Availability

I am able to dog sit throughout the day time or even overnight if need be. Weekdays and weekends are both possible with advanced notice. I often work from home at my kitchen table which is connected to the living room giving the fur baby plenty of space to hang out and be comforted by my presence. Of course, I always take time to stop and play.

Pet care experience

I love dogs! (cats too but I'm allergic) I care for a few of my friends dog and keep my home pet friendly at all time but I do not have any of my own pets. I also have a nice fenced backyard that dogs love almost as much as me. While I owned my own dog for many years work and travel has kept me from having one of my own. I don't have any special skills per se (unless your dog happened to know sign language) but I have decades or experience, a great deal of patience, and excel at walking dogs of any sizes as I am told by many I am a natural leader.

Brian was so great with Noodles! Great backyard with shade and trees to entertain her. He is so caretaking and my dog had a great time. Would recommend again

Brian and I have been friends for almost 30 years. During this time I've always had a dog and Brian has always been like a step father to them. When I've needed to go out of town, he's always stepped up to take care of them, making sure they got out for walks, cleaning up after them, fed and medication taken if necessary. He even wrote a song that he only sang to my dog Blu. I'm not alone in this. He's lived with many roommates and their dogs, and has always helped care for them like they were his own. In short, he loves dogs with a passion and would be a great asset for anyone that needed a dog sitter and/or walker.

Brian is the most patient pet caregiver that I have ever seen! My pup is old and slow Brian treats her with patients and respect, even when I am frustrated with her. His compassion for our four legged friends is commendable. I would recommend Brian to any of my friends and family. Thank you Brian!
