Degree in Zoology, Patient + Caring

Pet care experience

Hi! My name's Brian and animals are my life. I have a degree in Zoology from Colorado State University and have been caring for animals ever since I can remember. My families first dog came into my life when I was in 2nd grade and my love for them just grew from there. In addition to my families dogs, when I was 15 I began volunteering with dogs at an animal shelter and have continued to do so over the past 8 years. I'm comfortable working with all dogs from Pomeranians to Mastiffs and everything in between. I've even worked hands on with wolves while caring for them at a sanctuary! I take special pride in my ability to care for and befriend timid, scared and/or aggressive dogs. I am able to administer all non-intravenous medications your dog may need and have experience working with blind and deaf dogs. I am more than willing to accommodate almost any special requests to make your dog and yourself more comfortable with any arrangements! If you have any questions please dont hesitate to ask!

Brian is a caring responsible person. He has taken care of our dog for years. Our dog required special attention, including frequent eye drops. Brian has also volunteered at the local shelter where he walked dogs and helped with their overall care and well being.

Brian has known and has tended to my Huskey/mix, Shane, since he was a puppy. (Shane is now 10) I know when I expect Brian, he'll be there . Brian has been very reponsible and trustworthy. We have gone away for weekends with no problems. Shane requires medication and Brian was able to administer it properly. Sometimes I feel that Shane liked Brian more than he liked me! Brian comes with a 5 star review.
