Your dogs' favorite Irishman!
Pet care experience
Growing up on a farm in Ireland, I've spent an entire lifetime around all kinds of animals. Dogs are especially drawn to me, as I am to them. My wife & I currently have a 6 year-old rescue, a black lab mix. He's lonely since his big brother passed away (Oct' 22), he had Epilepsy and I am very familiar here at home dealing with seizures, meds & "special needs" dogs. (My goal is to respond to requests within an hour).

I searched the entire dictionary looking for the proper words to express an Describe the gratitude I have for Brendan, his total professionalism, affection, Nurturing, care he provided for my Boy "Duke?", was unbelievable, it made my wife & I vacation A total successful event knowing my boy "Duke?" was under direct supervision of Brendan, he was treating as a member of the family, that ease our mind knowing he was taking care of, I would to once again thank Brendan for allowing my boy "Duke?" to stay with him an allowing him to be a part of his family, Now I'm looking for to my next vacation so I can let "Duke" go stay with his extended family, Moral of Story Brendan is a Certified keeper???
Brendan was the best! He made us feel very comfortable leaving our Cooper in his care from our first meet and greet. He communicated with us everyday and sent a video as well. Thanks to Brendan, his wife and their dog Atticus our Cooper came home in such a good mood. We knew he was well taken care of and we made the right decision! We’ll definitely be back!
Brendan took great care of our Great Dane. I think she had so much fun and loving she was not ready to go home! He sent daily videos to update us on how she was doing. I highly recommend Brendan for your boarding needs.
Boarding with Brendan and his wife was our first experience using Rover for our 9 year old mixed breed Bella and it was a fantastic experience!! Brendan is very personable and so good with Bella (who is shy with new people especially men). They sent pics and videos regularly and Bella had the best time playing with their boy lab and with them. She ate and slept like a queen (even allowed on furniture ) and she took a real shine to Brendan. I’ve never seen her warm up to someone new so fast before! She had tons of time outside and they really took the time to get to know her personality. I wish that I had found this options sooner as it was way better than her sitting in a crate at the vet’s office for a week.We also loved how flexible the pick up and drop off were. Thanks again Brendan!☀️

We have a large but un-fenced yard. Our own dog doesn't need a fence but I would of course not ever allow any of our "guests" to be out there off-leash. There are several large local public parks where we go for our daily walks and sometimes we'll take the car for a trip further afield. Our home is dog-friendly, very few areas are "off limits", there are years of accumulated doggie-beds, a basket full of toys and our own dog is extremely friendly. If you would like to set up a meet'n'greet before committing to anything, I would be happy to accommodate that.

Information Brendan L. would like to know about your pet
As a very experienced dog handler I like to believe that I'm instinctively tuned-in with the pups, but of course, if they need medication, or have a favorite toy or a fav game they enjoy playing, all this info will be very useful. Are there any specific "commands" that your fuzzy friend responds to more/better than others?
A typical day
There are several safe large local public parks where I prefer to walk my dogs, some with river access etc. I can accommodate your dogs' needs, if your puppy enjoys a walk, we'll walk, throw a ball? We can throw a ball! Whatever your fuzzy friend enjoys, then that's what we'll do!!

I work from home and we go for wubba-walks every day (unless it's absolutely lashing down with rain), we'd love some company! Awake at 5am every day and I'm also physically well-capable of handling the largest of dogs.
