I am very flexible, since I am semi-retired and work part-time at home. My only need at your home would be Wi-Fi. I can spend most of my time at your home, but would like the option to be away for 3-4 hours at a time for errands, church, etc.

Safety, trust & environment

If you can provide some details on how you want your dog(s) cared for, I will follow that to the letter. Otherwise, I would care for them like I do my own - meals at a consistent time, make sure there is always water, timely potty breaks, occasional playtime, at least one walk per day (weather permitting), occasional brushing.

Information Brian S. would like to know about your pet

I would like to know: Whether your dog is high-energy; If he/she likes rough-housing; If I can walk him/her without a leash (i.e. will he/she run off if given the opportunity)?

A typical day

Lots of petting and kind words, daily walks, ball-playing, relaxing indoors and outdoors, brushing and belly rubs and any other activities you suggest. I also hope treats are OK.

Pet care experience

I grew up with a dog in the house since I was 7 years old. As an adult, I have at least one dog in our house for the last 17 years. I love dogs and take good care of mine. My current dog is a Golden Retriever, well-trained by me, but he's still somewhat spoiled :). I am responsible and trustworthy, just looking for something fun to fill the time. The money is secondary. I will also take good care of your home.

Brian was a fantastic sitter with Tito! He double checked on things if he wasn’t sure. Pictures of Tito’s days with Brian were great and assured us Tito was in good hands. Great notes were left after his stay. We will definitely have Brian stay with Tito again! Thank you Brian for taking such great care of Tito!

Brian is a great sitter! He walked my dog twice a day and sent me texts with pictures regularly. Brian also left my house in as good a shape as he found it! I highly recommend Brian as he very professional and a good communicator.

Brian was fantastic! He was recommended by a friend and what a great guy! I could tell my "babies" were well-taken care of, as was my house. It's a different concept having someone you initially don't know in your house, but Brian was so easy-going and kept me informed during my absence. I would highly recommend Brian S to anyone. Thanks for a great job!!

Each sitter joining Rover needs to pass a background check. And by booking on Rover, you can get photo & message updates, 24/7 support, and reimbursement for eligible vet care.
