Pet care experience

Compassionate, Caring and Flexible

Even with everything going on in the world, I am still here to assist! I had previously lived with and took care of a Yorkie-Maltese mix named Sebastian for 4 years. I am great with dogs of all sizes and personalities and love spending time with new furry friends. Sebastian meant a lot to me but unfortunately moved on due to cancer years ago. Dogs are an important part of my life as I have always dealt with anxiety. I have found canine friends to make a world of difference for me for so many different reasons. I would love to help take care of your pup as well! Love cuddling, playing, walks, hikes, beach time and making your animal feel as loved as they make you (and me) feel. I would be happy to board your pup at my town home for short trips or stay with them at your residence while you are gone; whatever is best for you and your pet. I have a comfortable setup with plenty of space, a fenced in area, and am in walking distance of parks and trails. I spent months working alongside a certified dog trainer and business owner on basic behavioral obedience, etiquette and best practices. This has helped me better understand, communicate and work with dogs. I also have some previous retail experience within the industry working at Petsmart. Please also note I have experience with very large dogs (150lb plus) as well, including Mastiffs, Newfoundlands and Great Danes. I am happy to provide references if you would like :) I work remote/locally here in San Mateo, so I am pretty flexible providing services in the general San Mateo and surrounding areas. I have a fairly flexible work schedule as well. Happy to review this with you before booking! I think this depends on the type of service I am providing and any specifics you potentially need!

Can’t thank Bryan enough for his gentle and kind care of our anxious dog. Will definitely ask for him again.

Bryan was excellent in house sitting taking care of our dog! He was very attentive, very clean, and our dog got along great with Bryan. Would absolutely recommend him and hire him again!

Bryan took great care of my cat Smokey while I was away. Communicated well, shared pictures, and was thoughtful with everything

Bryan has been our go-to dog sitter for the past year. He’s consistently reliable, fast to communicate, and we always come home to a happy pup! Highly recommend

Bryan was great with Baeley this weekend. Went out of his way to take her on extra long walks that she loves. Great communication and followed her care directions flawlessly.
