I'll treat your doggy as family!

Pet care experience

I have a labrador retriever/ poodle mix who is my first son (I have two human sons, too). I grew up with dogs and have lived with dogs for many years. I love to cuddle with dogs on my couch and to give dogs all the attention and care and activity and food and water they need. I love to play catch with dogs, and my favorite game is tug of war, or hand ball (throwing a rubber ball against the wall and challenging doggy to catch). I am a caring and attentive dog owner. My availability is flexible. My home is 4 minutes away from Red Oaks dog park, where I am a member, and I will happily take your dog there to play, or to Red Oaks nature center for a walk.

Radar is learning that when I say Brian is coming today it means he gets to go for a walk, which he loves! Radar is a senior and has slowed down over the last year and Brian is very good at picking up on when Radar is tired. Radar and I both appreciate Brian's observations and that he will let Radar rest during the walk. I believe we are very fortunate to have found Brian!! He's prompt, communicates well and sends pictures during their walk. Thank you Brian for your kindness! Robin & Radar

Great sitter in his home. He followed my instructions and Moose came home happy! Brian staying in contact with me every day letting me know Moose was happy. I got pics daily which was a nice touch. I'll def hire Brian again.

Our fur baby had a wonderful stay with Brian. He was great about sending us updates and photos. It was great to know our sweet girl was in good hands and being loved when we traveled. He took her on walks, let her cuddle, and truly treated her as if she was his own. I definitely recommend Brian and will be seeking his dog-sitting again.

Brian has done tremendous job taking care of Alvin. He kept me posted with daily videos & photos. I didn’t have to worry about a thing. Brian treated Alvin as his own, I’m so thankful & grateful for his services.

Information Brian H. would like to know about your pet

Does your doggy have any allergies? Any particular way he/she communicates needs? Is your doggy nervous around new people, dogs, cats? Does your doggy like to be pet or scratched in a particular way? I have two four year old sons who live with me 1/3 of the time; they grew up with a doggy, and they both learned to play well with dogs. I also have two cats; if they don't get along, my cats can stay in my master bedroom.

A typical day

We'll go once a day to Red Oaks dog park, if you like. We'll have other walks on tree lined sidewalks, and we'll play catch and other games in my home. If you have high energy dog, I can go for run with them, too.
