Pet care experience
Former Dog Trainer, now 'dogless'
I'm a former Dog Trainer who worked in a Kennel in my younger days. Now, I'm a real estate Broker working out of a house in Lomita. I miss having a dog around and I'm good with all types of dogs. If you have a 'barker', I may not be the right fit. If they pee in the house, can you find someone else? I work at home and the neighborhood is a dog friendly area. I can have more than 1 dog at a time, if they are from the same family but I don't mix dogs that don't know each other, I normally only take one at a time. I have a fenced in yard that I access through the kitchen. First step might be a meet and greet, let's see how we get along.

Ratings and reviews
Brian took great care of our dog George. He helped him with his anxious behavior and kept him active. He shared photos & videos of their adventures. We felt calm knowing that he was well cared for & we are grateful!
Brian is fantastic. You can tell he really cares about your pet. Sends lots a pictures which is great.
Brian took good care of my dog and sent lots of pictures and updates.
Milo had the best time staying with Brian. Brian worked very well with Milo's reactivity and gave me tips on how to work with Milo. They went on many walks, visited the dog park, and had lots of playtime. I appreciated how many photos and videos Brian sent while we were away. 10 out of 10 would recommend and will definitely want Milo to stay with Brian in the future.
Brian is the best! We’ve sent a few of our pups to him and he’s always taken amazing care of our babies. Brian sends regular updates and is always so attentive. We also love that he only has 1 dog at his place at a time.
Brian did an incredible job with our Great Dane. He has a natural way with dogs and gives them plenty of love and attention.

Schedule
We will get into the same routine and I work out of the house. When I wake up, the dog will get a walk. After meais, we walk. If I have a short appointment, I generally take the dog with me in the car, maybe into Home Depot. Late Afternoon might be a stop at the dog park. After Dinner, we take a Walk. Before Bedtime, we take a Walk. Dog also has access to an enclosed yard and I leave the door open if it's nice outside.
Where your pet will stay
Home characteristics
Safety, trust & environment
I cover the couch with blankets and the dog can take over the couch. Your dog will get a lot of attention and excellent care. I don't take your trust lightly and remember how that felt when I had dogs.
A typical day
If your dog is good in the car and good at the park, I would love to take them to the Redondo Beach Dog Park. *I have bowls do you don't need to bring them. I you have a bed or a mat, bring it. Let's speak about a dog kennel before you bring that. For dropoffs, I prefer a quicker goodbye. Dog will be a bit stressed so i take them for a walk as soon as you leave. Bring Extra Food! I appreciate exact packaging but I'll return the unused, just bring extra in case you are delayed. *If you are bringing a prong collar, can you please bring extra prongs. I see a lot of collars that are too tight so I'd be happy to play with the sizing for you while you are away. it should be loose so the prongs are applying light pressure and should never be left on a dog unattended. Great tool.
