I Love All Dogs

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.

This was our first experience with Rover and Brian was amazing! He sent lots of updates and photos so we knew our dog was safe and cared for. He genuinely loves dogs! We will 100% keep him at the top of our list for future needs.

Brian helped me out last minute, he has a very spacious backyard where my Maggie thrived, he is very personable and you can tell he cares deeply about the dogs he takes into his care. Maggie was loved and I will be looking forward to having Brian take great care of her again!

Schedule

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.

Safety, trust & environment

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.

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!
