Availability

I’m currently looking for pet care opportunities with a flexible and reliable schedule. I am available for morning, afternoon, and evening drop-in visits and dog walks on weekends and evenings after 4pm on the weekdays, and I do my best to accommodate both weekday and weekend requests. I understand how important consistency is for pets, so I aim to keep a dependable routine once I commit to a booking.

Safety, trust & environment

The safety, comfort, and well-being of each pet are my top priorities when providing care. In a client’s home, I follow all instructions closely to maintain the pet’s normal routine and environment, including feeding schedules, potty breaks, exercise, and any specific care needs. I make sure doors are securely closed, leashes are properly used during walks, and pets are always supervised during drop-in visits. I take the time to build trust with each animal at their own pace, especially if they are shy, anxious, or high-energy. I use calm, positive interactions and pay close attention to body language to ensure they feel safe and comfortable. I also keep pet parents updated with messages and photos so they can feel confident their pet is being well cared for while they are away. My goal is to provide reliable, attentive care that keeps pets safe, happy, and stress-free in their familiar environment.

Information Brandi J. would like to know about your pet

Let me know if your pet needs any special treatment such as medications and if they have any aggression issues I should beware of or anything else you’d like to share! I’m open to all breeds as well :)

A typical day

A typical day caring for pets depends on their routine and needs, but I always focus on keeping them safe, comfortable, and happy. For dogs, I start with a calm greeting, then take them on a structured walk for exercise and mental stimulation. I also include playtime like fetch or tug if they’re interested and have energy to burn. For cats, I make sure they have fresh food and water, clean litter boxes, and spend time playing with toys or giving attention based on their personality. I always follow the owner’s instructions closely and adjust care based on each pet’s comfort level. I also provide updates and photos so pet parents feel confident while they’re away.

Brandi is so kind! She checked on our 3 kitties while we were away and while they didn’t come out much for her she made sure they were happy and fed!

Brandi has been walking our dog twice a week for several weeks now and I am so glad we have her! She is ALWAYS on time and communicates regularly. Her updates after the walk are the highlight of my day - lots of pictures and details as to how our pup did! She is able to handle our 60 pound, hyper doodle with no problem. She is trustworthy, she lets herself in and out of our house and I have never had a concern with her doing so. Highly recommend Brandi!
