I'm currently attending university and I also work on campus part-time. 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 fur babies while you're away.

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.

Paws-itively Great Pet Care

Pet care experience

Hello! I've been pet-sitting for 10+ years and have spent my entire life surrounded by the small and furry. I have experience with a wide variety of animals, including reptiles, rodents, exotic or uncommon pets, rabbits, dogs, cats, etc., so you can rest assured that the care I'll be providing suits the needs of your pet no matter the species! Outside of Rover, I'm working towards an MSc in Biology focused on conservation genetics and tall grass prairies ecology. I'm fully licensed and have a vehicle for easy animal transportation if needed.

Brena was amazing! She was reliable, communicative and overall a perfect match to our fur baby! Niibin was well looked after and loved. She also kept our house the way we left it. Highly recommend Brena’s services. We will definitely call her again!

Brena is truly amazing. She spent over an hour looking for our cat out of concern. Then she strolled out as if nothing. Diva. Brena texted us immediately out of concern. What a pure animal lover. She is amesone thank you so much from the Jollymore family 😊

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.
