Highlights
Pet care experience
Compassionate, experience dog lover
Ever since I can remember I’ve always had dogs. My friends and family often rely on me to help out with their pets, when they’re traveling or if they need a quick drop in. From snakes, turtles and tarantulas I’ve helped with all kinds of pets. I also volunteer at an animal shelter and have had the pleasure of meeting various types of dogs and I love them all.
Qualifications
Ratings and reviews
Brenda was wonderful and took great care of my puppy. He’s very young and needs extra attention, and she handled him with so much patience and care. You can tell she truly loves dogs. I came home to a very tired and very happy little guy. Highly recommend.
Charlie loves Brenda! He’s always so excited to see her and is in such a great mood when I get home. Thanks Brenda for taking such great care of my boy!
As always, my pup had so much fun and was well taken care of with Brenda! She’s the best!
Brenda took great care of our girls! Sent pictures & up-dates daily. It’s tough not to worry about them, but we knew they were in good hands. Thank you, Brenda!
Brenda took such good care of Charlie while I was away for 10 days. He’s an anxious boy and not easy to keep comfortable when I’m away for that long. She took the time to get to know him and do what was best to keep him relaxed throughout my trip. I didn’t have to worry one bit!
Brenda always does such a great job with our dogs. She helped ease my anxiety when one of my dogs had an upset stomach and was very adaptable and helpful. I would definitely recommend her!

Schedule
I have open availability and a very flexible schedule. I’m fully open on weekends in the mornings and afternoons, with some evenings available too. I’m reliable, easy to work with, and able to accommodate last-minute bookings when needed.
Where your pet will stay
Home characteristics
Safety, trust & environment
I want to make sure I have the trust of the pet owners as well as the dogs. Every dog is different and I do what is necessary depending on the type of dog I’m walking. If the dog is shy I will make sure to take my time to earn their trust. If they are friendly, we’ll be ready to have a great adventure on our walks. Safety is another important thing for me so I make sure I’m always giving my attention to the dog 100% of the time. I'm also privately insured.
Pets
A typical day
It all depends on the dogs energy. If they are super energetic I usually do a walk in the morning and later in the evening anywhere from 30-45min each. During the day I will make sure they stayed occupied with puzzle toys or a chew stick or toy. A daily training session is a must as it builds bonds and trust.
- 0 to 15 lbs16 to 40 lbsUnspayed females accepted, neutered males onlyNo females in heatBrenda can host up to 1 pet per night
- Is there any specific gear you would like me to use them for them? Such as specific leash or harness? Are they reactive towards other dogs or cats? Do they respond to basic commands such sit, stay, come? Do they have any allergies, medical issues or need any medication? Are they crate trained? Are they allowed on the furniture? How do they react when someone they don't know tries to put a harness on? What situations makes them nervous? How do they feel about strangers coming into their home with no family members present? Do they have any quirks I should know about? (Like disliking the rain, they hate loud noises, any particular fears, or things they react to negatively/positively?) Do you have anyone as a local emergency contact? If so, could I please have their contact information just in case? Is there any extra things you would like me to do, such as bringing in the mail or watering any plants?
