Information Brian W. would like to know about your pet

What their typical routine is, if they have any friends or enemies I should be aware of. What they are usually like with you. Special requests for things like mail checked. Package brought in. Plants watered.

A typical day

I like to let your dog lead the walk. I find that if they are walking regularly they have a routine that they are used to. I take the time and care to get to know your pets and what they like. I guarantee that they will get plenty of exercise and love. I take my job seriously and I will exceed your expectations for your pet sitting walking needs through Rover.com. I'm strong willed, honest, and compassionate. Most of my careers in life required 100% professional performance 100% of the time. I take the same approach to my own business to this day.

Pet care experience

I love all animals. Dogs are my favorite. Had them my entire life. Raised several from pups. Prefer rescue over akc. I am comfortable with all dogs big and small. Bully breeds are my favorite. I will treat your pets as if they are members of my pack and always take great care of them. I own a small but growing pet sitting service and offer my services here. I am very friendly and caring and it would be awesome to have you as a client. I respect your home and privacy. Your dogs will love me. I am comfortable with giving them medications and had a Rottweiler who was epileptic and have managed seizures in both humans and dogs. 20yrs as a firefighter paramedic providing EMS care to humans. This is my full time occupation and will always deliver 5 star service. Dedicated to Dogs for life.

Brian has been a life saver for us! We had a complicated family emergency and Brian has been an invaluable and professional asset during this period. Brian has been such a great friend to Charlie, our dog. Charlie is so very excited when Brian comes, and since he's a big dog, we've really appreciative how well he responds to Brian. Brian has also been 100 percent reliable, extremely communicative, and very flexible. He has even helped my elderly mother bring in packages and other things that have become difficult for her. He's just a good human being! Brian is great with dogs and also with people. We so appreciate his help over the past several months.

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.
