Love, Pets & Attention Guaranteed

Pet care experience

I have personally cared for pets for 12 years. I have 4 healthy dogs, three of which are seniors. I have loved, owned and cared for gerbils, rabbits, parakeets and bearded dragons. I have experience administering medication to dogs, cats and reptiles. This includes injections with syringes as well as oral and topical medication. I have no fear of big dogs. My big baby boy is 96 pounds. I have some grooming experience. I have had a pet Siberian Husky for many years and have to brush her, shave out her paw pads and clean her ears regularly. I am a very patient animal lover and will treat any fur, feathered or scaled baby like my own.

Safety, trust & environment

In Home: I have recently had a 4 bay dog kennel built on my property. (pictures in profile and video available upon request) The indoor kennel is 4x6 and the attached outdoor run is 4x10. The indoor area can have a plush dog bed or chew proof Kuranda bed depending on preference. I have a large fenced in yard that any boarding dogs will use. The fence does have an electrical shock box and wire attached to the top and bottom to deter fence climbers. I personally have a fur baby that could scale a vertical wall. My four dogs are friendly, but I do prefer to limit contact with clients dogs. To do this I do have two outdoor 10x10 kennels that I would use strictly to put my dogs in before allowing a clients dog in the large fenced area. I clean up and dispose of poo daily. I also have an extra large wire dog crate indoors if your fur bud needs to be crated inside my home. I have a cover for it if they need the added security. My couch is free game to all fur babies and is covered with pet proof covers to help with any messes. I have four dog beds scattered around my house as well. All food bowls, bedding, kennels and the crate are cleaned and sanitized between visits. Clients Home: I have around 6 years of babysitting experience from my college days. That experience includes caring for the pets of my clients as well as the two legged cuties (children). I am very respectful of space and personal property. You will never find a mess I have left behind or a job requirement unfulfilled. You may even find an extra step or two that I have helped with. In home care would depend on the needs you have for your pets. I am happy to help with any needs you have.

Information Brandi R. would like to know about your pet

Please let me know if your dog has any special needs such as medication, food, anxiety, or animal aggression. I aim to provide your baby with the best care possible and anything that is pertinent to their care will help me achieve the best level of care I can give.

A typical day

I love to go on little adventures! I walk the dogs around my neighborhood and check out the cool smells down the tree line. For the extreme fetch lovers I have a ball launcher. I also have many yummy treats and fun toys to play with! When it is hot out I break out the doggie swimming pool and we can go for a dip!
