Safety, trust & environment

I have a large fenced backyard and have experience with animal care. The dogs will spend a majority of their time indoors, but frequently have supervised outside play time in the backyard (weather permitting). Dog walks can also be provided at no addition cost. At night, I have a large kennel inside they can sleep in with blankets. Daily pictures and status updates can be sent as well if desired. Pets toys are welcome if you would like to bring your own. To ensure a low stress transition owners are welcome to set up a meet and greet prior to booking. All dogs will be introduced one at a time with any other animals and be able to take a private house tour.

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 never left outside alone. I have balls to play fetch and plenty of room to run around.

Pet care experience

I have taken care of chihuahua’s to Pitbulls and have had dogs since I was a child. I have boarded dogs and regularly do house visits to let dogs out to potty during the work week. I am experienced in understanding dog behavior and communication patterns.

Dylan was great! He explained his home setup and how he runs things and how he gives each dog the time they need to adjust to new surroundings! He sent pictures and kept us updated on our dog’s stay and accommodated us even when we picked up early! Definitely would recommend!

Dylan watched our two girls for the first time and it was a great experience. He was very responsive and kept us updated on how they were doing. Our elder dog adjusts slowly to new places and she was well taken care of and enjoyed her stay. Our large dog had a lot of fun playing with the others. Great outdoor space to let them run. Will for sure let our dogs stay with Dylan again!

Dylan is fantastic! He took excellent care of Moose and Ace. He is reliable, flexible, prompt, and communicative. He also sent frequent photo updates to put us at ease during our time away! Dylan is a true professional and we will absolutely book again! Highly recommend!
