About: All my life, I’ve had a deep love and respect for animals. Throughout the years, I’ve had the privilege of interacting with species of all shapes and sizes—from dogs and cats to rodents and raptors, horses and parrots, even terrapins and cetaceans. For over a decade, I worked at an animal welfare and conservation nonprofit, helping rescue and rehabilitate animals displaced by natural disasters or conflict zones. I’ve also dedicated hundreds of hours to volunteering at a local wildlife rehabilitation center, where I tended to injured and orphaned animals, assisting in their recovery and release back into the wild. Countless family members, friends, and colleagues have entrusted me with their pets, knowing I would provide them with the attentive, compassionate support they deserve. Simply put, caring for animals isn’t just something I do—it’s who I am. When it comes to household pets, I have more than 15 years of hands-on experience caring for dogs of all ages, breeds, and temperaments. Whether it’s keeping up with an energetic puppy, providing gentle care for a senior dog, or tending to a pet with special needs that requires extra patience and attention, I tailor my approach to fit each dog's unique needs. I have experience with basic training, administering medications, and understanding canine body language to ensure a safe and comfortable environment. With my genuine connection to animals along with my extensive experience, I am fully committed to your pet’s well-being. You can count on me to provide reliable, high-quality care while treating your furry family member with the same love and attention I give my own. Whether your pup needs a fun playmate, a cuddle buddy, or a compassionate guardian, I’m here to help! Pet care is already a natural part of my routine. I have two dogs—Foxie, an eight-year-old street dog rescued from Romania, and Bailey, a 16-year-old Beagle mix who was rescued from an elderly couple no longer able to provide her with the specialized care she needs. I’m available both weekdays and weekends, allowing me to organize my schedule around you and your pet’s needs. Day to day, I have a flexible schedule, so I’m able to prioritize long walks and home visits. I currently work part-time from home, giving me plenty of time to provide your fur baby with attention and stimulation during daycare and boarding. When you book with me, you’ll have not just one, but two people dedicated to caring for your pet! My partner is just as much of an animal person as me. She also works from home, so even when I need to step out, someone will always be here to keep an eye on your pet. With us two, along with Foxie and Bailey, there will always be a full house with lots of socialization—ensuring your fur baby always has company and never feels lonely while you're away. Overall, my routine is highly adaptable, allowing me to offer reliable and consistent care for your pets, keeping them happy, healthy, and well-loved every day. Let me know what you need, and we’ll make it work! I’m also happy to arrange a meet-and-greet before a booking to ensure all of our furry friends feel comfortable and get along. Ensuring the safety, comfort, and happiness of every pet in my care is my top priority. For boarding and daycare services, I’m happy to care for dogs of all breeds, ages, and sizes, including multiple dogs at once. However, with my two dogs at home, your fur baby must get along with other dogs. I offer a pet-friendly environment with a large fenced-in backyard for play and exercise, several cozy dog beds for relaxation, a variety of toys for stimulation, and designated areas for feeding and water. At home, we don't enforce a strict "no pets on furniture" policy, so your fur baby is welcome to join us on the sofa or bed. Since we’re usually home, your dog won’t be kenneled for long periods, and even when we leave, we won’t kennel them unless needed for their well-being or if they’re not well-behaved when unsupervised. Our home is situated in a spacious, enclosed neighborhood, perfect for long walks without heavy traffic, and we're also close to several parks to provide additional enrichment. Overall, I believe in striking the right balance when caring for your pet—closely supervising interactions to ensure a positive, stress-free experience while allowing enough freedom for their daily activities to feel natural and not overly restricted. When caring for a pet at a client’s home, I believe in maintaining their usual routine to minimize stress and help them feel comfortable in your absence. Whether it’s sticking to specific feeding schedules, encouraging regular exercise, administering medications as needed, or engaging in their favorite playtime activities, I carefully follow all instructions to provide consistency and stability. I treat each home with the utmost respect, keeping everything clean and secure, from locking up gates to monitoring the safety of outdoor areas. I also make it a priority to respect your belongings and privacy, ensuring your personal items are handled with care and never disturbed. Additionally, I’m happy to provide regular updates, including photos and videos, so you can have peace of mind knowing your pet is in good hands. My goal is to build trust with both pets and their owners, ensuring that both feel safe, at ease, and well cared for throughout the entire experience. Let me know how I can best accommodate your pet’s specific needs!

“Brenda and her family provide exactly what I was hoping for. Instead of being home all day by herself, my dog is taken care of by kind dog lovers. She also gets to socialize with another small dog. I can tell my dog enjoys being there. She runs right up to Brenda to greet her when we arrive. And when I pick her up, she is not desperate to leave. Highly recommend.”

About: I’ve taken care of dogs and cats for the last 18 years, since I was six years old! I understand that pets are members of the family, and I will treat your pets with care and compassion! I can walk, run, play or do whatever is necessary to make your pets happy! I work from home with flexibility, so I am available at most hours of the day to walk. In the evenings, I am free whenever for home stays. I can care for pets in my clients homes. There is a potential they can stay in my home for short stays as well, which is in a peaceful, residential neighborhood.

About: I've had dogs in my life for as long as I can remember, growing up with them and caring for many others in my neighborhood. From walking and feeding them to giving medicine, I've always been the go-to person for pet care. When I went away to the Army, I got my first dog, which deepened my love and understanding of animal care. Since then, I’ve continued to help watch and care for dogs, including looking after my sister’s dogs whenever she’s away on business. With my lifelong experience and love for animals, I’m dedicated to ensuring every dog I care for feels safe, loved, and well-looked after. I am a college student taking mostly online classes. I have a lot of free time throughout the day to check on your beloved pets! In my home, I have a crate and a large, unfenced backyard for playtime. I have plenty of dog toys to keep them entertained, and they’re always welcome on my furniture for cuddles and relaxation. While in your home, I’ll follow all of your rules to ensure your pet feels as comfortable and happy as possible, just like they would with you.
