Highlights
Pet care experience
Your dog is family.
I bring my entire background from peak performance coaching, freediving instruction, and being a dedicated dog owner (of two dogs since age 12) to dog care. As a dive instructor, safety is my number one priority, and I'm an expert in providing a sense of calm and security even in the most stressful situations. This means I'll make sure your dog feels calm and safe in any situation. As a coach, relationships are my primary focus. One of the most fulfilling aspects of my work as a sitter is making sure you feel connected, covered, and stress-free, whether you're on a dream vacation, attending to important family matters, or anything in between. As a dog lover, I'm a natural at creating joyful moments with your pup and skilled at capturing these through photography, keeping you connected and reassured that your dog is having a great time. Trust me to provide a safe, loving environment where your dog feels cherished and respected, just like at home. After all, your dog is family.

Ratings and reviews
Dylan is incredible. We had to book him at the last moment, and he was kind, responsive, and very accommodating. He took such wonderful care of our dog, Smokey, and went above and beyond by taking him outdoors and even to the beach. Smokey had such a great experience and came back happy and well cared for. We are so thankful for Dylan’s care and would highly recommend him to anyone looking for a reliable, thoughtful, and caring dog sitter.
Dylan has been wonderful with Smokey. This was our third time leaving Smokey in his care, and once again, he exceeded all expectations. He kept Smokey at his home and treated him like his own, which gave us complete peace of mind while we were away. What really stood out was the consistent updates—Dylan shared photos and videos throughout the five days, so we always knew Smokey was happy, comfortable, and well cared for. It’s clear he loves dogs and pays attention to their needs. We couldn’t ask for a better sitter and feel very fortunate to have found him. Highly recommend Dylan to anyone looking for someone trustworthy, caring, and reliable.
Dylan is awesome! He takes such good care of Lily and loves her like we do. And Lily can't run to Dylan fast enough when we take her over for a stay.
Dylan provides awesome care and attention for our dog while we are gone. We are so thankful for his great efforts.
Dylan and Aurora are the best! It's a relief to be able to leave town and know Lily is happy and well cared for. Lily loves her "second home".
Lily has stayed with Dylan multiple times because we're confident that she is always loved and well taken care of. She can't get out of our car fast enough when we drop her off at Dylan's for a stay. Dylan is quick to respond to texts and regularly sends photographs of Lily.

Schedule
With my flexible part-time schedule, I have tons of time to spend with your pets. I love making them a part of my daily routine. Your pet will have a buddy in me, keeping them happy, entertained, and rarely left alone. My style is all about being there and giving them the attention they crave. Let’s make sure your pet has a blast while you’re away!

Safety, trust & environment
Dogs are emotional and intelligent beings, just like us, which is why building trust, a sense of safety, and fulfilling their needs are my top priorities. I love taking dogs on adventures that suit their breed and personality. High-energy dogs will enjoy activities that match their spirit, while I'm just as good at providing calm, nurturing care for less active pets. From safe neighborhood walks to fun times at the park, I make sure there's a perfect balance of physical exercise and mental stimulation.
A typical day
I woke up to birds singing. These new humans my favorite humans left me with were still asleep, so I tiptoed around. But as soon as they stirred, I couldn't contain my excitement! I wagged my tail furiously, ready to start our day. We began with breakfast, then headed out for a walk around the neighborhood, sniffing all the interesting scents. After our walk, it was straight to the park where I chased my favorite ball and ran through the grass, bursting with energy. In the afternoon, I curled up near my sitter's feet in the office while they took video calls. To me, it looked like tiny humans were trapped in the box—sometimes they waved at me, and I wagged my tail to say hello. I wasn’t sure what they talked about, but it must have been important because my sitter nodded a lot. Later, we played games in the living room—tug-of-war, fetch, or just running around. Sometimes, he made me wait while he hid treats around the house. Then, he let me sniff them out. I took my time to let him think he was good at hiding. I missed my regular humans, but my new human and his female companion seemed pretty alright. As the day wound down, we took one last walk, and I made some friendly new human and doggie friends. Then, it was dinner time and a snuggle on the couch while we watched TV. I rested my head on their lap, thinking, "I like these two.." Finally, it was bedtime. I curled up in my bed, dreaming of another fun-filled day with my new humans. I couldn't wait to see what adventures tomorrow would bring!
