Hi, my names Brandon. I grew up in the Sacramento area before moving to Oklahoma>Alaska for the military. Anyone who knows me knows my passion and love for all animals. It was always my dream to be a Veterinarian and while life circumstances led that to no longer be an option, I still want to help people care for their animals... My pet care experience first begins when I was about 10 years old and we got our first dog (and then a second a few years down the road). It was my sister and I's responsibility to bathe, feed, walk, clean up after and take care of our dogs. I was also very active in the training of our dogs, going to classes and learning how to properly handle and work with our dogs (one of which was highly dominant and aggressive). As a young adult I volunteered for a few years at a local animal shelter feeding, cleaning and the walking the dogs there. I also worked closely with a dog at the shelter who had some behavioral issues that needed to be worked on in order to help him get adopted. On top of my experience handling, being around and taking care of dogs, I have several years experience in house/pet-sitting. While living in Oklahoma I had several people for whom I would take care of their animals (mostly dogs at this point), a few of these pets needed extra medical care so I have experience in giving medications as well as in administering IV fluids. I love dogs (and cats) of all shapes and sizes and do have experience handling larger breeds. Any dog that is in my care is treated and cared for as if s/he were my own. You will never have to worry about a lack of love, care or attention while you are away.
