Who's a good doggy?

Pet care experience

I am a full-time dog walker from 10:00-3:30 I do group walks and dog park trips. If your pup is good with other dogs and has lots of energy it can join me for the day or a good chunk of it. Otherwise, I can stop by around 1:30-2:00 for a potty break if needed. My experience: I have been a dog lover my whole life. Grew up with a German Shepherd. I started dog sitting about 9 years ago (2011), and took up dog care full time about 4 years ago. I have stayed with dogs for up to a month while the owners have been away. I have given insulin shots to a dog with diabetes, taken care of a dog who had recently gotten his salivary gland removed, and given many meds to other dogs. I have worked with puppies and elderly dogs, a blind dog, and also taken care of a dog in heat (change doggy diapers). Have experience with dogs of all sizes. I have some experience training dogs as well: just some basics like helping them focus and behave on walks. I enjoy a good walk and treat like my good doggy friends. So if you are looking for a buddy for your pup, I am your guy :)

Brian was so attentive to my dog, Bandit. He gave my dog his medicine daily with no problems. He also sent me photos and a text every day. I really appreciated that. I knew Bandit was happy and in good hands. Brian stayed at my house and kept it clean and tidy. I would recommend Brian to anyone who needs their pet taken care of while you're out of town or just for a walk. 5 stars!!

Brian was well liked by my 2 older and anxious dogs. They even ate better with him than when they are left with just my husband.

I could tell as soon as Brian came to meet my cats that he’s a natural cat whisperer - all 5 of my cats came to say hello, even the most timid. He took fantastic care of them while I was away and kept me posted with updates and pictures every day. It really put my mind at rest knowing my babies were getting such great care. I just re-booked Brian for my next trip. Highly recommended!

Brian did a fantastic job! He stayed at my place watching 2 big dogs and 3 cats, everyone seemed very happy. He provided daily updates with photos without me having to ask and did other helpful things that weren't even on the list to do (clean up dog poop, etc)
