I can do drop-ins or house sits where I can come to your house and make sure your doggo is taken good care of by going out to go potty, is fed, needs a fresh bowl of water, or just some cuddling. We can do a walk around your neighborhood, go on a fun adventure at a nearby park, or we can even take a short drive and go for a hike! If your pets prefer a certain route please let me know or we could just go where ever the sniffs will lead us. I am very physically active and would be able to give your dog a physical, happy, and stimulating experience during walks while keeping them safe.

Pet care experience

Hi there! My name is Brian and I am excited for the opportunity to take care of your doggo/s. I have over 10 years of experience taking care of dogs. I took care of 2 of my own dogs growing up and friends and family have relied on me to walk, feed, and care for their pets. If you are on Rover, I am guessing that you have a lot on your plate and are looking for someone to take good care of your fur baby. Having grown up with numerous dogs of my own, I know how anxious it can be to leave your doggo in the care of someone else. If you choose to go with me, I can assure you that I will love and care for them as my own. Hiring a dog walker gives you the peace of mind that your dog is well taken care of, even when you aren’t at home. With a daily dog walker, you don’t have to worry as much if you need to stay late for work, or if your dog doesn’t completely “finish” when you take them out in the morning. The knowledge that your dog will get quality time outdoors during the day also helps relieve the guilt or stress held by knowing your pup is otherwise locked up alone, often for 8 or more hours every day. You can feel confident that you are doing the best you can for your pup, and that your dog is living a rewarding, happy life.

 We all live busy lives, and every minute counts. Sometimes, consistent lengthy walks are difficult to fit into our schedules. We often wake up extra early, head home for our lunch hours, and delay making dinner for our families in an effort to make sure our dogs get the care they need. With a regular dog walker, your dog still gets all of the exercise and attention they deserve, while you get back a great deal of time. Everyone wins!

This was our first time with Brian and he was communicative when running late! Friendly and was receptive to our concerns. Definitely will be booking again!
