for dogs, cats, and horses, and have done various forms of professional pet-care over the years. I have a 8 y.o. dog of my own (Maverick) that I've had since he was 8 weeks old. He, unfortunately, has started to enjoy the presence of other dogs less in his older age, so I do not offer boarding or day care. However, I thoroughly enjoy walks (Mav gets at least 2 a day) and would love to take your pet on a walk or jog. I am also available for drop-ins or house sitting.

Dylan is phenomenal with animals of all kinds! Dylan has always had pets of his own including dogs, cats, and horses, and also has experience dog walking and with overnight pet care. He is kind, patient, and attentive, and will reliably and lovingly handle all of your pet's needs.
