Pet care experience
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.
Reviews
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!
This is my second time booking Brenda to hang out with my 2 dogs for a few days while I was away. I can trust her to take good care of my boys and respect our home. You’d be lucky to have her, so book if you can!
Brenda is the best, hands down!!! Our pups love her and finding a good pet sitter is hard to find that you can trust and never have any doubt that your pups are bad hands. She is great!!!

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.
Information Brenda B. would like to know about your pet
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?
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.
