PAWSITIVELY GREAT PET CARE

Pet care experience

Hello! I've been pet-sitting for 7+ years, but have spent my entire life surrounded by the small and furry. I have a wide variety of experience including reptiles, rodents, exotic or uncommon pets, rabbits, dogs, cats, etc. I'm a biology student with a focus on animal behaviour and evolutionary genetics, so you can rest assured that the care I'll be providing suits the needs of your pet no matter the species! I'm fully licensed and have a vehicle for easy animal transportation if needed. I'm also fully vaccinated for COVID-19.

This was the second time Brena stayed in our home to spend the week with our dog and once again, we were so happy with how everything went. Our dog absolutely LOVES Brena!!

Brena did a great job looking after my little monster Saffi. Thank you! I hope to book with you again soon.

Brena was professional. We can home to a clean house and happy dogs. She provided frequent updates throughout her stay. She appeared to handle our 3 dogs with no concerns, which helped to make for a very relaxing vacation. I would recommend Brena to anyone looking for a dog/house sitter!

Safety, trust & environment

When meeting new pets, I always go at a pace that's comfortable for them. I have a lot of experience with different breeds and different personalities and am skilled at reading and reacting to their body language. I cater my approach to every pet based on their needs.

Information Brena D. would like to know about your pet

I want to know everything about your fur babies! What do they like and dislike, favourite toys and past-times, funny habits, eating schedules, special accommodations, etc. I try to keep their routine as similar as I can while you're away. Things like allergens and common triggers (anxiety, reactivity, etc) should be discussed prior to confirming booking requests to avoid any surprises and undue stress to the pet(s).

A typical day

I love engaging with pets both mentally and physically. I have a few dog parks and walking routes that I tend to frequent depending on location. A typical day would include play activities, a bit of obedience training (dog dependent) and plenty of cuddles.

As mentioned above, I'm currently attending university and I also work PT. That said, I'm a huge homebody and don't spend a lot of time out of the house other than classes and work. This means I'll be able to spend lots of time with your babies while you're away. Most of my classes are in the mornings which leaves afternoons and evenings free for drop-ins and house-sitting.
