I am a semi-retired school teacher. After a year of travel (Key West & Cape Cod), I returned to Cleveland and I am excited to care for dogs once again, which allows me to work on fixing up my home and yard.

My home and yard is your dog's home and yard. If you leave you dog with me for the day, I will be present during the entire time. For extended stays, I do not leave for more than a period of three hours. My home and yard are all-natural, chemical free. I do not use treated mulch or any fertilizers. The dogs I have been watching all enjoy exploring the many aromas of the back yard.

Information Brian D. would like to know about your pet

Please let me know any information you deem pertinent to providing great care for your dog. What is your pups regular routine with you on work days and days off?

A typical day

I live less than 1/2 mile from beautiful lakefront parks. I love to play ball retrieval with dogs in my backyard. Your dogs energy and enthusiasm will dictate their day. Like most pups, I, too, love naps!

Pet care experience

Dogs have always been a key component of my life. Recently, I simultaneously cared for a trio of Pit Bulls over the past decade. I have a large 'fenced in' back yard (40' x 220') and a walk-in dog shower in my basement if needed.

Brian was awesome! I had never done this before and was a little nervous, but Brian sent me photos of my dog and I could tell she was having a great time there and it set me at ease.

Both dogs got plenty of love, attention, and walks! We were delighted with the care they received

We had a great experience with Brian. He was very thoughtful, conscientious and doting with my pup Bernice.
