Information Brian D. would like to know about your pet

I am very active and engaged. I played multiple sports growing up and am immersed in sports and fitness now. I do not mind if a dog prefers longer walks or is an active pup.

A typical day

Engaging in dog care activities that include a mix of physical exercise and mental stimulation. We could play fetch or tug-of-war, scent games (hiding treats and finding them), creating obstacle courses with daily basic items, and interactive toys.

Pet care experience

I have taken care and walked neighbors/dogs within my area for the last three years, as an adult. Throughout childhood I was around pet-friendly households and have grown to love all types of animals, but especially, dogs.

Brian has been spectacular. His schedule is open to whenever I need and both of his dogs get along with him well. He is personable and extremely accommodating. I highly recommend Brian to walk, house-sit, or board your dog.

Brian was great! We hired him to swing by the house a few times a day and for a longer period in the evening while we were out of state for a wedding. He walked and cared for both of our dogs. They’re both 60+ pounds and he handled them well. He stuck to the feeding schedule we gave and I have no doubt he gave lots of love to the boys. We got home and they were happy and relaxed Brian was great at communicating. He sent photos and updates each time he stopped by. Would hire again.

Brain was very easy to work with. Meet and Greet was super easy and the actual boarding was super smooth. Max seems to have had a great time with Brian. I would highly recommend Brian.
