House Sitting • Aug 29, 2026

Brian was great! He sent us updates multiple times a day. He came on time, he came when he said he would. He even dealt with some unexpected poop in the house while we were on our trip away.

Outstanding, cannot stress enough - accommodating, flexible, and my dogs love him. Not a better one in our area. Will always recommend him and his pet care ventures! Knows something about sports too.

House Sitting • Aug 17, 2026

Brian dog sat in our home for the week and was absolutely wonderful! He kept us updated with messages and pictures throughout our trip, which gave us such peace of mind. He was incredibly attentive, caring, and loving with our pup. We came home to a happy, well-cared-for dog and couldn’t have asked for a better experience. Glad we booked with him again!

Drop-In Visits • Aug 10, 2026

Brian went above and beyond to take care of our senior pup while we were away. He kept in contact with Luna's anxious mommy (me) all weekend with updates and double checks. Because Luna needs some extra help, Brian made sure that she was able to take care of all things - Luna was a happy girl when we got home, no doubt due to being well taken care of!

Boarding • Aug 10, 2026

This is our second time booking Brian -- he again, went above and beyond to take care of my dog. He's super communicative with us and accommodating to our needs. Momo was for sure happy with 3 walks a day! We are so happy we found Brian!

Brian is the best dog walker we've ever worked with on Rover! Anakin took an instant liking to him and we look forward to a long term relationship.

Schedule

I am a teacher and high school coach. My hours and schedule is pretty flexible outside of 8:00 AM to 2:30 PM. I do have a break within the day where I am capable of feeding or walking the dog at hand.

Safety, trust & environment

I live in a very spacious, new apartment. I do not have a fenced yard, but the dog will never come off the leash (unless instructed to otherwise). I am a personable and friendly guy who gets along with both people and dogs!

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.

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.
