Pet care experience

Home full time-potty breaks/walks

From my earliest days to now as an adult, my love for animals has remained unwavering. Growing up, I not only took care of our family pets but also extended my affection to the pets of neighbors and friends. I've always felt a deep connection with nature's creatures, and I make sure to extend my care to them as well. While my genuine affection for animals is evident, I must admit that my biggest weakness is perhaps being overly indulgent with them. This has led to Kona developing a love for "nilla wafers." Nonetheless, I do maintain a balanced approach when it comes to training, as I gently enforce basic commands like "sit" and others. Recognizing the importance of regular exercise and bathroom breaks, I religiously take my dogs out for walks twice a day. However, I also understand that not all dogs prefer walks and some might enjoy playtime more. So, I happily adapt to their preferences, engaging in activities like tug of war to keep them happy and active. In essence, my tender heart and laid-back nature make me an ideal companion for animals, and I find joy in providing them with the care, attention, and love they deserve.

It was George’s first stay with Brian and he did great! Nice to get pictures and a video while we were gone. Brian was very welcoming to all of us!

Brian is one of those people you can tell is a dog lover from the get-go. He enjoys being outdoors and when adding a dog or 5, all the better. I don't trust many people with my dog, but I do Brian. I highly recommend using Brian for your dog walking or sitting needs.

Brian is an avid dog lover who has taken care of my own dog, two of his own and my brother's. If you're dog wants to go on a walk he is more than happy to take them, if your dog wants to play with their favorite toy for hours he will do that as well, or if your dog just wants to relax and cuddle he would go right along and join them. He is very loving and caring with all dogs and is a great person to have look after my own.

Schedule

I have the flexibility of working from home and remotely, making pet sitting at either my place or yours incredibly convenient. Drop-ins are always welcome and never a problem. Taking breaks from the computer is essential, and what better way to do so than by visiting and caring for your beloved pet?

Safety, trust & environment

When outside I utilize multiple tie-outs since we lack a fenced yard. I make sure to stay with them whenever they're on the tie-out. During walks, leashes are always used and harness if preffered. Indoors, I employ baby gates to restrict access to certain rooms, while allowing the majority of the home to be open for my pet to roam freely.

A typical day

Exploring the neighborhood with our furry companions on the sidewalks, venturing into the abundant trails, engaging in lively games of ball and tug of war outdoors, or simply unwinding and basking in the sun outside – these are the delightful activities that fill our days.
