Insatiable Dog Lover

Pet care experience

I have owned up to five dogs at a time back when I lived in a suburban home. On top of my own, I volunteered with a rescue and fostered an additional one or two dogs in my home. I have experience with dogs who are very apprehensive to humans, as well as those that can't give enough kisses (I love doggie kisses.) I have experience providing leash training if needed, and my personal pet is one of the best behaved boys on a leash I've ever seen.

Brian took such good care of Callie. He clearly has a lot of experience and made it a priority to keep Callie safe and work with her quirks. He sent us lots of cute updates, which I appreciated.

Brian took our pups out a couple times on the afternoon/night we got married, we were able to enjoy the experience even more knowing that they were in such great hands!

Brian was excellent with our 4 month old pup. Our lil guy immediately liked him and really enjoyed playing with Brian's dog for the day! Logistically, Brian was easy to work with. He quickly responded to texts and was flexible to accommodate our needs. I highly recommend him for your pet sitting needs.

I have room for a crate for your dog if needed. I live in an apartment building which allows pets and have a 10-year old pug living with me currently. His name is Bluto, and his RPF (resting pathetic face) will melt your heart. He gets along with any and every dog (and has to be told not to just run up to any and every dog at the park) and will be a great companion for your pet. Bluto gets along with cats, to a fault where if they aren't interested in having a dog sniff them constantly, he will not get the hint. I live across the street from a park, so frequent potty trips are not a problem and can easily be accomodated. In other people's homes I am there for the dog only, I'll play with them in the home so they get some attention outside of just having someone come in and walk them, then just immediately leave them by themselves again. I have respect for your home and will only take out dog toys which are visible (and put them back when done) and not touch anything else but your pets.

Information Brian L. would like to know about your pet

Please let me know of any potential behavioral issues such as food aggression, or any specific action which they don’t particularly care for. I want them to feel comfortable with me, so please let me know how best to accommodate their needs.

A typical day

I love playing with their toys because they are typically so proud to show them off. I still control our walks, but I like to let them stop and sniff periodically. It’s not a sense humans rely on that much, but it’s how they perceive the world so I let them do their thing and get their enrichment and it looks cute as they do it.

I currently am between jobs so I'm primarily focused on trying to have pet care maybe become my new full-time focus, so pet care will always come first before any other activity.
