Dropoff/Pickup - Close to Airport

Pet care experience

I've been a dog person ever since I was a kid and have always love spending time with them. I know firsthand how stressful it can be to be away from your best friend when you go on vacation, so I’m here to make that time easy and stress-free! Since my dog sleeps with me and I'm his whole world, I always had trouble leaving him in a kennel when I was out of town. When I started using Rover more frequently, I had the revelation that I was meant to be a sitter! When I bought my first house, I just knew it was time. Typically I won't be home during the day Mon- Fri due to work, but I’ll always dedicate my free time to dishing out as much love as I can. I usually take the dogs for a quick walk in the morning before I leave for work about 7, and then I'm home by 4:30 most days. I will take Andy and my dog, Dude, to the park if the weather is nice and wear them out a bit. I’m a sports fanatic, so I typically like to spend time with my pup (a 5-year-old Boxer named Dude) watching TV or have him accompany me when I go to play sports myself. Your dog will mostly love the attention and love they get from me. I love to stay active, so they'll get plenty of exercise during our stay. There are plenty of great places to head to in the neighborhood to explore, so we’ll make sure to get out of the house whenever possible. During the stay, I’ll also make sure to send regular check-ins by way of picture and text messages so you can know just how your best friend is getting along during our stay. My neighborhood is called Colorado Crossing. It’s a new build neighborhood and very family- and pet-friendly. My home is small, but plenty of space for me and a few dogs. My backyard is decent size, and littered with toys, but still clean and great for stretching our legs during the day. My house is very close to the airport, and I'm happy to negotiate pick up/drop off as well!

Brandon was wonderful to my dog Phineas, he didn't even seem like he wanted to go home after staying with Brandon! Phin is a bit older and receives medication, Brandon confirmed on multiple occasions everything was going great. He sent photos and updated us often. When we had some logistics issues getting home due to delayed flights, Brandon was extremely helpful and understanding about the situation. I will definitely be using Brandon again!

Penny absolutely loves her visits with Brandon and his pup. I know she is well cared for when she is there. I will definitely book with Brandon in the future.

Brandon took care of my 3-year old Shih Tzu for 8 days and was an ideal dog-sitter. He was able to accommodate my drop off/pick up times, and he sent pics and texts with updates on how Spencer was doing and gave me complete peace of mind that my pup was in great hands! Plus, Spencer had tons of fun playing with his boxer, Dude, and Brandon's other 'clients'. I think he was almost sad to leave! I would definitely recommend Brandon to anyone looking for a temporary home away from home for their dog!

Information Brandon D. would like to know about your pet

Please let me know your dogs feeding/medication/and bathroom needs. Are they crate trained, or are they well behaved left alone? I am open to most dog breeds, as long as there's no history of aggression. I'm pretty good with managing aggressive dog breeds too, I have an extra bedroom and dog gate to separate if doggy time outs are due.

A typical day

I take pups on trips to Zilker Park/Auditorium Shores almost daily. We'll play fetch in the backyard, and may even go to secret beach or Yard Bar for a social outing. If your dog likes too, I'll take em paddleboarding and swimming at Barton Springs. When I'm not home I leave the TV on for some added comfort. I'll also send regular pics so you can stay up to date on your pups vacation. My Boxer is excellent off leash and is very playful, so your pooch will always have a playmate. I can keep your pup on a leash or go to a fenced park if they're not so good off-leash. Puppies are welcome!
