Pet care experience

Experienced caregiver, animal lover

Summary: Hi! I’m an experienced caregiver with a passion for animals. I have a fenced yard and all the supplies your pet needs to feel at home. Just bring their food, & any meds. I’ll provide love & a safe environment—your pet will be in great hands we me! Details : All pet water is filtered. I'm great with all animals of all sizes. I've had dogs, cats, and fish, and I get along with them all. I'm sure that your fur, feathered, scaled, or finned family and I - will be great friends. I mostly board and sit with some walks and drop-ins. Mostly depending on the timing. Reach out for special needs and requests. While not trained professionally - I can also help with some behavioral issues. I'd love to meet your pet family. Work from home professional. Single father. I have my daughter every other week and I have a dog that can be kept completely separate if needed. I also have plenty of dog toys that are okay to be beaten up. Gates in-house to control pet location. Allowed to get on furniture and bed. We have a big comfy dog bed as well. Two litter boxes are available. Just ask that you bring food, any special toy, litter for cats, and any medicines. I have two tie-out leads for dogs and a shady backyard that is fenced in. Our neighborhood is quiet and great for walks. I usually board at my home in Nashville (Near Rocky Mount and Spring Hope) but I also have a location in Raleigh that is also a big home with a large backyard and two separate floors. For sitting, I would likely stay with the pet most of the day as I work remotely.I do require high-speed internet access and preferably a decent work desk area. I will work on any behavioral issues that I see in the time that I have. Let me know if you have a question!

I’ve been looking for a great dog sitter I can trust with Peanut ever since I moved to Rovky Mount 2 years ago and I finally found that person in Brian! Brian made Peanut feel comfortable from the minute they met and I was at ease because Brian provided updates and pictures regularly during Peanut’s stay. Peanut is 14 and does usually not do well with new people. Brian clearly has a way with animals. I highly recommend him!

This was our first time leaving our two dogs with someone other than family, and Brian made it such a smooth process! He provided updates and pictures regularly and did amazing with our dog that is super shy. You can tell he really cares for animals and strives to provide the best experience! I would definitely recommend Brian to anyone looking for a trustworthy and caring person to watch their fur babies!!

Brian was awesome. He sent us pictures of the girls and kept us updated on everything. His daughter is the sweetest, and she was also a big help with our girls. We'll use Brian every time we need to go out of town and can't carry them with us. We loved that they didn't have to be in a kennel. He had plenty of toys and they were able to have him around the whole time because he works from home. Can't say enough good things.

This was the perfect boarding experience from beginning to end. The level of care, professionalism, and attention to detail was exceptional. It was clear right away that my pet was in safe, capable, and genuinely caring hands. Everything was handled exactly the way I hoped it would be. Communication was excellent, updates were reassuring, and every detail was managed with care. The environment felt safe, clean, organized, and welcoming. Most importantly, my pet was comfortable, well cared for, and treated with real kindness and patience. What stood out most was the boarder’s attitude. They were dependable, thoughtful, attentive, and clearly take pride in what they do. It is rare to find someone who combines professionalism with such a warm and personal touch. If you are looking for the ideal boarding service, this is it. Trustworthy, responsive, caring, and truly top-tier in every way. I would absolutely use this service again and highly recommend it to anyone who wants real peace of mind when leaving their pet in someone else’s care

Safety, trust & environment

I have the ability to keep multiple pets. I have a large fenced in back yard at both locations. Both are single family homes with lots of space. Gates and seperate areas if pets need to be separated. We can also accommodate requests for no other animals be present, however I am great at acclimating animals with each other. Even ones that do not tend to play nice with others. Always up to you in the end. I have muzzels and a Kennel at both homes (if needed) , cat litter boxes at both locations as well. Leases safety collars , and for a small added fee , daily health tracking during the stay with a special collar monitor tracking device that I have. All pets are treated like family with love care and respect. Will work with all breeds ages and sizes.

Pets

A typical day

As a passionate pet caregiver, I love to cater activities to each dog's unique personality and energy level. Whether your pup prefers a gentle play session in the backyard or an energetic run at the dog park, I'm here to make sure they have a blast! I enjoy taking leisurely walks around the neighborhood, providing a perfect opportunity for exploration and sniffing adventures. For the more active dogs, we can even hit the trails with my electric scooter for a thrilling ride! And let’s not forget about those cuddle moments—if your furry friend just wants to relax by my side while I work, I'm all for it. I have a variety of entertaining toys, including some durable options for those pups who love to chew and play hard. Every dog is different, and I’m dedicated to accommodating their needs and preferences. Just let me know the style that suits your dog best, and I’ll ensure they have an enjoyable and fulfilling day with me!

I believe that getting to know your pet's specific needs is crucial for providing the best care possible. Please let me know about any special requirements or behaviors your dog has, so I can accommodate them. It’s also important to remember to bring any medications, food, treats, and any special comfort items your pup may need during their stay. To ensure everyone is comfortable, I have dog beds and kennels available, but if your dog prefers extra snuggles, they're welcome to sleep on the bed with us. My goal is to create a safe and loving environment tailored to your pet's preferences!
