Husband, Father & Furball Lover! :)

Hello fellow FurBall lover! First off, I would like to thank you for clicking on my profile. :) I have 3 passions in my life. God, my family and my FurBall! I have been caring for and nurturing animals since the age of 4. I grew up in a family of 6 with 1 brother and 2 sisters. My father was the ultimate nature boy with a deep love for plants and animals of all kinds. That love was passed down to us at a very young age. Growing up we had rabbits, Guinea pigs, hamsters, iguana, Parakeets, African Chihlids fish tank, a 9000 gallon koi pond and of course my favorite of them all, dogs. Currently we have a furball named Spunky and he is a bichon. We call him our son and we treat and love him just like we treat and love our 2 girls. I even make his own food every week using only organic ingredients because I believe the quality of life for Spunky is dependent on his food, how much he's loved and exercised. We are a very active family and love to go on walks, hiking, hanging out at the beach or park. We always take Spunky along whenever and wherever we can. Our friends and family know that my wife and I love to babysit and look after their dogs. We both work from home and it’s always nice to have another dog around that Spunky and my girls can play with. Quality of life for our family is of the utmost importance to us, therefore we like to limit the dogs in our care to a maximum of 4 (occasionally it will go over if it’s a dog we have cared for before and is easy). We limit the dogs in our care so we can give our girls and the dogs in our care the quality time they need. You can rest assure that your Furball in my care will get the utmost love and attention that it deserves :)

Brian was amazing. He watched our 9 month old high energy puppy. It was our puppy's first time staying with anyone, so he was stressed and anxious and Brian was awesome. Lots of updates and pictures. He was a trooper with late night wake ups. Thank you Brian and your family for taking such great care of our baby.

Brian was amazing when boarding our dog with him for three days and two nights. We received frequent photos and text updates which helped us know she was taken care of. Our dog came home safe and happy, definitely recommend using Brian for all dog sitting services.

Brian was responsive to the booking request, helpful, accommodating, punctual & very attentive to our senior pup while administering medication at a last minutes notice. He kept us updated with timely pics/texts & there was NO concern about his services. He was even willing to sacrifice his time for a last moments meet n greet. I would use again & highly recommend. Thanks again Brian!

Doggy Day Care • Jul 15, 2024

Brian was very easy to work with and made us feel very comfortable leaving our new puppy with someone new. We received lots of photo updates during the day of our pup getting snuggles from he and his family, and making friends with the other dogs in his care. We plan to use Brian for our future dog sitting needs.

Ginger overnighted with Brian and his family. He was very informative with pictures of her stay. Ginger was super happy in their company. If I could give more than 5 stars I would. Highly recommend Brian what a great experience.

Schedule

I currently work at home. I am semi-retired and I day trade for a living now. I’m up at 5 am and I’m done trading by 1 pm on the weekdays. I’m off on the weekends always. I trade actively for about 2 hours a day usually from 6:30AM to 8:30AM and I’m usually done for the most part so I have plenty of time play and entertain my girls, Spunky and any Furball in our care.

Safety, trust & environment

My house is fully fenced and is always locked. I let my furball out to run around the yard. We have a doggie door that he can use to go in and out as he pleases. We live in a safe neighborhood with a lot of animal lovers. Often times we all go up to the park that is located up the street that backs up to a mountain so it’s very private and safe. My wife and I are very meticulous and so is our house and yard. It’s always clean, organize and well maintained.

Pets

A typical day

We are a very active family and love taking our Spunky and our girls on hikes, local trails and the beach. We have a park right up the street from us and often take him up there to play fetch and let him run around and play with other dogs. We love taking Spunky out to Huntington Beach where they allow dogs off the leash. We never take on too many bookings for several reasons. For one this is our home and we want it to feel like a home for us and for your Furball as well. So aside from our Furball Spunky we like to keep our bookings to just 1-3 a day. I don't use a kennel unless specifically asked to by the owners. I want to make sure that everyone in this household (furry or human) gets the attention that they deserve.

Cats
0 to 15 lbs
16 to 40 lbs
Brian can host up to 3 pets per night
Meet and Greets are 20 min at a public place (location given privately). Home address is never given until booking is made/paid or I have throughly vetted owners and feel good about our communication. This is to ensure our safety and the safety of the people/belongings in our home. If your dog is aggressive, excessive barker, or has the tendency to destroy furniture or mark its territory indoors then I'm afraid we have to respectfully decline the booking. We meticulously maintain our home and we take pride in having a CLEAN home that also smells clean. Also our daughters safety is my #1 priority. Pick up and drop off is $30 for round trip within a 5 mile radius. Will be an extra charge if outside that radius depending on distance. Drop off and pick up hours are between 7AM - 10PM. If drop off and pick up are outside of those hours, there will be a $10/hour fee added. I will always meet clients and their furballs out front when picking up and dropping off. Please text me your ETA when you are on the way so I can be ready. I will move all items that belong to the dog inside the house first. I then personally like to walk all dogs that come into my care first before they come inside the house. Please do not allow your dog to pee or mark the perimeter of the home. Thank you :) BRIAND57137, https://www.rover.com/sit/briand57137 $20 off promo code above for first time booking :)
