Pet care experience
*Veterinary Work Experience *Attentiveness *Positive Reinforcement Only *Calm/Collected In Emergency Situations Should They Ever Happen To Arise With A Dog *Not Timid or Afraid to Act Boldly and Quickly to Protect Your Dog in the Event Another Dog Attacks *Keen Observer - Ability to Sense If An Animal Has a Serious Health Issue that Needs Immediate Attention. *My Love for All of the Animals of This Beautiful Earth and My Concern for Their Well Being Is My Primary Core Value *My Clients Know They Can Rest Easy When Their Best Pet Friend Is In My Care I love to be a part of any dog pack. I will happily be as active as any dog wants to be with me or as any client would like me to be with their dog. Rolling on the floor and wrestling with them as if I am a dog, throwing a ball, trips to the dog park, trips to the beach, running, hiking or even swimming in a mountain lake or river are all possibilities. I spend many weekends in at my family home in Carmel, NY where we have two more amazing dogs(both rescued strays - whom we brought from Africa) and 4 Acres of Backyard Space where dogs can be dogs. Other weekends I am often hiking or camping in Harriman Park and always happy to have dogs with me. My wife and I have two dogs in our house. "Thor" is a One Eyed Pirate Dog with a built in natural mohawk(Kindly Rescued by Growl Rescue) who also did us the honor of acting as the Ring Bearer in our recent wedding(see photos in main photo section). He had a jaw that was broken in 5 places and stitches where his missing eye had been when I found him. He is a very happy/mellow dog dude now and he is an amazing dog! Our other dog "Hatch" is a 17 week old Red Heeler aka Australian Herding Dog. They are amazing dogs! I fell in love with the breed when I met my great uncle's Blue Heeler when I was a kid. Recently, I decided to see if I could find one while we were traveling in New Mexico on our Honeymoon. For reasons probably related to agriculture, the breed is very coming there. We found "Hatch" at a humane society and named him after the chile pepper that New Mexico is so well known for. Unfortunately, "Hatch" came down with Parvo a few days later and I ended up having to stay an extra week in Colorado as we nursed him back to health in a clinic for 8 days. He made it through though and he is good as new! Your dogs can look forward to hanging with our boys Hatch and Thor.
Reviews
Brandon is thoughtful and caring, and he communicates effectively in setting up appointments and meeting our needs. I highly recommend Brandon!
Brandon watched our dog and everything went fine. His apartment is nice, his own dogs seem very friendly, and we'd use him again to watch our dog while we are away.
Brandon is awesome! Anyone could tell right away that he’s super compassionate and understanding of any dog. He’s done a great job of caring for Macy and helping her get some energy out mid days while I’m at work.
Brandon and his wife are great! They took our pup Charlie to the dog park and took so many pictures! Thanks Brandon!!!
