All species. Any needs. No problem

Pet care experience

I treat all family members with love, compassion, and respect. I would love to have your pet be part of our family, so you can enjoy worry free travels. I have 38 years experience handling all domestic small animal (and several wild) species, including reptiles and birds (large birds too). Veterinary Technician 33 years. Dog training 38 years. I realize the difficulties of getting flexible pet sitting at times from my own travels. I am willing to work out any special scenarios as needed. I am fully skilled in all veterinary medical home care needs. Walking, short runs, play times, bathing, aggressive or problem pets welcome. I have one dedicated room (the catio) 15'x18" for one families cat(s). I am reliable and take pet care seriously. Excellent transportation. Please alert me in advance of behavioral issues and concerns, so that I can tailor your pets visit to avoid unnecessary stress and property damage.

We were lucky to find Brian for our pup and her specific needs. Her personality isn't the easiest to deal with. We were also able to leave her brother with her. Our pups safety is of utmost importance to us. Brian kept us updated, followed instructions, and is kind with a pleasant personality. He is definitely one of a kind and we appreciate the care he dedicated to our pups.

Brian was a great sitter for my two pups. I was worried about them and how they would adjust but Brian reassured me with plenty of updates and photos of them playing fetch and having fun. His response time was always prompt and he was very flexible when it came to a late checkout time as I was coming back from my honeymoon with my husband. Highly recommend Brian!

Second time we used Brian. Oliver’s a handful were always a little worried because he’s a little bipolar. But Brian makes you feel comfortable and reassuring. Daily updates and photos are sent. Thank you again.
