Safety, trust & environment

🏡BORDINGS: I have a fully doubled fenced backyard, I also have cameras inside the house to always keep an eye on every pup staying over. Whether I am upstairs or outside I always keep an eye on the pups. We always try for pups to never stay home alone. 🐕WALKS: When walking your furry best friend, we are 100% focused on your pup, we make sure leash, collar and/or harness are in good conditions. We make sure to secure a tight grip on the leash’s handle. At the beginning of every walk before exiting your home we clip a professional small live tracking GPS device to your pup’s collar next to the tag In the unfortunate event of your pup getting loose or escaping the harness, with this very helpful device we can see its every move live on the app and we should be able to find it almost immediately. To us the safety of your pup(s) is our number one priority.

( ONLY bathing. No nail trimming, no anal gland cleaning, and no teeth brushing.) ‼️OUR AVAILABILITY MIGHT BE DIFFERENT FROM WHAT OUR ROVER PROFILE SHOWS, SINCE WE DO THIS IN AND OUTSIDE ROVER‼️ Hi, welcome to my profile. My name is Brian, I am a full-time pet sitter and walker along with my colleague, Camilo who is our head walker. We are experts in dog walking and boarding. I've been exercising this profession full time since 2017. I recently added Camilo to my team because I believe with his many years of experience as a dog handler, he can be a great asset to my business. We have many repeat clients in and outside Rover. We truly enjoy what we do. Why did I choose pet sitting? I decided to become a full-time pet sitter because I am passionate about animals. I truly enjoy being surrounded by them, especially pups. I've also discovered that doing what you love as a “job” makes life a lot more enjoyable. A happy sitter makes a happy pup. Here is a little bit about myself growing up and why the love for animals. My parents always taught me to respect and care for animals. I grew up with 2 dogs, an American Staffordshire Terrier and a Lhasa Apso, I also had a cat, 5 turtles, two Australian parakeets, a rabbit, and a gorgeous duck, with whom I have very fond childhood memories. I've been filling my life with animals ever since; I currently have a few adopted pups and a few birds. by now I am sure you can tell I am a true animal lover. When the time allows, I volunteer at different animal shelters. I am also a current member of the ASPCA (we are their voice, and should always look out for the animals less fortunate). One of my many goals in life is to always make sure all animals around me feel loved, comfortable, and happy. I believe pets are more than just pets, to me they are family. Thank you for taking the time in checking out my profile We look forward on meeting your beloved pup, and on creating very long-lasting memories of new adventures during walks and/or stays with us. Down below are all services and pricing. Please feel free to reach out for any further information or clarifications. SERVICE PRICING *BOARDING: $63 per night, additional pup $25 (Same household).

Sundays are our days "off" PLEASE BE ADVISE THAT I DO GET BOOKED PRETTY QUICKLY. In the unfortunate event that I can not take your pup, or my environment is not the best fit.

I’ve never left a review on Rover before, but this time I feel it’s important to share so other dog owners can choose the right place for their pups. Brian is the best dog sitter I’ve found after trying several others, none of them made my dog feel as comfortable as he does here. The vet said that my dog is very anxiety. In the past, one sitter treated my pup poorly, which left him scared when he came home. Because of that experience, I’m very careful about where I leave him. At Brian’s place, my dog was happy, relaxed, and clearly well cared for. He loved playing with the other dogs in the backyard, and when he came home, he was still happy and calm which says everything. I truly believe this is one of the best places for your pup to stay. I’m so relieved and grateful to have finally found a place I can trust while I travel for extended periods.

Brian and Camilo are simply amazing! We were given perfect coordination and communication throughout boarding, and Brian sent daily updates on our 3 pups. Fantastic reliability and situational understanding.
