Reviews
Bryan was fantastic! He was very communicative, he sent lots of pictures, and lemon had a great time with him. I would happily recommend him to anyone looking for a dog walker!
Bryan was great! Knowledgeable and had great tips on my reactive pup!
Great
Bryan is like the dog whisperer - he was super great with my anxious old dog Hendrix and gave us confidence and comfort that he would be a great match to take care of the Kaya and Hendrix. Highly recommend Bryan!

My top priority is always the health and happiness of the pets in my care. Whether I'm caring for them in my own home or in the owner's home, I follow a few key steps to ensure that they are well-cared for: 1. Meet and greet: Before taking on any new clients, I always schedule a meet and greet with both the owner and the pet. This allows me to get to know the pet's personality and needs, and to answer any questions the owner may have. 2. Follow the owner's instructions: I always ask for detailed instructions on how to care for the pet, including their feeding schedule, exercise routine, and any medications they may need. I follow these instructions closely to ensure that the pet's routine stays consistent and they feel comfortable and secure. 3. Provide plenty of love and attention: Whether the pet is staying in my home or their own, I make sure to give them plenty of love and attention throughout the day. This might include playing with them, snuggling with them, or taking them for walks or to the dog park. 4. Maintain a clean and safe environment: I make sure that the pet's environment is clean and safe, including their sleeping area, food and water bowls, and any toys or accessories they use. I also make sure to keep any hazardous items out of their reach. 5.Stay in communication with the owner: Throughout the pet's stay, I keep in touch with the owner to provide updates on how their pet is doing. I also make sure to let them know of any concerns or issues that may arise. By following these steps, I ensure that every pet in my care is happy, healthy, and well-cared for, and that their owner can enjoy peace of mind while they're away.
Information Bryan S. would like to know about your pet
It's important to have as much information as possible about a dog before I take them on a walk. Here are some key pieces of information that can be helpful: 1. Medical information: Does the dog have any health issues or medical conditions? Are they on any medications or have any allergies that you need to be aware of? 2. Behavioral information: Does the dog have any behavioral issues, such as aggression or anxiety? Are there any triggers that might cause the dog to become anxious or aggressive? 3. Training information: Does the dog have any training or commands that they respond well to? Are there any specific training techniques or tools that the owner uses that you should be aware of? 4. Exercise needs: What is the dog's usual exercise routine? How long of a walk do they typically go on? Are there any physical limitations that would impact their exercise needs? 5. Feeding schedule: When does the dog typically eat, and are there any dietary restrictions or preferences to be aware of? 6. Contact information: In case of an emergency, it's important to have the owner's contact information and the contact information for their veterinarian. Having this information can help me to provide the best possible care for the dog while they are in my care and ensure that I can handle any situations that may arise.
A typical day
Some fun activities I do with dogs include going for walks or hikes, playing fetch or tug-of-war, teaching them new tricks, taking them to the dog park or beach, giving them a puzzle toy to solve, and snuggling up for some cuddles. As for special places to go on walks, it really depends on where you live and what's available in your area. Some dogs love exploring the woods or hiking trails, while others prefer a walk around the neighborhood or a trip to the local dog park.
