Dogs are amazing

Pet care experience

When I was a child I would bring stray dogs home to my grandma's house and she would always say child you cannot save them all. I have walked dogs for a over a year and also worked at the Petsmart hotel on overnights for over 2 years. I have volunteer at the Majestic Horse ranch that does horse therapy for children and Vet. with PTSD. I own a Blue Nose Pitbull I took off the streets and even tho I was told to put him into a shelter and chose not to and I am very glad I did not. I also have trained this beautiful creature and still working on other commands especially the ones that keep him safe. Dogs is my specialty.. I will be starting school for learning about dogs and being able to train them to go with my own unique training of my precious boy...When I petsit or walk I would like to meet and greet to see if the dog will be ok with my two babies

Brenda did great with my boy butters. She sent me plenty of picture and followed every direction I gave about treats. She even refilled his water bowl :) I would definitely recommend her.

To whom it may concern, I had the pleasure of having Brenda Black on my team from Dec 2017 to April 2019. For that period, she worked on our dog walking team caring for dogs of all sizes and breeds. In that time, she was always a hard worker, flexible and dedicated to the care of the animals in her charge. Self-motivation, punctuality and a caring & thoughtful attitude were all requirements of her position with us with in which she demonstrated and excelled at. The nature of our business requires us to be with pets inside their own homes while owners are away. This means following a variety of instructions at each home while keeping safety in the home a priority- many times for a more particularly meticulous clientele. Our clients were always happy with the care their pets received while in Brenda's care, and she had a 100% 'Great' happiness rating directly coming from our clients during the time she worked for us. One client who is a police officer would ask for Brenda specifically to care for her difficult dog with behavioral issues. On several occasions Brenda out her clients first by driving all the way down from Minneapolis to south Prior Lake mid snowstorm to ensure the dogs would have care for the day, even arriving on time when many of my other sitters could not. Please consider her for any position she is seeking, I have no doubts you will be pleased if so. If you have any questions, feel free to contact me at the email address below.

I’ve known Brenda almost all my life and she’s always been great with dogs. She walks and sits my dog all the time and he’s always happy when he sees me after she’s with him. I also work with Zeus every now and then and I know she’s been working on training him and he listens so well. It’s so amazing that he even walks next to me off a leash. I have very high recommendations for her.

Information Brenda B. would like to know about your pet

I do not have any breed preference at all. I would like to know what food and how much if required to feed them. I usually fill up their water bowls unless none to be able to or asked not to. I also would like to know if your dog is required to eat special food all the sudden due to stomach issues. I would love to meet your dog first and to know if they are touchy or what bothers them so I know how to approach them. Unless you are ok with just booking me them I will be fine with that..

A typical day

I will have no issue taking your dog to a dog park and let them be dogs. I will be happy to walk them around parks and if you want your dog to be kept around the block I have be happy to walk them around the block. I will be happy to walk them for 30 min. or more I will be happy to play ball or any other toys you allow outside if the dogs is required to stay in the yard..
