My hybrid work schedule allows me the flexibility to incorporate pet care into my daily life, whether I'm at home or house-sitting. My work in DC doesn't interfere with my ability to look after pets 7 days a week, thanks to my adaptable schedule. From walking dogs to enjoying quiet moments with cats, pet care is both a convenient and fulfilling aspect of my lifestyle!

Safety, trust & environment

In both my client's home and my own, the golden rule of treating others how you'd want to be treated extends to pets and property alike. I adhere closely to any special requests or needs that my clients have, providing their pets with the same kindness and compassion I'd offer my own. House sitting and pet sitting not only allow me to offer quality care, but also fulfill my own desire to spend time with animals. I take pride in knowing that I am helping my clients out while taking care of your beloved pet.

Information Brian S. would like to know about your pet

I am happy to care for an array of pet needs. I am big on communication; this ensures safety for myself, and your pet. While I am comfortable with any request, I ask to be notified in advance!

A typical day

When it comes to looking after pets, my typical day starts with morning walks, followed by an afternoon of playtime and potty breaks. I like to keep things fun with activities like fetch and tug of war, which keeps their spirits high. I enjoy opportunities to reinforce good manners and training, ensuring your beloved pets have a well-rounded and enjoyable experience. For lower energy pets, I enjoy curling up on the couch and keeping your pet company while I work, play Xbox, or read.

Pet care experience

What sets me apart from other sitters is my lifelong experience and diverse range of animal care. Not only have I had pets all my life, but I've also cared for an array of animals—from big cats like lions and tigers (interned at the Jacksonville Zoo summer 2019), to domestic cats and dogs of all sizes. My skill set is comprehensive, including puppy training and specialized care for senior pets, ensuring that your four-legged friend will receive the love, attention, and tailored care they deserve.

Brian was amazing. We had a last-minute request over the holidays, and he truly saved us. He stayed at our home and took excellent care of our dog, King, who isn’t always the easiest, but Brian stepped in confidently and made it work without issue. Communication was great; he was always responsive and kept us at ease while we were away. We came home to a happy dog and a house left in great condition. We would absolutely book Brian again and highly recommend him to anyone on Rover.

We had a wonderful experience with Brian. He came over for a meet and greet so that our dogs were familiar with him and we had the opportunity to ask questions as we are first time Rover users. His communication was fabulous and he was always punctual. He took care of our dogs while we were out of town for a day and provided updates throughout the day about walks, feedings, and playtime. Thank you Brian for a great first experience! We will be in touch next time we need help with our pups!

I can't say enough good things about Brian, our exceptional pet sitter who goes above and beyond in caring for our three dogs and two cats. His love for animals is evident from the moment you meet him, and his level of experience provides immediate peace of mind. Not only is Brian punctual, organized, and reliable, but he also brings a personal touch that sets him apart. One evening, he managed the miraculous feat of getting all three of our dogs and both cats to curl up on the couch with him while he played his Xbox. This level of comfort and trust speaks volumes about his abilities and the loving environment he provides. Brian's responsible nature ensures that we come home to a well-maintained home and, most importantly, happy and healthy pets. His reliability gives us the freedom to travel or focus on work commitments without a shred of worry. He even sent me daily photo updates!! If you're in need of an extraordinary pet sitter, look no further. Book Brian before someone else does! This guy is a catch!
