About: If this is your first booking with us, let us know and we can discount your booking for $20 per night. ************************************** When our dogs Buddy and Rocky passed away a few years ago we were heartbroken. My husband, Nathaniel and I love dogs and since then have found we love dog sitting! Even though we have a big fenced in yard, it's not the best for running because we have a garden. So, your little angel will always be supervised outdoors and spend most of their time indoors napping, playing and getting lots of attention. We love to send videos and pictures to mom and dad to make them feel comfortable and keep up with their baby's activities. We don't mind being texted, we know you miss your puppy dog. We like to meet potential clients before caring for your pet so you can see where they will be staying and answer your questions. We like to know your routine and house rules so your baby will feel at home. We make it a priority to treat your pet the way you do and keep up their training. You will read in the reviews that the pets we watch get excited when they drive up to our house. It's so sweet to see them run the full length of the house, jumping like Tigger, when they greet us! We don't open up our dates until a month in advance, so please contact us for availability and we can open that date on our calendar. We specialize in the harder to place dogs since we only take one dog family at a time. We welcome "dog aggressive" dogs, but not "people aggressive" dogs. Big working dog types are especially welcome. We have worked with a 100 pound slobbery Cane Corso Mastiff, an elderly German Shepherd, and many Staffordshire Terriers (pit bulls). It's not easy leaving a part of your family in someone else's care. We understand and hope to make it as easy as possible knowing they will be loved and pampered the way you would. See you soon! Nathaniel and April Inglewood, California OUR SCHEDULE I work at home and Nathaniel is retired, so we give your sweethearts lots of attention! I usually do the morning walk and feeding, and send a picture or two with an update to you. We share our time with them during the day and then Nathaniel walks them before bed. Your pet's safety is most important. If we find any cuts or sores, we text you immediately. Sometimes, the owner's forget to tell us, so we like to keep the lines of communication open. We won't walk them in the neighborhood if you ask us not to. Unless you specifically ask us not to, we only take your dog on supervised walks using a leash in the backyard.

About: I’ve absolutely adored animals since I was 4yrs old. I started getting educated on animals at a young age and knew my dream was to work with animals. I started my professional career in the industry in 2017. I worked at a dog daycare and boarding facility for a year, then moved on to a facility for dogs and cats, which I’ve worked at since 2018. Over the years at these facilities, I’ve learned about proper care, training and grooming techniques for dogs, and care for cats. I have plenty of experience working with different breeds of dogs from the smallest teacup poodle, to the chunkiest bulldog, to the biggest Great Dane. I’ve worked with many different breeds, sizes and personalities in large daycare groups, so I’ve learned how to manage different demeanors in different settings. With cats, I understand their boundaries and don’t like to force any interaction on them, but if they are comfortable with it I give them lots of love. I’ve also volunteered at a shelter for dogs, cats, birds, reptiles, and rodents. At the shelter, I focused on learning how to properly care for rodents and cats. *I don’t discriminate against any pet’s breed, size, age, medical condition, etc. I treat them all with the best care.* **I am able to dispense oral medication to pets if necessary. I AM NOT CERTIFIED TO GIVE INJECTION (NEEDLE INVOLVED) MEDICATION** I work in Gardena in the afternoon-evening Mon-Fri, but typically am home or close by during most of the day and on weekends. I tend to stay local when running errands. My apartment is gated and a code or key is needed to enter the premises. We have a large grass area right out front, which is not gated. There’s plenty of grass and parks in the neighborhood to go to during walks. My apartment is on the second floor with the luxury of having the parking garage underneath me, so your pet running around the house won’t disturb anyone! I stay alert and aware of my surroundings at all times for safety purposes. I have multiple rooms and gates to separate pets when necessary (feeding, bedtime, rest breaks…etc.) My pets are flea treated regularly and stay up to date on their vaccines. **IMPORTANT NOTICE BELOW!!! In order to keep my home a healthy and clean environment for all, IF PETS ARRIVE WITH FLEAS I require a $50-$100 cleaning fee AND a flea bath may apply with a MINIMUM charge of $38/pet bathed. I HIGHLY recommend flea treatments and checking your pets for fleas BEFOREHAND to avoid additional charges. ADDITIONALLY, if your pet causes any damages to my property there will be a MINIMUM charge of $25 for repairs/replacements.**

“Having Brandie as our pet sitter for our little Lavender was better than I could’ve ever imagined. Since Lavender is only 12 weeks old, she is a bit needy but Brandie made sure that all of her needs were met above and beyond. Since she is so young and doesn’t have her full vaccines yet, Brandie and her family made sure that Lavender was as safe as possible. It was such a relief knowing that our little baby was safe and comfortable. Also since Lavender has separation anxiety, it made me happy knowing that she wasn’t alone. Brandie sent frequent updates with photos throughout the day and made us so happy. We will definitely be using her and her family again to take care of our pup.”


“Haley went above and beyond. She was very communicative, proactive and thorough. She read and followed all my notes and gave detailed updates. I can tell she really cares about my furbaby. Highly recommend”

Care is solely based on your pets daily routines/needs. Im here to step in and maintain their routine while you are away. That includes play time, snuggles, special diets and even T continued training if needed.
