Highlights
Pet care experience
Love time outdoors w/all dogs!
I’ve had family dogs almost my entire life. When my latest girl, Jaina, passed after 14 years together, I shifted to pet sitting rather than full-time ownership. My friends, neighbors and roommates can always rely on me to watch their pups whenever they have work or travel plans! I currently live with a beautiful Doberman and am his primary care giver when my roommate travels for business. Our favorite activity is an adventure to Folly Beach where we walk, look at the ocean, and visit the dog friendly restaurants for his doggie-menu treats & pup cups. I’m also a Gold Star Rated Uber Driver that allows riders to bring their animals with them on trips. I attend church in downtown Charleston every Sunday so my Sundays are reserved for me. For extended (week+), I am willing to have a discussion to fulfill needs on that day. I also work as a freelance/contract bartender. While I have no set schedule, days that I accept those gigs will likely result in an 8-10 hours stretch where I would be away from sitting. Give me a shout and I look forward to meeting you and your pups!
Qualifications
Safety, trust & environment
I care for my roommate’s Doberman when he travels for business. We go on walks, to the park, the beach and play in the backyard. I give him his meds twice a day. His water is in a fountain bowl and his food dispenser on a timer. I refill as needed. He is an Alpha so I won’t be offering to watch other animals in my home. But I look forward to traveling to you!
Ratings and reviews
Brian is absolutely amazing!! He has house sat and walked both of my dogs many times. I have an older large Rottweiler and a crazy pitty puppy. They can be a handful and Brian has taken the best care of them. They are both shy at first but they warmed up to Brian almost immediately. He is trustworthy and so great with the dogs. I highly recommend him for any all services. Thanks Brian!!!
Brian did a great job walking my boy!!!!
Brian is a friend and former roommate. He is kind, professional, and prompt. I recently was out of country for a wedding and he was nice enough to keep an eye on my 50lb Plott Hound puppy for the week. I have since been lucky enough for him to stop by and dogsit on occasions when I have to work doubles on the weekend. I could not recommend Brian more for this job!
Brian has a wonderful relationship with our little Yorkie/Boston terrier mix for over 8 years. She absolutely adores him and is always super excited to see him when he comes over to visit with her or take her for a walk when we may be busy. She especially loves snuggling up to him for a nap after dinners with friends. We completely trust and rely on Brian often to take care of our dog. He has a natural way with animals and they all seem to adore him!
I can’t recommend Brian enough as a pet sitter. He has watched my dog, Nia, multiple times, and every experience has been wonderful. Nia is always excited to see them, which tells me everything I need to know about how well she’s cared for when I’m away. Brian is reliable, responsible, and genuinely loves animals. They take the time to make sure Nia is comfortable, exercised, and gets plenty of attention and affection. I always have peace of mind knowing she’s in good hands. Anyone looking for someone trustworthy and caring to watch their pets would be lucky to have Brian. I would gladly trust him with Nia again and highly recommend them through Rover.
Brian has taken care of my 90 lb Doberman on countless occassions without incident, and I know Khan is in good hands when Brian is on the job. Not only does he get walked, but Brian takes it on himself to take Khan on adventures to the beach and around town, and shares pictures with me throughout. Being on the road often for work, it's the best peace of mind when I'm away from my best friend. Not only does Brian handle a large breed working dog flawlessly, but he's also vigilant in adminstering his twice a day heart medication without fail. Beyond that, it's apparent he truly cares about Khan, and there's no one I would rather leave him with as a first choice. Highly recommend.

Schedule
I work part time as a bartender and with special events but on a contract/freelance basis. I’m also a Gold Star Rated Uber driver with an active setting that allows riders to travel with their animals. I attend church on Sundays so I tend to leave that day free for myself. I make my own schedule which allows for a lot of flexibility.
