Information Dylan S. would like to know about your pet

I have had no issues with a variety of dog breeds and various sizes. I am very perceptive to the needs of dogs and their body language. I find it helpful for owners to share their pets likes and dislikes as well as their overall temperament with children and other dogs. Additional information on their sleeping habits and nightly routine will also be helpful to ease their transition.

A typical day

Every few hours the dogs are taken outside to potty and are always suprivsed. We have plenty of kennels, dog beds, and toys - so typically no need to bring any with you.

Pet care experience

I work from home and the pups are rarely, if ever, left alone. My wife is typically here at the house if I have to run an errand. We follow a supervised induction protocol when introducing dogs with each other. In the event of personality conflicts with others, we have the ability to keep those dogs separated. Typically this only happens with younger high energy dogs and older low energy dogs. All dogs are also fed separately to prevent food aggression and to insure each dog eats their own food. As a standard we also send regular pictures and video of the dogs during their stay. Feel free to ask any additional questions.

Dylan and his wife provided top-notch care for my baby, keeping me updated with many photos and videos. I'm not sure who had a better time on vacation, me or my puppy. Thank you for taking such excellent care of her.

Dylan was fantastic to work with. He took great care of my dogs and was very flexible with drop off and pick up times. He has a big fenced yard and sent pictures and videos. Thank you Dylan!

Dylan is amazing!! We had been struggling to find an awesome dog sitter for years, and I can confidently say we have finally found one! Our pup was in his care for 4 nights, and we didn’t have one moment where we felt worried, anxious, or concerned that our dog wasn’t getting the affection, attention, companionship, or care that he needs. Dylan provided plenty of updates with photos, and was very quick to respond, which helped keep our peace of mind. Our dog definitely enjoyed his stay too, he looked so happy and comfortable in every photo, and at pickup. We plan to rebook with Dylan every time we need his services!!

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.
