Brian was absolutely wonderful with my pup, Mak. I am always nervous to leave Mak with new people. Brian was very communicative, sent tons of pictures, and went out of his way to make sure Mak felt welcome in a new home. Brian’s dog Fay was also a perfect little host. I can’t say enough about how nice it was to leave Mak with someone who I was confident would treat him well. I had zero concerns while he was under Brian’s care. Brian himself is kind, patient, and professional.

Our dog had a great time at Brian’s place! Brian was very communicative before and during our booking sending lots of pics and updates. We felt confident that if needed, Brian wouldn’t hesitate to reach out to us. We look forward to booking again with Brian for our next trip!!!

Brian took amazing care of Jackie! He was incredibly communicative from the start, sending regular pictures and updates about her. It was particularly hot during her stay and Brian made sure that she was safe and kept a close eye on her after time in his lovely backyard. Jackie came home happy and healthy - all that you could ask for in a Rover stay. We will definitely be back to Brian’s house in the future!

Brian took wonderful care of our dog, Luna, for a week while we were traveling. Luna is very shy, but it was clear she felt comfortable and at ease with him very quickly. Communication was excellent, with multiple photos and daily updates that gave us peace of mind. He has a wonderful yard, was always very responsive, and made the whole experience easy and stress free. We would highly recommend Brian and would happily book with him again.

Safety, trust & environment

I have a fully fenced in large yard in the Douglas Park Neighborhood. My yard will be a haven for your pup, providing ample space for playing. I love to take walks in the Douglas Park Neighborhood and am within walking distance of two Arlington county Dog Parks. I will be able to provide plenty of walks and time outside as I love to mow my lawn and work in the yard. I do have a max of (3) dogs at a time and I try my best to introduce all dogs prior to staying with me.
