Confident Care for All Breeds
I’ve cared for dogs of every size and temperament: from excited, jumping Labs and gentle Goldens to strong, protective breeds like German Shepherds. Growing up with large dogs in my family taught me early on how to combine confidence with patience and a sense of fun! Every dog has its own rhythm, personality, and way of communicating. I take the time to carefully follow special instructions, read their cues, always lead with kindness and patience, and make each walk or overnight stay a positive, comfortable experience. My theatre background helps me stay focused and grounded, bringing a calm, reliable presence to every interaction. Whether your dog needs a slow, steady walk or high-energy playtime, I adapt to their needs and keep them safe, happy, and heard.

Safety, trust & environment
I care for every pet and home with the same respect and attention I’d want for my own. I double-check doors, gates, and leashes, and I stay aware of surroundings during walks to avoid any stressful encounters. My background as an actor has made me mindful, communicative, and detail-oriented—skills that translate directly into responsible, compassionate care. I also value keeping pet parents updated: I provide regular messages and photos so you always know how your pet is doing. Animals respond to calm, steady energy, and I strive to be that reliable presence they can relax around and trust completely.
Ratings and reviews
Braden is the best pet sitter, we are always happy to have him care for our little buddies!
Braden did a good job of looking after my dogs while I was away! He was very patient and got to know their comfort levels and I’m glad they got along as well! When I returned home, the house was very tidy and my dogs looked very happy and healthy as well.
Braden was just who I was looking for to take care of our boy, Jasper, when we went on vacation. He took good care of him and it was clear Jasper enjoyed his time with him. I highly recommend Braden next time you need someone to look after your fur baby. We will definitely be booking him again in the future.
Braden is always wonderful to have as a sitter, he is so fast to reply and cares for our pets so well. He is so great at taking care of everything in our home while we are away.
Amazing dog walker! My girl loves him. He’s very kind, good communication, very accommodating and has such a good vibe with my pup.
My dog gets so excited to see him, he has great communication, very personable and kind, clearly cares for my girl very much and enjoys his time walking with her!

Schedule
I am a professional theatre artist in the local Saskatoon community and whenever I’m off-contract, my schedule is very flexible. I’m currently available for walks, drop-ins, or overnight stays seven days a week and I am often free on short notice. I live near Saskatoon’s Broadway and University areas and can meet pets wherever they’re most comfortable—whether that’s their favourite park, a familiar route, or right at home. I plan my days around the animals I’m caring for, so you can count on consistency and clear communication. If your schedule changes or you need last-minute help, I do my best to adjust. My goal is to make your experience as smooth and stress-free as possible, for both you and your pet.
