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.

Dylan, thank you so much for helping with Nahla’s boarding! I truly appreciate your kindness and time. Knowing she was in good hands was such a relief.

No worries when we left our dogs with Dylan. Enjoyed our time away, as knew our dogs were in good hands. Thanks Dylan.

Dylan did a great job with Chief! He sent me pictures, informed me of his friends and who he played with! I would definitely recommend Dylan

It’s always scary to leave your dog with someone new, but I felt at ease before we ever pulled out of the drive. My 11-mo-old bernedoodle came home calm and happy and worn out from playing. So thankful we found our sitter on the first try. We will be back.

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

Safety, trust & environment

I have a large fenced backyard and have experience with animal care. The dogs will get a variety of indoor and outdoor supervised socialization and play. Dog walks can also be provided at no addition cost. To ensure a low stress transition owners are welcome to set up a meet and greet prior to booking. All dogs will be introductions are done outside in the backyard first on leash while behavior is being assessed before taken off leash.

Pets

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.

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.
