Pet care experience

Lovely family for all of doggy

What sets me apart is my hands-on experience with large breeds and multi-dog households. I currently care for two dogs of my own — an Alaskan Malamute and a young Samoyed — so I’m very comfortable managing different energy levels, personalities, and routines. I have experience with both puppies and adult dogs, including basic training reinforcement, socialization, and maintaining consistent routines. I’m also attentive to each dog’s individual needs, whether that means active play, structured walks, or a calm, low-stress environment. Most importantly, I treat every dog like my own and focus on creating a safe, loving, and well-balanced home while they’re with me.

Brant was incredibly attentive and kind. Bailey loved staying with him and his two huskies! He kept us updated with lots of photos and made sure Bailey got plenty of exercise. I would highly recommend Brant to anyone looking for a caring and reliable pet sitter, and I will absolutely use his services again in the future.

Brant was amazing with Biscuit. We received numerous photo and even video updates through his stay. Biscuit got lots of walks and freedom to roam in his yard and play with his dogs. He made sure Biscuit was comfortable with his dogs and was very patient with Biscuit who was scared at first. Now Biscuit has new best friends.

I have known Brant Xia for several years, and his exceptional care for his dog, Siku, makes him an outstanding choice for a dog sitter. Brant treats Siku with remarkable kindness, ensuring she receives regular veterinary care, a nutritious diet, and daily walks filled with playtime and affection. His gentle and attentive approach creates a nurturing environment where Siku thrives, always appearing happy and well-cared-for. Brant’s genuine compassion for his dog is evident in every interaction, making him a trustworthy and highly recommended dog sitter for anyone seeking someone who will treat their pet with the utmost care and respect.

Whether it's taking them for walks or managing their daily routines, Brant does it all with patience, care, and an incredible sense of responsibility.

Schedule

Pet care fits naturally into my routine as I already care for my own two dogs every day. I’m generally available throughout the weekdays and on Saturdays. I have a flexible schedule, with the exception of Wednesday evenings and Sunday afternoons when I have prior commitments. Outside of that, I’m able to provide consistent care, walks, and attention throughout the day.

Before caring for any dog, I like to understand their routine, personality, and any special needs. This includes their feeding schedule, energy level, behavior around other dogs, and any medical or dietary requirements. I also like to know what makes them feel comfortable — whether it’s their favorite toys, habits, or anything that might cause stress — so I can make their stay as smooth and enjoyable as possible.
