Your Best Friend's Best Friend

Accepting New Dogs For Summer 2026 It's tough for a pet and their parent when they’re separated. I never like it either! So, I make sure to keep you updated with many videos and pictures. Over 2 hours in Prospect Park everyday! I have the queen of the castle Nala who is 7 year old Labrador, and the new Princess Ava who is just over 1 noe. So your best friend will always have company. So if your dog isn't social it probably isn't a good fit. I can handle all your best friend's needs.

We couldn't have asked for a better experience with Brian! Moving to a new city made finding reliable pet care stressful but Brian completely changed that. He took wonderful care of our dog Sasha over the weekend, sent tons of great updates and photos, and made us feel totally at ease. He’s experienced, professional and amazing with dogs. We’re so glad we found him and will definitely be booking with him again for boarding and daycare!

Bruno stayed with Brian for eight days and had a great time. He absolutely loved Brian! Brian kept me updated throughout his stay, always sending me photos and videos from their walks, which gave me a lot of peace of mind. The time Bruno spent with Brian was also great for his socialization, especially because he got to interact with other dogs. Brian was very patient, attentive, and caring with all the dogs. You can tell he genuinely enjoys taking care of them and makes sure they are comfortable and well looked after. I’m very happy with the care Bruno received and would definitely trust Brian with him again. Highly recommend!

Sandy had a great time with Brian and his pack. The picture updates confirmed that pack walks in the park + chilling in the apartment with dog friends = Sandy’s ideal day!

Safety, trust & environment

Between myself, Nala and crew they'll have a constant companion to fight separation anxiety. Also we take an hour plus walk in the am thru the park for off leash hours. And another long walk in the late afternoon early evening. With as many potty breaks as needed around those two long walks. Your pet’s safety and emotions are my top priority so I try to make sure they don’t experience separation anxiety by keeping them occupied.
