Pet care experience
Pet Care and Housesitting Experience (18 Years): With over a decade of dedicated pet care and housesitting experience, I travel all over the world to housesit, and I have developed a deep understanding and genuine love for both animals and providing a comfortable, secure environment for homeowners. Throughout the years, I have had the privilege of caring for a wide variety of pets, including dogs, cats, birds, fish, and small mammals. My approach to pet care is centered around building strong relationships with the animals I look after. I take the time to understand their unique personalities, preferences, and routines, ensuring that they feel safe, loved, and well-taken care of in their owner's absence. From feeding and grooming to exercise and playtime, I am committed to maintaining a consistent and nurturing environment that meets each pet's individual needs. In addition to pet care, I am also well-versed in housesitting responsibilities. I understand the importance of home security and take great care in maintaining a clean, organized, and secure living space. I am diligent in following any specific instructions provided by homeowners, such as handling mail, watering plants, and ensuring the overall well-being of the property. Reliability, trustworthiness, and clear communication are the cornerstones of my services. I strive to provide homeowners with peace of mind, knowing that their beloved pets are in capable hands and their homes are being well-cared for during their absence. I am happy to provide references from previous clients who have appreciated my professionalism, attention to detail, and genuine love for animals. In summary, my 18 years of pet care and housesitting experience have equipped me with the skills, knowledge, and compassion necessary to provide exceptional care for your beloved pets and maintain the security of your home. I've been assisting my friends/clients with their pets for either a few days or several months. I have traveled across the country to assist in need. I am able to provide assistance on short notices. I am dedicated to ensuring an stress-free experience for both you and your furry family members, allowing you to enjoy your time away with confidence and peace of mind.
Reviews
Brandy provides thorough and loving care to your critters when you need to be away. We are so grateful for the gentle care she provided our kitties (and the chicken care too)! Brandy also provided oral and topical meds for our older cats. We highly recommend her.
Brandy is now my Rover person of choice. She was early to pick up Sophie; gave her a fun yet rigorous workout. And, when she came back, Brandy ensured her paws were clean so she didn't track mud into the house. Sophie adores her as do we. She's the best.
Brandy is truly the best person I can imagine to entrust with the care of your beloved furry family members. Our aging Labradoodle, (aka "Doodlebug) and now, our Goldendoodle pup (aka "Sophie Mae") both have thrived under Brandy's extraordinary love and care. With Doodle, Brandy excelled at caring for our aging dog, ensuring her walks, her feedings, and her grooming were all attended to accordingly. And, as Doodle neared the end of her life, Brandy's empathic attention and care made a qualitative difference in our support for Doodle as well. With Sophie Mae, Brandy has demonstrated her skill at caring for a special needs dog, as Sophie has chronic gastrointestinal challenges and must follow a strict regimen of medication and diet to ensure her well being. Under Brandy's watchful eye and detailed implementation of her dietary demands, Sophie's health has never missed a beat and she adores her Aunt Brandy as one of the family. Believe me, my husband and I will never kennel our dogs and we will not leave them to anyone we don't know and trust wholeheartedly. It means the world that I trust Brandy to look after my babies and I can sleep while away knowing they're safe in her care.
Brandy has stayed at our home with our precious dog and cat for over two years and she is an incredible person and caretaker. We always feel fully confident in her presence while we are away and know that she understands our furry babies, our own dynamics in how we like them and our home taken care of, and always feel secure in that everything is being handled with care and attention to detail when she is here. Brandy has an incredible aura and is a delight to be around. Our pets absolutely adore her, as do we. She is a dependable, trustworthy, kind, and generous person who will do anything she can for the ones she is taking care of. We put our full trust in her.

Safety, trust & environment
When it comes to the well-being of pets, my approach is rooted in three core principles: safety, trust, and a nurturing environment. I believe that by prioritizing these aspects, I can provide the best possible care for our furry companions. Safety is paramount in my pet care practices. I am meticulous in ensuring that the environment is free from hazards and potential risks. From securing gates and doors to removing toxic substances from their reach, I take proactive measures to create a safe space where pets can thrive. Building trust is essential for a positive pet-caretaker relationship. I take the time to establish a bond with each animal, understanding their unique needs, preferences, and behavioral cues. By being patient, gentle, and respectful, Tho I do realize some pets can have a human personality, so I do tend to treat them as children. I earn their trust and create an environment where they feel safe and secure. I also maintain consistency in their routines, ensuring that they feel comfortable and at ease in their daily activities. Creating a nurturing environment is crucial for the overall well-being of pets. I provide ample love, attention, Reiki, and affection, recognizing that each animal has their own individual personality and emotional needs. Regular exercise and mental stimulation are incorporated into their daily routines to promote physical health and mental stimulation. In addition to direct pet care, I am also mindful of the larger environment in which they reside. I strive to minimize their ecological footprint by utilizing eco-friendly products and practices. I am committed to creating a sustainable environment that promotes the well-being of both pets and the planet. By embodying the values of safety, trust, and a nurturing environment, I provide a holistic approach to pet care. I am dedicated to ensuring that pets under my care receive the highest level of attention, compassion, and respect. Their safety, well-being, and happiness are my top priorities, allowing pet owners to have peace of mind knowing that their beloved companions are in capable hands.
