Pet care experience

Hey there! My name is Brian and I am super excited to meet and bond with your fur baby! I have worked with dogs for years and have trained 3 of my own dogs in obedience and other skills. Very active and am on at least one hike, walk, or run per day. I work pt about 20 hours a week doing breathwork for clients and other side hustles. I can work on specific skills or do whatever routines your dog normally has to make them comfortable as possible. Plenty of room to separate dogs or to bring them together! I used to have a farm with lots of livestock so I am knowledgeable in animal health and care. I clean the dog runs, yard, and house daily. Lastly and most importantly I love dogs and have a great disposition towards them and would love to bond with your special friend. P.S. I will take care of other chores while you're away like bringing in mail, watering plants, or other daily necessities.

Brian did a wonderful job taking care of our dog Lula. She had so much fun playing with his dogs, going on walks/hikes, and getting love from Brian and his family. We will definitely be repeat customers!

Reliable and trustworthy. He is truly an animal lover. My dog loves his walk time with him.

I could tell this family took the pet sitting seriously. They asked all the right questions and I felt at ease right away. It’s nice to find a solid backup home for my babies, I would definitely book again!

Safety, trust & environment

Ideally I try to mimic the daily life your dog would have while they’re in your company. However, if your gone most of the time and don’t get too spend much time with your dog I will facilitate it that the dog(s) get a lot of time interacting, walking, hanging out, etc. My dogs are very flexible and am able to crate them, separate, or do whatever is needed to make your dogs stay positive. If watching at your house my dogs can either come to play or stay at my place, again very flexible.
