Pet care experience
My earliest childhood memory is meeting my childhood dog, Lacy the miniature schnauzer, at the age of 2. I have been a pet owner my entire life and have always been the go-to dog sitter for friends and family. There's something about nurturing a bond with a new dog that brings me so much joy. Not to mention! Not only do you get myself as a guardian, but you also get my partner Molly and her sister Aileen. Together as a team, we are able to maintain a high level of consistency, attention, safety and of course, FUN! We're always willing to go the extra mile to make sure your dog feels at home and that you are always tuned in to how they're doing :) (we understand how it feels to leave your furry family member with someone who isn't you and wanting to check-in to make sure they're thriving and happy) We have alot of experience clipping dog toe nails (training from a veterinarian) and do so without any pain or bleeding. We are patient and know how to ease dogs that may be frightened or anxious.
Reviews
Brandon and Molly are the BEST! I am so thankful I found them for our last minute trip. They took on the responsibility of our kitten, Duke, and we received so many pictures and updates on her!!! We will definitely be requesting them for our next getaways!
This was our first rover experience and Brandon was wonderful. We have an active 1 year golden retriever and it was great to find not only a sitter in Brandon but playmate in his dog Piper for our Skipper! Skipper didn't want to leave :). Brandon was great in the pre-communication and kept us up to date during Skipper's stay with texts and pics. I highly recommend!!
Brandon was great, flexible and a good communicator. Would definitely use him again.
Great last minute service and care. My dogs were happy and content when I brought them home so I think they had a pretty good day.

Safety, trust & environment
We have a large, clean house with space to run and play, an open yard where we supervise outside time, and can easily crate your dog if needed. We would love to bring your dog along for our runs and hikes! If your dog needs to be leashed, we have a torso belt for just the occasion :)
Home
Information Brandon S. would like to know about your pet
Please let us know if your dog has any allergies or health concerns of any kind so we can prepare accordingly. If your dog doesn't spend much time away from you (COVID separation anxiety seems to be a tough one), their favorite toys and articles of clothing that smell like you do so much to calm nerves.
A typical day
We are an extremely active household and like to start the morning with 2-3 miles hiking or running. The perfect opportunity for your pup to chase some squirrels. In the evening, we like to go for the double whammy and go for another 2-3 mile hike or run. :) Your pup will have the best time, get into Iditarod shape, and get lots of time playing and running with other pups in a safe environment.

Availability
Molly and I work from home and Aileen works short shifts (gone from home for less than 5 hours), so we frequently get your pup out for walks and potty breaks. We are a highly active household so we typically start the morning with a run or hike, then get straight to breakfast (our favorite meal of the day). We have as many bathroom breaks and belly rubs as needed until evening when we get out for a second run or hike. Overall, our schedules are incredibly flexible and give us the opportunity to work with many different pick-up and drop-off times.
