The Dean of Dogs

Dean has been taking care of my two kitty boys for over two years now and it is such a huge comfort and relief having him! He's so good with them, they adore him and I adore him!!

I needed someone who is knowledgeable, responsible, and sympathetic to take care of my dog, Carl, while I'm away on vacation. Carl is very large (90 lbs), very cuddly, and does not get along with other dogs. Dean understands how to walk Carl so that he and other dogs on the street are safe. Carl has such a good time with Dean that when our trip is over and we come home, Carl is even a little sad to see Dean go. Dean gives Carl so much loving attention, keeps me updated every day with comforting texts, that I can fully relax and enjoy my vacation, knowing that Carl is in the best of hands! I highly recommend Dean for dog sitting and dog walking. I am so happy we found him!

There aren't enough good things to say about Dean's pet care services! First, let me start by explaining what pet sitting involves at my house - I have 4 rescued chihuahua's, one of whom is 15 years old and has to be medicated for a heart condition, 2 cats and 2 chinchillas. It's not a pet care situation for the faint-hearted but Dean is undaunted by my urban petting zoo and 5 minutes after he arrived for the first time he was on the floor playing with everyone. Dean genuinely loves animals, I mean REALLY loves animals! Like many pet parents, mine are like my children and are excessively spoiled. I am neurotic about leaving them with anyone and my pet care instructions are literally four pages long. Dean takes all this in stride. He's meticulously responsible, trustworthy, and caring. Most importantly, all my pets love him. Honestly, I think they were disappointed when I returned home from my last trip. Dean is also a great communicator which is so important for helicopter pet parents. He sends me videos of everyone daily while I'm away and answers my texts promptly. He even made himself available recently when my return flight was canceled unexpectedly, staying with my pets until I was safely on another flight home. I've used a few other pet sitters in the past and I was always worried the entire time I was away. Now, I don't hesitate to leave my pets with Dean as I know they are in very capable hands - and they love staying with him! I cannot recommend Dean more highly to other pet parents...

Dean is a great dog walker/pet sitter. Hes caring, knowledgeable and trustworthy, which are the key factors that I look for when matching up my little guy with a dog walker. I would highly recommend Dean.

Dean is the absolute best in dog walking/sitting that we've found. He's taken care of our dog, Sugar, many times including staying for a week in our home while we were in Europe. He always sends us photos and videos to keep us up to date and gives her all the snuggles and kisses that she deserves (psst - she even sleeps with him!).
