Lots o' love and free-time 2 spare

Pet care experience

My pets--especially my dogs--- have always been the focal point of my life. Between training my own dogs and working with dogs at the local shelter, I've developed a deep respect for the relationship between dogs and humans. If you're looking for an experienced and passionate pet sitter, who will care for your dogs just like you do, you've come to the right place. You and your dog will love me because I'm caring, fun and responsible. I pride myself on providing excellent customer service and will treat your dog just like my own. I am a student at the Catholic University of America. My schedule is very flexible, which allows me to be home all the time and free to play with your pup to their heart's content. I live with two dog-loving roommates, we all have dogs back home that we miss a ton since we're away at school. Any animal that comes to stay will be an honorary member of our household! When it comes to boarding, your dog will receive the royal treatment. City life for dogs usually means they don't have a ton of green space to run, but Brookland and CUA's campus are certainly an exception. Your dog will enjoy long walks, dog parks, and the love of a simple kid who grew up raising rescue dogs. When I'm not pet sitting, I love being out and enjoying nature, but that's not alway possible in the busy city. When I can't head for the hills, I check out the local museums or other attractions in the city. I'm always on my feet, this is an active city, and I enjoy exploring it. When your pet stays with me, we'll be sure to check out any dog friendly events (if they like being social of course). If you need a house sitter, you cant count on me to take the utmost care in your home. Additionally I will do my best to make your furry friend feel as though no one has even left the homestead. I have raised multiple rescue animals with separation anxiety and I understand the need of a pet to feel comfortable and loved in the absence of their owner. For walks, drop-ins, and all other services, my schedule is flexible and I can ensure that your dog will never be skimped on time, love, or thoroughness of care. Lastly, I am a firm believe that every pet is different and should be treated as such. If you have any special instructions or needs for your pet, please feel free to let me now! You are paying for a service that you AND your companion deserve to get the most out of, and I am here to provide that and more.

My dog had a great stay with Dylan and his friends. Dylan responded to my initial request and follow up questions promptly, and he was flexible about drop/off pick up times. Such a nice guy, and the pics looked like my pup was having a ball hanging out on the couch with the guys. I’d definitely ask Dylan to sit for me again.

Frida seemed to have a great time and Dylan was really flexible with pickup/dropoff. Worked out great!

The only reason I Dylan did not get 5 stars from me is because I would have liked more feedback on how my pup was doing. It was my first time using a Rover overnight stay, and as a new owner of a 5 month old puppy I was a little paranoid and Dylan never really updated me on if everything was okay with my pup throughout the day. I had to reach out and ask how my pup was doing. Other than not receiving any check ins/updates from Dylan throughout the day, I assume my pup had a good time. I didn't receive any pictures or updates to affirm that but my pup seemed like he had a good time with Dylan once I picked him up.

Information Dylan R. would like to know about your pet

Let me know if you have any special instructions or needs for your pet. I am happy to provide customized care for your pet to make them feel as comfortable as possible, while also putting your mind at ease knowing your best buddy is being responsibly cared for.

A typical day

I love to take walks around the Catholic University of America's beautiful campus, as well as around the blossoming neighborhood of Brookland. Your dog will also get plenty of time to run free in the nearby dog park as well as having completely free reign of our dog-friendly home. I guarantee your pup will be a happy (but tired) camper upon return.
