Information Brandy D. would like to know about your pet

I am comfortable with large breeds or pets with special needs. I am comfortable caring for small animals too. Reptiles, rodents and anything in between. Just leave clear instructions and I’ll take care of it.

A typical day

I am up for brisk walks or a slow stroll. We can play fetch or just do belly rubs. I am able to work on basic commands with young pups too.

Pet care experience

I have been caring for cats and dogs for over 35 years. I have a medical background and can give oral medication as well as meds delivered by needle. I am comfortable around all dogs- have trained puppies and cared for seniors. I am fluent in cat and their culture. I will love them like they are my own.

Very happy with communication to us and care provided to our kitty. We felt very comfortable knowing Brandy was coming to care for our kitty!

Ok, story time. Brandy is AMAZING. Punctual, good vibe with the cats, already a 5 star sitter. THEN. Our 19 year old kitty passed away two days after we went out of town. Brandy then became the Super Mega Sitter. She contacted us, took the kitty to the vet (we were 900 miles away), gave our other cat extra pets, and generally gave us the amazing peace of mind that both our cats were being taken care of in the way they needed. It was an awful thing to have happen while we were away, but Brandy made it a little less awful. I don’t have enough positive things to say. Nine hundred stars.

Each sitter joining Rover needs to pass a background check. And by booking on Rover, you can get photo & message updates, 24/7 support, and reimbursement for eligible vet care.
