About: I began my career in animal care working at a shelter, there I would handle many different dogs. I have experience in teaching basic commands with positive reinforcement, feeding animals with dietary restrictions and administering basic medications. Lately I've been walking dogs, creating relationships with both the dogs and owners, bringing peace of mind and building trust. I am currently working part time and have the weekends off. The latest I work is 4pm, with my commute being under an hour long. Building trust with animals is my number one priority, I want them to feel safe while they're around me and my family. I have a small fenced in yard and live in a quiet neighborhood. There's usually someone home at all times so your pet won't be lonely for very long. I have a small, friendly senior dog named Bo, she is low energy and usually just chills in her bed all day. My daughter also lives with me, she is 4, a big animal lover and is respectful with boundaries.

I then went on to work at one of the largest animal welfare organizations in the United States. I work remotely and have plenty of flexibility to care for your pets. I also drive and can get to a location fairly quickly. I thoroughly enjoy taking fur babies for walks and spending time with cats in their home (or mine!)

My home has a backyard with fences surrounding the area and enough space for running and playing. In my home, I have a senior pug who is loving and stays in his world but will keep your furry friend company. My family is also loving to all animals, so extra love will be guaranteed in my home.

Dean F.
“Aside from being one of the friendliest and most kind hearted people I’ve had the pleasure of meeting, Dean is reliable, a great communicator, and has such a positive attitude! I had went on vacation for a little over a week and needed someone to watch my Dog Coco and my guinea pigs Rex and Ray. Coco is extremely friendly and adjusts to most if not all environments, meanwhile my guinea pigs are always anxious and can be uncomfortable around strangers. Dean watched my fur babies while I was on vacation and he kept me up to date with how each of them were doing, showing me pictures and videos, and even let me FaceTime them just so I could say hello. I knew my Coco would be fine, they got along extremely well and he LOVES Dean, but I was so glad that my guineas were so comfortable with him and didn’t stay in their huts the entire time. I was so appreciative of him taking care of my boys and how kind of a person he was, that I recommended my best friend to him as well (she has 2 cats). She had a great experience with him as well! I would highly recommend Dean to anyone looking for a great pet sitter!”

Union Port dog parents share their Rover experiences
Cemre recently started walking my dog. She is a good communicator and quick to respond! She will leave extra details about her walk with my dog where they enjoy their time together. Cemre and I have flex work schedules which change each week. She’s a pleasure to check in with to accomodate my pup with our schedules.
This dynamic Black female duo cared for my dogs as if they were their own. They were always prompt and communicative, sharing their activities during the walks. I received pictures and videos too. I really wish I lived close by full time because I would hire them in a heartbeat
Elijah is wonderful. He communicated well before, during ,and after Goldie's walks. He is EXTREMELY patient and caring. He provided photos of our Goldie. He cared for her as if she was his own dog. He is accomodating. We will definitely book with Elijah again. If I could give him 10 stars, I would. He made us feel comfortable that Goldie was in his care while we were on vacation.
