“Brandon is outright AWESOME! We have a rescue Pit bull this is extremely protective of her owners and her territory. A last minute vacation to the Bahamas came up and we had to make the decision of boarding Layla, or having someone for drop in visits. We went strictly on the drop in visit (1. we never want Layla to feel that we have given up on her-like her past owner, so staying in her home was a must. 2. Many boarding locations don’t take Pit bulls due insurance liability. We went through multiple profiles, but wI knew the only person that could handle Layla was someone that owns a similar type of breed. His dog Ducky reminded me of my boy Buddha that recently passed. During the meet and great, Brandon took the time to introduce himself to Layla, and Layla responded better with him than our previous sitter. It was at time I knew, he was the right person. Overall, Brandon was very respectful, updated us at the start and end of the visits, gave us a progress report, and sent multiple pictures. While we were in our vacation, we were 100% confident that Layla was in the BEST HANDS!! Brandon truly has a passion for pets and we will 100% use him again!!!”

About: Hi! I’m a lifelong animal lover with hands-on experience caring for both cats and dogs. I currently have four cats (two I’ve raised for over 3 years) and two dogs — one who’s been with me for 5 years and is now a senior with different needs, and another I’ve had for 2 years. Over the years, I’ve helped groom and care for pets belonging to friends and family — including baths, brushing, light nail care, and general pet hygiene. I also have experience with puppies, helping young dogs learn basic routines and good habits with patience and positive reinforcement. I understand how important it is to keep pets on a consistent diet and exercise schedule, and I always prioritize their comfort, emotional well-being, and safety. Whether I’m walking, feeding, or just hanging out with your pet, I care for them like they’re my own. I have the flexibility to provide attentive and reliable pet care every day after 2:30 PM. This gives me plenty of time to focus on your pet’s needs—whether it’s feeding, exercise, grooming, or simply spending quality time together. I’m dedicated to maintaining a consistent routine, so your pet will receive regular care and attention without feeling rushed. Whether it’s daily walks, playtime, or just companionship, I’m here to make sure your furry friend feels happy and loved while you’re away. When caring for pets in my home, I create a calm, safe, and loving environment where each animal feels comfortable and well-attended. I follow their specific routines for feeding, exercise, and play, ensuring they get plenty of attention and affection throughout the day. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I respect their space and household rules, maintaining consistency with their usual schedules for feeding, walks, and rest. I make sure to keep the home secure and clean, and I provide updates to the owner so they feel confident their pet is well cared for. In both settings, I prioritize the pet’s well-being, comfort, and happiness, treating each one like family.
