Highlights
Pet care experience
Experienced with many types of dogs
I'm a lifelong dog lover and owner. I was a weekly volunteer at the Evanston Animal Shelter in the Chicago area so I have experience handling and walking dogs of all sizes and breeds. I have three dogs in my home, and last Winter fostered a momma Chihuahua and her litter of 7 so I have a LOT of puppy experience. I’ve had a deaf dog in the past so I am also experienced with special needs dogs. I have a fairly flexible schedule, and I’m around most of the time so I can accommodate most schedules. I know it can be stressful to leave your pups for any amount of time, but they will be well taken care of while you're away. I’m more than happy to provide updates by text or email as needed.
Qualifications
Pets
Safety, trust & environment
If they are staying at my house, I have a fenced backyard and lots of room for them to run around. They are always supervised when playing with my dogs. My dogs are dog and people friendly and they are used to being introduced to new dogs. If providing care at your home, I am there to provide care for the pets so they will receive lots of attention. Can provide local references if needed.
Ratings and reviews
Great dog sitter. Sent pictures during each visit and truly cared about my dogs. Will book again!
Brandon did a great job, and was so easy to work with. Would absolutely recommend
Brandon is trusted with every dog at the shelter he volunteers at. He is reliable, trustworthy, and any owner can feel confident and relieved knowing that Brandon is the one caring for their dog. He takes the time to get to know each individual dog and alters is handling style to better suit that animal. If they're reactive to dogs/strangers/anything, he finds quieter routes where the dog can actually enjoy the walk. He would be a great addition to your team
Brandon has been volunteering with me at the Evanston Animal Shelter for several years. He and his wife Vanessa are two of the most caring and compassionate people I know. As volunteers at the shelter, our shifts consist of walking the dogs, feeding, administering medicine, training, cleaning, and so much more. As a city shelter, we accept all different sizes and breeds of dogs, and Brandon is able to comfortably handle all of them. He also works as an adoption counselor during the week, helping potential adopters find their perfect doggie match. Brandon has fostered several dogs for the shelter, including an older partially blind/deaf dog, and a mama dog with her newborn puppies. His experience at the shelter has given him the opportunity to work with all different kinds of dogs and behaviors, both good and bad, so he is prepared for just about anything! Brandon has 3 adorable dogs at home, all of whom are perfectly spoiled, and I know he will take the same great care of any dogs that are under his charge.

Schedule
I have three dogs of my own so pet care is a big part of my daily routine. My schedule is flexible which allows me to care for different pets and accommodate a variety of pet owner needs and drop in schedules.
