Dedicated dog dad

Pet care experience

I've had family dogs my whole life and currently have my own 2 and a half year old dog named Guinness who I trained myself. We constantly go to the dog park, go swimming or spending whole days out in the woods hiking trails. I understand the needs of dogs of all ages and monitor activity level and engagement. If your dog needs special accommodations, such as daily medications, that is easily managed. I'm currently preparing to enter into a Master's program and I build my schedule to ensure every dog I take care of has plenty of time to get their energy out! I can do overnight or day boarding throughout the week with appropriate advance notice. I do book out well in advance so the sooner you reach out, the greater chance I will have availability to watch your dog or cat. I hope to hear from you soon! *All prices are negotiable My apartment is always clean with plenty of toys. I do not have a fenced in yard so your dog will be taken out on the leash to use the bathroom. All exercise will be through walks, play inside with toys or my dog, or going to the dog park/hiking.

We used Brian to sit our two dogs and cat for the night at our house. He updated us frequently which I appreciate as I am a worried dog mom! He followed my care instructions and when we returned to the house everything was as we left it. He went above and beyond by taking in packages and vacuuming around our litter box. Would 100% recommend and book again!

Awful. Harassed me because my dog peed and pooped in his house.

Brian is such a caring, helpful person. He kept in touch every day & sent pictures too. I highly recommend him & will hire him again when I need to.

Brian has been excellent with Emma. We have boarded Emma for over a month with Brian and he constantly sent us videos of her playing with other dogs including his(Guinness) which made us not worry knowing Emma is being taken care properly. She looks healthy just like we left her with him.

Information Brian M. would like to know about your pet

I do not have a preference on breed type but am reluctant to take a dog that has aggressive tendencies. Must be house broken and good on the leash. If your dog has any special needs or accommodations, please make them known ahead of their stay so I can adequately fit their needs. Please also let me know any preferred activities your dog may enjoy (playing with toys, fetch, walks, hikes etc) so I can give them the best experience. I look forward to working with your dog!

A typical day

I take my dog Guinness swimming every single day and we also spend at least an hour per day at the dog park. He also loves to chase the ball or stick and go hiking so there's plenty of variety with the exercise we like to get!
