Availability

I'm a retired teacher, first mathematics at the college level, then yoga. For the last 12 years I owned and ran a yoga studio here in Huron, Ohio. I loved the yoga but am glad to have a break from running a small business. At this point, my schedule is 100% flexible. I've been a serious yoga practitioner for over 25 years and my practice is still a central element of my life. When I'm not practicing yoga, I find joy spending time with animals, especially dogs, and being outside. I also spend a lot of time "creating". I love to paint and craft and make things in general. I'm currently learning to sew. I also like to read, dance and listen to music. I'm very tidy and responsible and I don't drink or smoke.

Information Brian H. would like to know about your pet

Let me know if your dog has special needs or requirements. I'm happy to make trips to the dog park or whatever other accommodations they need to be happy.

A typical day

I'm down for whatever activities your dog loves. I LOVE being outside, so if that's something your Love likes, they will get lots of it. In the mornings I like to get our pretty quickly after getting up. After a long walk, I generally practice yoga (wherever the dog likes to hang out!) for an hour or two, There's nothing I like more than meditating with a dog in my lap. If your animal likes more walks, I'm happy to go our multiple times a day. I'm happy to send an hour throwing a ball. Inclement weather does not deter me. I also like to "wrestle play" or tug of war with dogs, if appropriate. I like all the games! I'm also very affectionate and will give your dogs LOTS pets, scratches and snuggles.

Fun and Attentive Animal Lover

Pet care experience

I've been caring for a variety pets and properties or 30 years. I love it! I've done the usual thing of sitting for short periods of time and I've also enjoyed longer situations, like 9 months in Costa Rica or 2 months in Asheville NC. I enjoy tending the property almost as much as taking care of the animals. When I caretake I am very attentive. If your animal needs long walks, ball throwing or belly scratching, I'm on it. If they seem content, then I'm likely to hang out and do yoga or meditate. Animals love it!

Brian did an excellent job looking after my boy. The pup is very tired from his exciting adventures

Brian was great with my dog! He sent me lots of pictures and updates which put my mind at ease! I was worried about leaving her with a stranger but the pictures of them playing and her chilling out let me enjoy my vacation. Will definitely be calling on Brian again.

Brian took great care of my two dogs and really treated them like they were his own. My dogs were very happy when I got home and looked well cared for. He also took really good care of my home. I would highly recommend Brian for dog sitting or home sitting

Brian is the best. We were so lucky to find him. We can go on vacation and not worry about our pets with Brian taking care of them. I highly recommend him for any animal care you need
