Safety, trust & environment

In your home, I prioritize security and maintaining your pet's sense of normalcy. Whether it’s rigorous playtime for dogs or quiet companionship for cats, I provide consistent updates and photos so you can see your pet is happy, safe, and loved. I treat every home with respect and every pet like they’re my own because I get it. I’ve been in your shoes as someone looking for a sitter

Information Brian D. would like to know about your pet

-Are they allowed on the couch or bed? - For cats especially, where do they go when they are scared? - Do they have a specific toy or blanket that helps them settle? - Are they terrified of thunderstorms, fireworks, or the vacuum cleaner?

A typical day

I tailor the fun to your pet’s personality. For high-energy dogs/cats, we’ll enjoy long walks or play time. If your pet is more of a 'couch potato,' we’ll enjoy plenty of quality brush-time and belly rubs. No matter the energy level, I always include lots of photos to keep you updated

Where Your Pet is Family 🐾❤️

Pet care experience

My journey with animals started over 13 years ago with my family cat, who taught me the importance of subtle body language and the specialized care that any pet requires. This lifelong bond grew into a passion for helping others, leading me to become the go-to sitter for my neighbors' dogs and cats for several years. What sets me apart: • Multi-Species Fluency: I currently look after both a cat and a dog daily. I understand a dual dynamic and know how to balance the high-energy needs of a dog with the boundaries and quiet requirements of a cat. • Reliability & Trust: My neighbors have trusted me with their home keys and their furry family members for years. I pride myself on being punctual, following specific feeding/medication instructions to the letter, and keeping a tidy space. • I know what it’s like to be in your shoes: As a pet owner myself, I also have looked for sitters and know the level of care and attentiveness that I seek for. It’s a classic example of upholding the standards that I want to see myself

So fortunate to have connected with Brian. He was great with our dog and bonded quickly with him. Brian was responsive and communicated clearly. He asked great questions during the meet and greet. Throughout his care of our dog, he provided detailed updates, photos and pictures. We will absolutely be using him in the future.
