Energetic, caring and affectionate
Pet care experience
I live life to its fullest. I take advantage of opportunities, and seek out new experiences whenever possible. Branching out, trying new things, and staying active are essential for me. I’ve had my black Lab Rickey for 9 years, and both of us love hiking, running, and getting outdoors often. I love helping dogs know that they’re heard, loved, and understood, and facilitating the best possible relationship between dogs and their owners. As a sitter, I provide a safe, nurturing, fun place for dogs while their families are away. Rickey also loves having a buddy! I’m flexible, caring and energetic. I take dogs on extended, adventurous walks and cuddle with them as much as possible. During your dog’s stay, I’ll send lots of photos and updates, because if you’re anything like me, you’ll be missing her a lot - and I want to provide the best possible experience all around! I run, bike, climb, hike and do yoga every week. I usually hike once a week with my dog. I love to cook, bake, build things and do art. I live in the Arbor Lodge neighborhood, which is wonderfully convenient to my job, downtown, highways, the airport, stores and restaurants. My home is dog-centric: Dogs sleep on the couch, chew bones under the table, run around the fenced-in yard and sometimes dig holes. Your pup will love getting outside a lot and receiving bountiful attention.
Reviews
Brenda is a superb dog sitter. I have booked her several times and found her to be always reliable, flexible, and energetic. I give her my full recommendation.
Brenda is great! I highly recommend her. She made sure that my pup received the medications she needs and communicated regularly with me to let me know how things were going.
Brenda gets it! She’s is a real dog person and understands not only what doggies need but also their owners. We highly recommend Brenda!
Lots of pictures and updates on how the young fella was doing. Plenty of exercise and fun times. Only concern was scar/scab over eye. Guessing Ernie and other dogs played HARD! In good shape and happy boy!

Information Brenda B. would like to know about your pet
I would like to meet your dog beforehand. I would also like my dog to meet the dog I will be sitting. I'd also love to know: Preferences? Likes? Dislikes? Is your dog's rabies vaccination up to date? Are they on flea medication? Habits and schedule? Is your dog a big barker? I ask because some neighbor's are sensitive to barking. Favorite activities, treats, and places? Any particular concerns? I am not able to provide transportation for doggy day care.
A typical day
We’ll go on two walks per day. We’ll also play a lot in my fenced-in backyard. At night, we’ll cuddle on the couch. There may also be cuddles from my boyfriend that lives with me. Rosie, my dog, may be very playful, or just share the couch, toys, and her bed.
