Brian was kind enough to (on short notice, I might add!) watch our beloved, special needs Beagle mix, George, while the girlfriend and I were in town for the weekend visiting family. I knew from first contact with Brian that I was dealing with a kind and responsible individual, as his replies were both prompt and professional but also very warm and friendly. Our first introductions went over wonderfully, as Brian and George became acquainted with lots of hugs and dog-kisses. I briefly re-touched on George's needs, who was born with a chronic, congenital anal-megaly deformity. Brian was very understanding and had no problem taking George's unique qualities into consideration. It truly put us at ease. With Brian's assistance in caring for George, we were able to spend time quality with our family for a few days without needing to worry about how our George was being cared for. We were even able to go out and catch a concert at a local dive bar, where my favorite indy underground, East-German, mosh, death punk-a-billy, band "Das Danger Krü" from Hansestadt Rostock was playing!! So, I can definitely recommend Brian for a "parent's night out" as well! Thanks again!!!!
