Zookeeper by day, sitter by night.

Pet care experience

I've never known a day where I did not have a pet in my life. Animals have had such an impact on me, that now I can happily say I work full time for them. I'm currently a zookeeper at the National Aviary, where I take care of a wide variety of birds, bats, and even a sloth. As wild as that sounds, there's never a dull moment at my home either. My wife and I have a dog, two cats, a turtle, and a mouse. For many years, my family and friends have enrusted me with the care of their pets knowing that they'd be in good hands. From zookeeper by day, to petsitter by night, no job is too wild!

We worry about the day Brandon is unavailable to check in on our cats. He goes above and beyond, communicates well, and we always look forward to the pictures. Thank you!

My dog loves visits from Brandon because he spends a lot of time playing with her. Highly recommend.

TL;DR, Brandon is great! He dropped in twice daily to feed, water, and play with our two cats (and scoop the litter) while we were abroad. He did a great job of making sure they had all the essentials, plus some TLC. Our more skittish cat surprised us and by the end of it we were getting pics of the cat in his lap. We looked forward to the updates and pictures throughout our trip and overall just had a big weight lifted to know they were in good hands.

With a zoo of our own at home, my wife and I care for our 10 year old poodle mix, Zowie, our two cats, Nox and Mojo, our turtle, aptly named Turtle, and our mouse, Midge. Having a wide range of domestic fauna in our household, there's a great deal of individualized care our family requires daily. I look forward to learning and adapting to your pets needs to give them as excellent of care as I would want for my own.
