Highlights
Pet care experience
Happy Pets, Peace of Mind
I’ve owned and cared for dogs my entire life and currently have one of my own, along with experience caring for guinea pigs. I’m comfortable with dogs of all ages, sizes, and temperaments—from energetic puppies to senior dogs who need a gentler pace. What sets me apart is my calm, patient approach that dogs naturally gravitate toward. I have experience administering medication, handling reactive dogs, and providing long, engaging walks tailored to each dog’s needs. I’m highly detail-oriented and committed to following your pet’s routine closely so they feel safe, comfortable, and right at home. I also prioritize quick, clear communication, so you’ll always feel informed and at ease while you’re away.

Safety, trust & environment
I tailor my care to each pet’s individual needs, whether they’re staying in my home or I’m caring for them in yours. I focus on keeping their routine as consistent as possible, including feeding schedules, walks, playtime, and any specific instructions you provide. In a client’s home, I’m respectful of your space and committed to maintaining your pet’s normal routine so they feel secure in their familiar environment. I’m experienced with administering medication, handling reactive dogs, and adjusting care for puppies or senior pets as needed.
Ratings and reviews
Dylan was flexible and exceeded my expectations when he watched my dog. He also kept me updated every few hours without being asked which was great. I would hire him again in the future.
Dylan is an exceptional dog sitter who goes above and beyond. He took great care of my energetic golden retriever, Max, making sure he got plenty of exercise with long, engaging walks and sticking closely to his routine. Dylan was reliable, attentive, and thoughtful—providing regular updates and even adjusting care based on Max’s needs. I came home to a happy, relaxed dog, which says it all. I’d trust Dylan anytime and highly recommend him to anyone looking for a caring and dependable dog sitter.

Schedule
I work full-time from home in Sioux Falls, which allows me to provide a calm, consistent environment and give pets attention throughout the day. While I’m typically working until 6 PM Monday through Friday, I’m able to incorporate check-ins into my day as my work schedule is flexible. Before and after work, I dedicate time to walks, play, feeding, and any specific care your pet needs. My evenings are relaxed and centered around making sure pets feel comfortable, exercised, and settled. On weekends, I have more flexibility for longer walks, extra playtime, and maintaining your pet’s routine.
