Availability

My house-sitting routine is set to ensure your pet receives consistent, attentive care throughout the day. On weekdays, I provide morning care before heading to work (which begins at 8:00 AM in Chula Vista). Depending on my route, I’m typically available again between 1:00 PM and 5:00 PM. After work, I return to spend a few hours feeding, caring for, and giving your pet plenty of attention. I then briefly check in on my own pets before coming back to your home for the evening and overnight care. On weekends, I have greater flexibility. I am available every Saturday and every other Sunday, allowing me to dedicate even more time and attention to your pet’s needs.

Safety, trust & environment

Caring for your pet is both a joy and a responsibility I take seriously. While you’re away, they’ll be treated like one of my own—with lots of love, attention, and care. I like to follow a detailed care sheet outlining your pet’s usual routine so I can mirror it as closely as possible, helping them feel comfortable and at ease in your absence. You can also expect plenty of adorable updates, and I’m always available if you or I have any questions along the way.

Information Brandee R. would like to know about your pet

I would want to know if the dog is friendly. As long as they are, I am good with whatever breed of dog. If I had to have a preference it would be a beagle since that was my childhood pet.

A typical day

I care for pets by creating a fun, safe, and engaging environment tailored to their needs. This can include plenty of cuddles, approved treats, supervised time in a secure outdoor space, and interactive brain games to keep them mentally stimulated and happy. I'm also totally okay to be a couch potato and watch Netflix with them as well! :)

I volunteered at my animal shelter

Pet care experience

Having 4+ years of volunteering at my animal shelter has given me the experience to handle various kinds of dogs and their personality traits. I primarily bring them out in the play yards to get their daily exercise so to do this outside the shelter would be like my ideal day of never ending fun. On my free-time I like to research dog breeds and learn anything dog-related. I also love to run my dog blog on instagram. I would like to commit at least 3 days of full-time availability. Nighttime hours (6-11PM) is probably my preferred time because I'm almost always available then. Dogs deserve the exercise and love they need while their owners are away and I'll do my best to make make sure they get it.

Brandee is the absolute best! She replied to my booking so fast. Eventhough she wasn't available for the entire booking, she actively searched for friends who could help. Other sitters just turned down the request, or didn't reply. We agreed on some days that would work. The request was to care for tiny, sick, shelter kittens. The job was not easy, it involved an application to the animal shelter, wearing full protective gear, coordinating with the foster coordinator, and then caring for sick kittens. She handled it like a pro! She found her way in and worked with the kittens and even sent pictures. I highly recommend her as a pet sitter!

Branded provided amazing care for our two dogs and had great communication during the entire stay which was great. We look forward to using her again in the future.

My chihuahua became sick the day I was leaving the country for a two week trip, suffice it to say I was worried and considering cancelling. Brandee reassured me that she would take good care of my Minnie and offered to give her the antibiotics she needed to cure her stomach bug. I received daily photo updates that showed me that not only was my girl feeling better, she was living it up! Brandee also tried several feeding techniques to get my girl to gain a little weight back and now she actually gets excited to eat (a little hot water in the dry food, so simple!). I would recommend her to anyone, any time, and will absolutely be using her again next time I go out of town.

Brandee is the BEST. I hesitated to write this because I don’t want anyone to steal her, but I’m not selfish and maybe it’ll send some good karma my way. My dogs can be difficult with strangers, but she’s so patient and sweet with them- she’s an obvious dog lover. She sends picture updates if you want, follows directions for pups perfectly, and even lets my dog sleep with her (one of them has severe separation anxiety) without a complaint. She always stays at my house which is awesome for my dogs, cleans up after herself, and is polite and respectful. As long as you don’t want her on the same weekend as me (haha), I highly recommend her for all your dog walking/dog sitting needs. a bonus: she takes REALLY good pictures of the dogs! Not sure how she makes them do what she does. She’s awesome and we love her. :)
