Pet care experience
I’m a huge animal lover with lots of experience caring for every age of dog, as well as training them. I like to provide a loving and safe home away from home because I know the anxiety that can come with being separated from their people and environments. My son is very calm and sweet to all animals, he understands to give them space, and how to play with them in a gentle manner. House training and basic obedience skills are easily taught here. We have a calm environment, and plenty of space to roam and play. I'm available any time, even last minute. I stay at home full time, so there is constant supervision over pets that would be in my home. If you have any questions for me I'd love to hear from you! I work at home full time, on my own schedule and time. Only time I leave home is for the grocery, yoga/gym. If I need to make a long errand, my partner is ready and able to keep a check of any pets in the home. I keep a crate for dogs, (x-large dogs may need to bring a crate if they're being kept at my home) for their safety at any point that they aren't being supervised. I make sure toxic products are kept tucked away and out of reach, and no food is left unattended ****Due to persistent behavior, aggression issues, and lack of training, I cannot accept doodle breeds. I apologize for the inconvenience.**** Full time sitter, so I'm always available to let them out on an as needed/structural basis. We are also routine oriented, so getting into a rhythm with pets is always pretty easy to do. Care as prescribed in home visits, in my home we do morning pee, eating, morning poop/walks. There's about 30 minutes to an hour of training time to work on struggling behavior as well (Counter surfing, leash pulling, barking, command response, etc). Everyone takes a nap midday, and then a walk again soon after that. Walks after are on an as needed basis until about 6pm. food is given between 6:30/7, and then walks for about 30 minutes and playtime in the fence depending on individual behavior to fenced yards. 9pm is bedtime!
Reviews
Brandi is a great dog sitter! Super easy to work with and she showed my baby Queen a lot of love. Queen can be a little wild, so it’s always nice having someone who enjoys her craziness. Brandi is very easy to communicate with and always kept me updated with pictures and activities throughout the day. She even gave Queen food to try when she wouldn’t eat hers. I recommend Brandi and fully trust her with my baby anytime she is needed!
Brandi was super accommodating and patient with our pups! We needed very last minute accommodations because some plans fell through and Brandi was able to help out and take great care of our girls. One of our dogs gets anxious and apparently was super stressed that we left her and Brandi worked with her to get her to calm down a little. Great experience
Brandi is very good I never felt worried about my dog
Brandi was exceptional in taking care of Chief. She was diligent and caring towards dogs. She was also very flexible with timings and kept providing frequent updates about Chief. I would happily go again if I have to drop Chief to take care of in my absence. Thanks Brandi

Information Brandi D. would like to know about your pet
let me know if they are nervous walkers, not totally house trained, or have specific cues on their needs. Any favorite blankets or toys are also great tips. I cannot accept doodle breeds at this time. I apologize in advance.
A typical day
We have a creek/pond with a walking area, and I like to go on hikes pretty regularly. I have a ton of experience hiking with pets, so I always find enjoyment with that. There's also dog parks nearby for entertainment if they are comfortable/trained for that
