Highlights
Pet care experience
Happy Pets Happy life!
I recently received my Pet Sitter Certification from IAP Career College and have over ten years of experience working professionally with animals. From 2011 until 2013 I entered the pet services industry as a volunteer at the CSRA Humane Society. The Humane Society is the only non-profit no kill shelter in our community. While volunteering, I would visit and play with both the cat and dog residents. My duties at the Human Society consisted of giving tours of the facility, assisting with donations, walking and brushing the cats and dogs, and catching the staff up on washing food and water bowls. From 2013 until 2014, they hired me as a cat caretaker, in which left me in charge of taking care of almost 200 cats at any given time. I left the Humane Society to start pet sitting for friends and family members. I have experience in taking care of a variety of dog and cat breeds. I began doing home visits and drop-ins in 2015 and have since added overnight stays to my list of services. My pet customers love me and I care for them as I care for my own.
Qualifications
Safety, trust & environment
Trust is important and I am very honest and trustworthy. Before working with a pet I like to learn what it is the owner would like for me to do if keeping the pet in his or her own home and the safety precautions I should be aware of. I am also very up front and honest and can be relied on to do the job the way it needs to be done. I also have no problem letting my client know if the ability to work with a pet with special needs or care is outside my scope of knowledge. I ask my clients to keep a list of emergency numbers (such as Veterinarian) when I am on an overnight pet sitting stay. When taking pets for a walk, I always keep a portable water bowl and bottled water with me to keep the pet hydrated while being active. I am not certified in CPR, but my goal is to be certified within the next 3 months.
Ratings and reviews
Brandt was amazing with our two pups. Right away our two could sense he was a great animal caretaker. He was great at sending updates and letting us know how it was going. Plenty of pictures. Overall great experience for dog parents and the dogs. Thanks Brandt!
Brandt did an excellent job house sitting and pet sitting for us! He asked all the right questions and even stuff I didn’t think about. He sent lots of pictures of our dog and went out of his way to make our senior dog feel well loved and taken care of! Our dog requires meds twice a day, needs to be let out to potty often, and loves lots of attention and snuggles. Brandt did a great job of making sure he was taken care of. Our dog, Dabo, took right to him! He even left a sweet gift for Dabo with treats and toys. Brandt was a great communicator and very respectful. We highly recommend Brandt and will definitely book again!
Brandt took wonderful care of our two cats! We had issues with our water while we were away, and Brandt was kind to offer to water over for them. We appreciated the updates throughout the weekend and his extra attention to our playful kitten! Brandt is very attentive, kind, and his love for his work and animals is very clear -- we would recommend him as a pet sitter to anyone!
Brandt did a great job and our dog loved him! He was kind, respectful, and clearly had a lot of experience being around dogs.
Great communication and took care to u destined my dogs needs.
Brant was amazing with our dogs. They took to him immediately. Even our anti social dog loved him. Brandt kept me informed of all the goings on throughout the day and plenty of pictures. I highly recommend him and will use him again.

Schedule
I have made pet care a full-time job and will book only the number of pets I can see in one day in order to stay on schedule. I am also flexible so that I can meet the needs of my clients. I can be counted on to always be on time which I think is important to keep the pets I serve on their routine.
