Highlights
Pet care experience
Fun and Attentive Animal Lover
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!

Ratings and reviews
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
Brian was so great with the pets and so accommodating. I can’t say enough good things about him and highly recommend him
5 plus stars!!! I could not have asked for a better experience with Brian. From my very first interaction , it was clear that Brian genuinely loves dogs and takes their care seriously. Communication was prompt, thoughtful, and reassuring, which made it so easy to leave my dogs (he’s watched many of my dogs over the years) knowing they were in the best possible hands. During his stay, I received regular updates, and photos, and that made me smile and completely relax. I can be a bit anxious about my dogs. But, it was obvious my beloved dogs weren’t just being “watched,” but truly cared for—played with, exercised, comforted, and treated like part of the family. I often travel abroad for work in hard to reach places so trusting that someone can handle anything that comes up is essential. Brian is that person. Upon return my dogs have always been happy, calm, and clearly well loved (honestly, i think they might have been a little disappointed to see me return)! Brian is reliable, attentive, kind, and incredibly intuitive with animals. If you’re looking for someone you can fully trust with your dog—whether for a night, a weekend, or longer—look no further. He’s the only one I trust with my dog(s) and will absolutely use him again. I recommend him to everyone we know. Thank you for taking such wonderful care of my best friend and furry family member. Bodhi also says thanks. 🐾

Schedule
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.
