Animal (Specifically Dog) Lover!

Pet care experience

Hi, my name is Brian and I'm an animal (Specifically Dog) lover! I grew up with dogs throughout my childhood and was usually the one taking care of most of the responsibilities. I've dealt with calm, and aggressive dogs, which made me appreciate all the different types of personalities our pets can have. I’ve also dealt with dogs with specific needs, so I understand if you have some uncommon requests for your pet. I’m typically available for dog/cat care. Whether it be walks, stop ins, and overnight sitting. If you have any further questions please feel free to reach out directly!

Brian was great with my highly energetic and playful puppy, Hazel, who he dogsat in my home for the weekend. He checked in regularly, sent photos, and left my house in great condition. He even brushed Hazel and vacuumed as she is shedding badly this time of year. Would recommend Brian to anyone looking for a pet sitter or dog walker, and would use his services again without hesitation! Thanks Brian!

Safety, trust & environment

As mentioned, I have experience dealing with overly friendly and excited dogs, as well as dogs that can sometimes be a little aggressive. I have dealt with dogs that are not so other dog friendly and know how to deal with situations with possibly aggressive encounters. I put the animal first, and understand each animal will have different needs, and situations. I'm always willing to be flexible to fit you and your pets needs! Please feel free to reach out directly with any questions!

Information Brian M. would like to know about your pet

Before hand I would like to be informed how your dog is with people, other dogs/animals, and also if they have any specific or medical needs that I should be aware of. I would also like to know how they are off leash in a closed space, or what kind of walks/hikes they are used to.

A typical day

Depending on the type of dog, and if they like to play with others, I like to go to local dog parks. If they like to keep to themselves, I know some local spots for a nice scenic walk and places to let them off leash if permitted.
