ER vet assistant. 8 years of ASPCA
Pet care experience
I have been working in the animal care industry for 17 years starting when i was in high school. In that time I have been a vet assistant for most of my jobs. I have worked for companies like Best Friends, ASPCA, Banfield Pet Hospital, and currently work at Burlington Emergency and Veterinary Specialists. I also have experience working with larger animals other than dogs. I have worked at zoos and wild life rehabilitation centers, wolf refuges and even done some free lance whale research. I am willing to care for multiple pets if you have more than one but we will have to discuss this. I am also willing to take care of other types of pets such as birds, reptiles, and rodents. I look forward to meeting you and your pet(s).
Reviews
Brian is one of the most attentive and affectionate caregivers one could ever ask for in looking after their pet. I have a rescue pit-mix whose life started as a bait puppy for a fighting ring and often doesn’t get along with other dogs, who’s allergic to almost everything, and who is more demanding than a toddler when it comes to attention and affection, and Brian’s extensive training and background working with rescue animals, rehabilitating dogs and cats, and as a Veterinary Technician have made him someone that my dog Leeloo and I both love and trust very much. Brian has stayed with Leeloo for many overnights and is a true professional with regard to giving Leeloo her many daily medications and making sure she actually takes them, is excellent at incorporating her training into walks and playtime, and gives her all of the affection she craves to the point that she can see him or hear his voice from a block away and will start crying just to be with him. He’s an exceptional person, has a natural way with animals, and is incredibly knowledgeable about the relationship between humans and dogs. Leeloo and I could not give a higher recommendation for a walker or sitter and love Brian very much! Thank you Brian!!!
Brian is one of the few people in the world that I'd trust to take care of my furry children. Brian's genuine love for animals paired with his professional expertise in animal and pet care make him an obvious choice. Through our friendship I've witnessed Brian take amazing care of many different pets Including dogs, cats, snakes, and chinchillas. Brian always puts Animals and pets first and will always be my first choice to take care of my pets when I am away from home.
About Brian G.

Safety, trust & environment

Home
Information Brian G. would like to know about your pet
I would like to meet any pets prior to hire and I have no breed preferences and I am more than willing to do shared walks with multiple pets in the same family
A typical day
The age of the pet will decide the activities we will do together. Older dogs will get slow walks while younger dogs will get longer walks. Younger dogs will also get some minor training to stimulate their minds for proper development. If I am taking care of your puppy we can discuss having them meet my dog to socialize to ensure proper behavior with other dogs as the puppy grows. My dog Chloe has been a surrogate mother for many puppies

Currently a stay at home dad so I'm available most days depending on my son's needs. But most times scheduling won't be affected as he is now in daycare.
