Playful Dog Trapped in Human Form

I am one of those people who will spend most of his time at a party hanging out with the host's pet. I love the joy and occasional challenge of meeting a new animal, figuring out how to communicate with them, and earning trust and friendship. Between growing up with dogs, and being asked to watch dogs, cats, and homes in my neighborhood since I was a kid, I feel confident in my ability to both meet new animals and give them care. My additional experience includes working at a cat vet clinic, as well as working at several animal sanctuaries where I cared for animals like wolves, tigers, chimpanzees, and horses. Those opportunities have allowed me to practice the ability to communicate with all kinds of animals and individual animal temperaments. I love just making sure a pet can go out for a walk, get some play time, get a good brushing, or just feel relaxed by not being alone. I want to give you and your pet a stress-free and enjoyable experience. I'm looking forward to teaming up with you to make that happen.

Pets

Safety, trust & environment

I have a small apartment and 2 cats who don't care for many other animals, so unfortunately I cannot host your pets at my home. However, I am used to staying in other people's homes, or just visiting their homes, to care for their pets.

Brian took wonderful care of our two pups for 12 days. Both dogs are high energy, and received good exercise and attention. He stayed at our house and left everything clean and orderly when he left. Would definitely book Brian again in the future!

Brian stayed with my Lola for 6 days and she was well cared for and happy. I could tell by the photos that he sent that she was very happy with Brian and my home was as if I never left. He is a great overnight sitter and will ask him again when I need to be away. Highly recommend.

Brian stayed overnight with our three pups and went above and beyond by brushing them, sending photo updates and even cleaning up debris that got blown into the yard. We absolutely appreciated the communication and he even stayed later than expected when travel plans were delayed on the return trip home.

Selfishly hate to leave a good review in case Brian isn’t available for us next time, but he went above and beyond. Our pets were so well cared for, he sent updates and pictures of them out and about, and was proactive with issues that came up on our property. We’re grateful we found the perfect person

Schedule

My schedule is currently quite flexible, and I would love to fill it with some pets who want somewhat regularly scheduled walks or visits, whether that is most days, every couple days, once a week, or for big family outing days. I am available to stay overnight with a pet most nights assuming I have a little warning so that I can make sure it works well for my wife and for my own pets.
