Sporting/working dog specialist!
Pet care experience
🐕 Highly experienced with sporting and working breeds. German Shepherds, Labs/Retrievers, Aussies, Rottweilers, Terriers (including American + Staffordshires), and others. Very familiar with their personalities and drives (e.g. high-prey drives) Experience: 8+ years on Rover, 24+ years of owning/watching dogs (including 2 Rottweilers I've raised in the past) **Please read this in its entirety before reaching out, to help you determine if we are a fit for you** 👌 Confident, firm but caring, just what these beautiful breeds require Looking for a stable, long-term reliable dog sitter? We are too! 90% of the dogs we watch we have known for many years and treat them as if they were ours. If you're looking for one-time stays, there are cheaper sitters but if looking for an experienced dog sitter that can span many years with you and your pup, we'd love to meet you Exercise: walks, bike rides, and fetch/Chuck-It. Exercise = built around your dog's abilities Collar training: I am trained with most types of collars... flat, prong, electronic, and gentle leader head collars. We'll only use what you provide for their safety Leash reactivity and to other dogs are understandable, which may be typical for working breeds (i.e. high prey drive). However, if your dog has any history of aggression towards humans, we won't be able to watch your dog
Reviews
Brian was great about keeping in touch with us before and throughout our American Bulldog's stay. I felt very confident about leaving our high-energy wrecking-ball-of-a-dog in his hands as I could see right away that he was knowledgable and capable of handling this power-breed.
I had such a great experience with Brian and Jackie! My pittie Bella is usually really skittish around new people and they were able to make her feel comfortable pretty quickly. I got lots or pictures and videos which really put my mind at ease during her stay. I could tell that she had a blast playing and on her walks. Their home is really clean and spacious and my pup loved being able to explore and play. Already booking her next stay! :)
Another 10/10 stay at its Brian! Left my pup under his care for an extended stay and have never felt so at ease during a trip. Amazing communication and tons of text/photo updates along the way. Will continue to book for future stays!
I had a phenomenal experience boarding my dog with Brian! He provided great updates, lots of pictures and thorough communication during her stay. I genuinely appreciated his flexibility and would absolutely recommend him / plan to book with him again!

📅 High energy dogs are fine as we exercise them in the AM/PM but prefer dogs who can chill out during the day when we're in the home office
