Pups aren't jst pets-they're family

Pet care experience

📢📣PLEASE, PLEASE READ EVERYTHING BEFORE BOOKING A BOARDING. THANK YOU SO MUCH! 🏡🐶🚘WE PROVIDE FREE PICK-UP AND DROP-OFF🚘🐶🏡 ‼️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, Jay Ortega 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 Jay 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, again this is our full-time job and we truly enjoy doing it. 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: $55 per night, additional pup $20(Same household). PLEASE NOTE, WE TAKE MULTIPLE PUPS FROM DIFFERENT HOUSEHOLDS AT THE SAME TIME🐶🐕🐕‍🦺🐩. If your pup is friendly and well socialize, we are sure he/she will fit right in with our pack! WE PROVIDE FREE PICK-UP AND DROP-OFF🚘 (only up to 15 miles from 60707)(Belmont and Harlem) 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 could refer you to other very good sitters in the area that I personally know and would 100% trust with my own or my clients' pups. *WALKS: Walk 10 min: $16 Walk 20 min: $20 Walk 30 min: $24 Walk 60 min: $39 Cat drop-in visit: $20 Thank you for carefully reading this. 🐶

Top notch service. Will definitely have Brian watch my pup again. Pickup and dropoff was effortless. My dog is very social so I know she was right at home being with others.

Best boarding experience ever! Brian is a total pro and our dog had an absolute blast playing with his new pals. Excellent communication, prompt (and very helpful) pickup and drop off. Highly recommended! Thank you, Brian!

Our pup had the best time at Brian’s! We could tell right away that he loves taking care of dogs and this is more than a part time job for him- which made us feel comfortable leaving our puppy while away. He sent many updates and photos throughout the week and we could see she was having a fantastic time with the rest of the dogs. The addition of pick up/drop off made the stay seamless. We won’t hesitate to book a stay with Brian again!

🏡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.
