Experienced/Caring/Accommodating

Pet care experience

I strongly believe in the importance of thorough, ongoing communication with pet-owners, which begins with the first messages that lead to the booking, and continues throughout a stay. The more you tell me about your pet's routine/schedule, behavior/ temperament, special needs, things you are working on, etc., the easier it will be for me to provide the best possible care during our time together. And the closer I can come to providing the same care your pet gets from YOU, the happier EVERYONE will be (So no need to worry if your instruction page has a side 2... or even a page 2! Bring on the details!)

Brian continues to be the best, going avoce and beyond! In addition to his amazing care, we encountered an issue where my boy cat wasn't letting my girl cat est get food. Brian hopped on a call after midnight to discuss possible options (which were successful!) to help alleviate my stress as soon as possible and took action immediately the next visit. As always, came home to a very clean apartment and happy, healthy cats. Cannot recommend him enough!

Second time asking for Brian’s help with my dogs and he did an amazing job again! He asked questions and made sure the dogs were comfortable. Very communicative and responsive. Highly recommended!!

Brian was great. He followed all of the instructions I left for my pug, Chorizo, and he communicated very well with me during his walks/visits. We will definitely use his services again.

I live alone in a 70 unit, mid-rise apartment building in Midtown Village - a very busy area! There are elevators, so no stairs required. I have no pets of my own, and only board 2 dogs at once when both owners have OK'd it, and the dogs have met/had a play date at my place first.

A typical day

I live halfway between Rittenhouse Square and Washington Square, and I have a 40 ft hallway that’s AWESOME for fetch (which allows for plenty of exercise in bad weather!)
