Pet care experience

LMTs give the best tummy rubs

As a kid, I grew up on a hill where there were only seven other houses. One of our (few) neighbors was heavily involved with a no-kill shelter in the small town where I lived. People seemed to know this and were constantly abandoning unwanted cats and dogs on our street...assuming they would be found and taken to the shelter. Some of those dogs and cats made their way to our neighbor's home...but quite few were "intercepted" by my sister and myself. So I grew up with a steady stream of pets that were needing love and attention. I've since grown up and moved away, but those early memories shaped my fondness for dogs and cats. I currently live in an apartment complex that does not allow pets, so I really enjoy getting some snuggle time with the retrievers, shepherds, and spaniels that belong to my friends. For the past ten years, I have been the go-to guy for friends and acquaintances with pets to dog-cat-house-sit when they take off on vacation. I am a massage therapist with my own practice and the ability to set my own schedule. I live in Olympia and have extended family in Seattle, so I am not averse to zipping up I-5. I am a mellow person by nature; hanging out with your pup and good book to read is my ideal weekend! I hope that you will choose me to look after your animals when you must be away from them.

This was a long trip with an old and finicky dog so really it was some serious work for our first time using both Bryan and Rover after losing our long time sitter. But we came home and Bingley was well and safe! We did receive regular communication from Bryan and could see that Bingley was adjusting and getting comfortable with his new friend.

Bryan was great. He immediately hit it off with our two dogs with his relaxed yet fun demeanor. And we loved the periodic updates and photos he sent while we were gone. He took care of our house and left it in perfect shape. Most importantly, the dogs were happy and healthy when we returned.

Bryan stayed in our home for two weeks with our pup. He was wonderful and took great care of both our dog and our home. Thank you, Bryan!

Bryan was fantastic with our dog! She was well looked after and he left our house clean and in good shape at the end of the sitting visit. We highly recommend Bryan and would use him again.
