Highlights
Pet care experience
Fur and Family
I began dog sitting on Rover way back in 2015 and have been caring for dogs since. I work with a wide variety of dogs in ages from puppies to seniors, but specialize the most with middle-aged and senior dogs as well as rescues and those who have dealt with significant trauma. Oldest dog I have ever taken care of is 17 years old. I am very kind and gentle with pets. I have experience working on pets as a Reiki and Flowtrition Practitioner. I am able, if you request, to do Reiki with your pets. This is done from a distance while they are in sight, hence helping them with whatever problems they are addressing. I am the kind of person who is calm, quieting, gentle and will encourage the pups to be the same way. They’ll often be chewing their toys or napping next to me while I am watching TV or playing games on the couch. At night I love to either sleep alone or with your pups, depending on theirs and your preference. During the day I am doing rideshare/Uber rides and also taking care of other dog sitting clients. These are clients who have asked for drop ins (no overnight care but visit dogs in their home during the day), dog walks, and check ins on cats. I am able to come by every 4-6 hours to check on your pets as needed until it’s time for me to go to bed. NOW OFFERING RIDES TO THE AIRPORT! Simply send me a screenshot of the Uber/Lyft you plan to take and I will do that, round trip, for the rate shown on the app.

Safety, trust & environment
Dogs gravitate towards my calmer nature almost immediately. It can take them a few minutes to settle down coming into the house but are content after a few minutes. In the first hour of a dog sitting I will often just unpack and settle on in while they are getting to know me. Or they will see me and want to be let outside. As time in a sitting goes on, I get a feeling of the separation anxiety your dogs are facing, if any. What matters is that they are invited to be with me when I am in your home. It’s why I offer to sleep with them. It’s why I make sure to be in the living room with them or have them nearby me. I try to leave on comforting music on the TV. I am not best for dogs who cannot be left alone for long periods (1-2 hours only). While I do offer continual hour care where I never leave the home it is at a price structure different than on here. If dogs are too hyper for walks, or it’s too hot outside. I will try to keep them as quick as possible for bathroom breaks.
Ratings and reviews
Brandon was excellent with our 3 dogs. He was consistent with his visits, communications and photos. Our dogs really took a liking to him and we felt comfortable in Brandon's care, even while we were very far away.
Awesome sitter. Cared well for my babies, very attentive, lots of pics and follow up. Brandon is awesome!
Brandon stayed with Mango for the first time recently and did a fantastic job!!! Mango can be standoffish around new ppl at first but Brandon was very patient w/her and let her go at her own pace which shows experience... After a couple of days she started warming up and decided to allow him into her circle...lol Brandon was great at corresponding & keeping me updated, he also sends lots of pix which I love... It was a pleasure getting to know Brandon & I will definitely be rebooking the next time we need a reliable sitter to watch after Miss Mango...
Brandon is very responsive and willing to spend time with the dogs. To make sure the dog are comfortable with him.
Brandon did great with our drop in visit. Arrived on time and communicated very well through out the visit. He followed our instructions for our dogs.
Great job with the dogs. Was very communicative and easy to reach.

Schedule
I am a full time dog sitter and I also do rideshare/Uber rides during the day. For context, I manage my own dog sitting business and may have clients who have booked me ahead of time. It’s always unpredictable when they’ll book so I will keep my calendar open, especially since my wife also helps me run the business. Please always feel free to check in with me and ask if I have availability. More often than not, the dog sitting rate for me is unlimited drop ins as needed for your pets’ care if I am not available to stay overnight due to other obligations from my businesses and apps. I stop responding to messages at 10 PM. I am available for messages and/or phone calls between 6’AM and 10 PM everyday. My time is also filled with scheduling meet and greets for new clients. I would like to get to a point where I schedule all my consultations one day a week but until then they are sporadically booked as needed. Please note I only schedule meet and greets up to 3 weeks before your sitting. I am able to come by and relieve your pets every 4-6 hours. This may be subject to change if they can go longer without bathroom or if they are able to go outside through a dog door. Sometimes I might run slightly late as I stay with one client a bit too long or what not; always plan on a buffer time if your pets have a super strict schedule.
