What is life without a pet's love?

Pet care experience

I have worked with animals both as a veterinary assistant in a clinic and as a caretaker at Seattle and Phoenix Humane Societies. There is nothing more important to me than an animal's well-being; my dogs are my life and taking care of your pet is just as important to me because I not only love them just for being them, but I understand how stressful it can be when trusting someone else with your pet. They're not just a pet - they are family!

Branda does such a great job with our dog, she obviously cares very deeply and gives great updates to keep our mind at ease.

First time using Rover, and Branda was great. She kept us updated on how our dog was doing, sending pictures throughout our stay. She was professional, ontime, and cared very much about our pet. We would certainly use her again.

Branda is easy to connect with...I enjoy getting the updates from her with her humorous comments along with the photos. She has heart for any pup that comes in her care so she's really wonderful and if anyone asks who I would recommend, I will say Branda! :) #champdogsitter

Branda did such a wonderful job keeping Daphne happy and healthy. We came home from a weeklong trip to a very happy pup! Thank you!

Safety, trust & environment

I have a large-ish fenced yard which the dogs have complete access to and a secured gate so they cannot get out. There is a large deck to hang out on, an outdoor couch when the weather is right, and plenty of places to chill both inside and outside. The dogs are allowed on all furniture and there are pillows everywhere for max comfort. It is quite the doggy heaven if your dog likes lounging around in different areas. For those looking for daycare or overnight boarding, the last few pictures are of our living space. We live in the bottom half of a house, so the backyard is ours completely and the gate to the yard is literally our front door. Plenty of safe space both inside and out, depending on what your pup prefers.

Information Branda D. would like to know about your pet

I would like to know what kind of socialization him or her prefers. Do they love playing with others, one-on-one, or simply solo? What are their favorite activities? What are their fears or triggers?

A typical day

I live near Lake Chabot, so there are plenty of both on and off-leash (animals are only allowed off-leash with owner approval) park adventures to be had in the area. If your pup loves to play fetch, we have plenty of space in the backyard, but all park adventures include ample opportunities as well. If you have specific activities you would prefer or not prefer, please let me know!

I wake up and take my dogs to the park, we take a break at home for a bit before heading out again to the park for another adventure. I do work part-time in the evenings, but as soon as I get home, we go for a walk. They are out and about at least 3 times a day, but sometimes more, especially on the days that I don't work (Tuesday/Thursday/Saturday)
