2022 DSW Graduate / Pet Enthusiast
Pet care experience
HI! I am a 2022 Graduate of Algonquin's Developmental services worker program, currently career hunting with extensive background in behavioural psychology, ethics, inclusion, normalization, health and nutrition theory as well as practical application. (Though I cannot link directly to the course learning outcomes in the app they are available on the Algonquin website under 'Developmental Services Worker Program - Courses' tab.) I also have personal experience working with a variety or reptiles and amphibians, as well as rats, dogs, and cats and a 3 year old human, she would not be coming with me to work obviously, but she does definitely deserve a spot on the list of creatures I look after. My dog is a 9 year old mixed terrier named Mia, pictured in my display picture, as well as riding with me on various bikes around town. My scheduling goals for the time shared with your bestie will reflect your indicated exercise, feeding, socialization and learning goals, as well to respect and adhere to your animal's comfort and fitness level, to make the for best and most productive experience for everyone. Having just graduated Algonquin's DSW program I am available immediately to being visiting, walking, running or rolling with your animal anytime they are ready! I will be career hunting this summer and would prefer to not rush that, so in the mean time I would love to work with animals! Even once I do find my career I would definitely be interested in continuing working with anyone I happen to meet on here as best as my availability will allow, because I can't imagine ever wanting to not work with animals. I have a medium sized female rescue dog at home who is very friendly but also very case sensitive. She loves non aggressive cats however I don't think we are able to facilitate boarding of any animals except possibly in a real emergency situation at this time.
Reviews
I can't say enough about Brandon and his character, his love for dogs is unreal. Brandon is like the dog whisperer , He would provide safe, loving care to your dogs and great service. I have known Brandon for many years, he is the most trusting, caring , and smart person I have met. If you are interested in working with him - jump on this offer, there will be no regrets. Joanne J

Information Brandon J. would like to know about your pet
Important information I would need to know ahead of time includes medication and feeding expectations, any known allergies or sensitivities your dog has. It would also be beneficial to know your dogs likes, and dislikes, as well as any pertinent history (ie: if they are a rescue dog, if they have any triggers or if there is anything to watch out for. Although I do have lots of experience with dogs, everyone is different therefore as much as you can tell me ahead of time is great. Thanks!
A typical day
I am a very active person who takes my dog on cargo bike rides, walks to the beach, out for dinner on patios and even to work with me. That being said I am more than happy to walk, run, or play any games with your dog that will keep them entertained. Just let me know what your dog likes to do and I will strive to ensure that we make the most out of our time together! I am CPR and First Aid Certified, and I do have experience administering a variety of oral, dermal and transdermal medications to others (dogs as well as humans as I am trained as a support worker in a medical setting.)
