Pet care experience

Large fenced yard!

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.

Thankful for Dylan and his services. My dog was treated as his own and got to meet other pup friends. 10/10 would recommend.

Dylan was absolutely incredible! We recently moved to the area, and this was not only our first time using Rover, but also our first time ever leaving our dogs with someone they didn’t know. Naturally, we were a little nervous, but Dylan immediately put our minds at ease. He was incredibly reassuring, accommodating, and so easy to work with from start to finish! Throughout their stay, Dylan sent us plenty of photo and video updates of our dogs running around, playing, and having the best time with the other dogs. It was so comforting to see them happy and enjoying themselves! What surprised me the most was seeing one of our dogs, who is typically very territorial around larger dogs, running around and playing with them like they were the best of friends! I honestly couldn’t believe it, and it made me so happy to see him feeling that comfortable. We will definitely be using him again!

Dylan was fantastic with communicating with us-he responded very quickly! The dogs had room to run and play with other dogs which was wonderful. We felt our dogs were well taken care of and we didn’t have to worry about them when we left them there!! I would recommend Dylan to anyone! We appreciated the care he gave our dogs!!!

Dylan was absolutely amazing with my puppy. This was my first time using Rover and he was incredibly helpful with guiding me through the process. He sent me pictures and updates of Baby throughout the day. She was a very happy dog when I picked her up!

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.

Dylan can host up to 6 pets per night
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.
