Brandon showed up and stayed late to get our pup inside when she refused to come in. He did not do a good job of following our instructions (even when we were on camera talking to him) and seemed to struggle with thinking logically about where to be to assist a scared dog in coming in the home. Example; he would go to the end of the hallway in full view of our back door to wait for our dog who was reactive with him to come inside so when she came to the door she saw him and ran back out. This was during a cold snap with negative temperatures. We needed to call a friend to have them assist with getting the dog in. For the other two, he did well, gave treats, and showed up at the times agreed but if you have a pup that is at all nervous around strangers I would recommend considering another sitter.

Brandon has been a trusted caregiver for our dog, Luka, whenever we travel. With a background in fostering dogs, he’s incredibly comfortable with a wide range of breeds and temperaments. He’s especially great with our high-energy German Shorthaired Pointer, regularly taking him to the local dog park for exercise and play. Luka always comes home happy, well-exercised, and relaxed—which gives us total peace of mind. Brandon’s genuine love for animals and calm demeanor makes him a great choice!
