Pet care experience
I've cared for pets my entire life - from 3 cats growing up, to currently owning 2 dogs. I've also walked dogs professionally and managed a doggy daycare center. I firmly believe pets are full-fledged members of the family and I treat them with the associated attention and care. It's my mission to provide the safest and most enjoyable place to leave your dog/dogs when you're in need of day care or boarding!
Reviews
We loved having Riley stay with Dylan! He was very thorough and Riley had a blast! He provided lots of exercise and kept us updated twice a day with pictures.
Extremely happy with Dylan watching my puppy! Bowser is a high energy puppy, and Dylan made sure that he was walked every day with plenty of potty breaks. He even brought my pup to the park! I left my pup with Dylan for 4 weeks, which seemed like such a long time, especially leaving him with someone from Rover. However, I was beyond pleased! My worries were taken away because I received daily pictures and updates. My pup was able to socialize and play with Dylan’s well-behaved dogs, which was a huge plus for me! Absolutely recommend Dylan to anyone who needs a pet sitter for their loved pup. 1000/10!
Dylan is fantastic! He’s responsive, positive, and truly cared for our dog, lots of updates and pictures! We just moved to paradise and we can already tell Dylan is going to be our go-to sitter! He’s super flexible too, thanks Dylan! Chuck is excited to see you again very very soon!
Dylan was so kind and easy to work with. My dog was relaxed and well cared for. It was a great experience.

Pick up and drop off times are between 8am-9am and 5pm-6pm. Dog Taxi pick up and drop off hours: 10:00am-11am and 3:00pm-4:00pm. Please inquire for prerequisites. Dog Taxi is NOT available for same day, first time clients. Must be provided by client: Dog food and treats Dog collar Dog leash Dog harness Daily activity included with your purchase: 15-20-minute session on manually powered doggy treadmill (unless client desires otherwise). Or a trip to the dog park. NOTE: The treadmill is a very tough workout as the dog has to propel their own weight as well as the treads. As a result, many dogs, including my own, often wish to get off before their 15-20-minute mark. Additionally, it's possible for some dogs to be afraid of the treadmill or not wish to use it for whatever reason. Some dogs may be too small to use the treadmill. 2-3 meals per day unless otherwise specified (food and treats must be provided by client as to avoid stomach upset) NOTE: If no food, or not enough food is provided, I will happily feed your dog what I feed my dogs, however I am not responsible for any digestive issues that may result (other than the clean-up or potential vet visit if they're still in my care, of course). Free access to a small, but spacious enough for rest and mild play patio with a porch potty if your doggo is interested in using it. 10-15-minute walks every 0-3 hours. Your dog will never be left alone for longer than 3 hours. Note: In the event of a potty accident, I do use dog diapers from that point going forward. Diapers are always freshly washed for your dog. Lots of petting, toys, and play! Note: Dogs enjoy unlimited water access, however, are cut off before bedtime, usually around 7pm-8pm. Individual dog crate with a chew resistant bed for sleeping. I have a large crate and an extra-large crate dedicated to clients' dogs. Both crates have dividers available to accommodate smaller dogs. A couple photo updates of your happy fur baby per day! If more frequent photos are desired, please don't hesitate to ask! Disclaimers: Flea/mange check is required at meet and greet. I reserve the right to turn your pup away in the event that fleas or other parasites are found. Additionally, though your dog doesn't need to be freshly bathed (I only bathe my own dogs a few times per year), I ask that they not be dropped off excessively dirty. This isn't just for my sake, but for the sake of all my clients. The complex I live in has thorns and tree sap in a number of areas the dogs are walked. While I have grown adept at avoiding these hazards, it is always a possibility that your dog gets a thorn stuck in their fur for which I will promptly remove it or tree sap on their legs or paws. The tree sap is more complicated to remove and in such an event you will likely get your dog back with at least some of it still in their fur. I emphasize that either of these events are extremely unlikely but given the possibility I feel it ought to be mentioned for the sake of complete transparency. One of my dogs (Naga) is a rescued German Shepherd/Australian Cattle Dog and is prone to barking at anyone who comes to the door. While she is completely manageable and not a threat to you or your dog/dogs, it is for this reason that I ask all clients to message me to come out to your car for the initial meet and greet and for pickoff/drop off. On that note, I'm totally equipped to handle aggressive dogs. However, if you have a dangerous dog, while I will not turn you away, it's important to know that I will crate an aggressive dog for the duration of their stay with the exception of walks every 0-3 hours. Additionally, I would appreciate a muzzle being supplied with an aggressive dog, although I will not require it. Both my dogs can be considered reactive on leash. While I can absolutely guarantee your dog's safety, I completely understand if this makes you uncomfortable enough to be a deal breaker. In the event of a health emergency, there are animal hospitals close to me, however they have conventional hours of operation. As a result, outside conventional hours, I would be required to take a trip to Chico, CA where there is a 24-hour animal hospital which is about 20 minutes away. Tips are always welcome, but never expected. If you feel I provided satisfactory service, a positive review is greatly appreciated!

Information Dylan T. would like to know about your pet
Let me know if your dog has any special needs or behaviors that I can account for. I can handle aggressive dogs as I'm equipped with bite gloves, but please understand that aggressive dogs will be separated from the others in a crate and will be walked separately.
A typical day
I'll walk your dog/dogs alongside my own for 10-15 minutes, every 0-3 hours (usually every 2 and a half hours). We like to explore all the smells by a year-round creek on the land around my apartment complex! Your dog/dogs will enjoy a daily trip to the dog park, or in inclement weather, a 15-20-minute run/walk on a manual treadmill as well as lots of toys, play, and treats!
