Pet care experience
RELIABLE - ENERGETIC - CARING
Just moved to Austin and had to say goodbye to all my Chicago clients who I miss very much! I specialize in caring for large breeds who could perhaps be difficult for some to handle, but I’ve cared for dogs of all sizes, breeds, and personalities for over 12 years. Friends, family, and neighbors trust me to provide safe, dependable, and loving care while they’re away. I’m experienced with walks, feeding schedules, playtime, administering basic care, and keeping pets comfortable in their routine. I treat every pet like family and focus on making them feel safe, happy, and loved. I also provide regular photo/video updates so owners always have peace of mind while they’re away. Whether your dog loves long walks, playtime, or extra cuddles, I make sure they get personalized attention and care.

Safety, trust & environment
When hired for any overnight stay in a clients home, it's important to me that I am doing everything I can to alleviate any anxiety or worry that is often associated with leaving a pet behind. I don't take lightly the fact that I'm being entrusted with the safety and security of both your pet and your home. With every stay, I promise to keep your home clean and secure at all times. I am there to take things off your plate not to add to it, so any rule or preference you might have is valid and will be adhered to down to every detail. Pet owner's peace of mind and overall experience with me is every bit as important as providing your pet with comfort and security and companionship in their absence.
Ratings and reviews
Brandon is the definition of an animal person. My rescue dog is incredibly anxious and usually hides under the bed for days when anyone new comes over. I’ve literally never seen her warm up to anyone quickly, but she instantly bonded with Brandon. I was getting photo updates of them snuggled on the couch the very first night. My mind was blown! So sad he left Chicago!
Brandon used to housesit for me in the South Loop, and I cannot recommend him enough. He is incredibly respectful of your space. I’d always come home to a spotless apartment, plants watered, and a super relaxed pup. He’s just a genuinely good, trustworthy guy who actually gives the pets full attention instead of just sitting on his phone.
Brandon walked my goldendoodle for over a year when I lived near Lincoln Park, and he was an absolute lifesaver. My dog has crazy energy, but he always gave him a massive workout and sent the funniest text updates. It is so hard to find a walker in Chicago who is actually reliable through the winters, but Brandon never missed a day. So bummed he left the city.

Schedule
I am a pointed pen calligrapher and freelance graphic designer and have the luxury of making my own schedule. This allows me to be extremely flexible and available on short notice. So if your pet requires frequent walks/medicine or simply cant be left alone for any extended period of time, I'm your guy!
