Medic who 💕 the critters😻🐶

Pet care experience

Hi, I’m Branden and I love 🐶 and 😸! I earned my masters from the University of Washington (Entrepreneurship and International Affairs) and have done a major career pivot to pet care as my full time career — and I love it! I am professional pet sitter with a long history of providing worry-free pet and home care. You’re paying for peace of mind and professionalism. With me, you’ll never have to second guess or double check to confirm… if I say I’m going to do something I will do it. I am a veteran of the Ukraine war — serving as a humanitarian and medic volunteer —and I strive to take that same mindset of discipline, integrity and professionalism into my dog walks and pet sitting. I look forward to walking - and definitely petting - your dog, cat, or whatever other animal you may have. **I have sipped whiskey at a Seattle bar next to a man who brought his pet goat** Feel free to reach out to me if you have any questions or need additional information. I’m open to longer hikes and walks with the dog, as well as sitting and occasionally boarding. As a professional pet sitter I understand I am not the cheapest option, but you will never have to worry if I don’t show up or give lackluster attention to your home and pets. - Branden

We were a little nervous to use Rover for the first time & trust someone in our home with two big dogs. We hit the jack pot with Branden! We truly feel so grateful for the way he cared for our pets & space. Having a trusted pet sitter has been a huge relief. The boys can’t wait for his next visit!

Again, fantastic care of my cats. My normally very shy cats have really taken to Branden, coming out to say hi, get attention and love, and play. This is a great tribute to Branden's calm and pet-friendly demeanor. Everything was perfect!
