-All Care, Daycare & Boarding Overnight Takes Place in YOUR home- Hi! Let's talk about what you need. Read this section, please. Saves time! My rate is $60 for overnight sitting in your home & $40 for daycare for all pets. No upcharge for more than 1 pet. Flat rate. There may be a small fuel surcharge for long travel times. That is all I offer. I prefer repeat clients who travel frequently. My 2 small senior dogs come with me for house-sitting. They are sweet non reactive & highly social with other dogs and cats. Non shedding & perfectly housetrained. Photos on my profile. I take care of pampered pets in owner's homes & am trusted with managing services for busy owners who do not have time to deal with the running of their properties. Need someone to be around when the new A/C installation happens? That's me! do so much more than pet sit. Need transportation for your pet? I fly with pets! Flight nanny! My background is a degree in Behavioral Psychology, working for Veterinarians and top rated boarding facilities. I've owned my pet care business for over 32 years. I provide the care I always craved for my pets and could never find. I have been a full time, professional pet caregiver for over 32 years. Why I love dog sitting I'm 62 and have always had pets. I have volunteered for domestic and wildlife rescue. Years ago I decided I needed a break from a very high stress career I was involved in and took a break. While on that break I went to work for a 5 star boarding facility in Oakland, Ca. I learned so much and trained with some of the best in the industry. I moved on to work with Veterinarians in their offices. What I learned was invaluable and instead of going back to my high stress job I decided to go out on my own and care for dogs my way,full time. I've never regretted my decision. My experience administering medication Yes, I can administer oral and do sub-q injections. Pet care is the best part of my day. My life revolves around animal care. I have been a full time companion animal caregiver for many years. Pets are most comfortable staying in their home and sticking to the routine they are accustomed to while their humans are away from them. My style is a favorite Auntie has come to stay and soak them in love and attention. Pet care is the best part of my day. I am semi retired. Dogs are kind enough to let me live in their home- I'm a softie. Dogs are allowed on the furniture and sleep in bed with me. I'm fine with following owners instructions but I like to to give them a vacation from so many rules if possible. Let's PLAY!

Ratings and reviews
Brenda did great with our boy Brighton. Even with a bunch of fluctuations in our travel schedule and length, she worked hard to coordinate with us and take up the slack. We really appreciate her efforts and taking such good care of Our baby
Great job today, Brenda:)!! Poppy was very taken with you?. I can tell that your past experience will be helpful as you continue to build a relationship with her in the future. Thanks for taking a load off of my mind!
Brenda was amazing! She really helped out during an emergency situation and was even able to interact with our super shy pupper during their first meeting! Would 10000x recommend Brenda and use again. Thank you so much!
Lied about her experience altogether, didn’t follow any of my instructions which lead to my dog getting attacked, she kicked my dog that was getting attacked (I caught her on camera) a few times, did nothing at all to try and break up the fight or separate them, didn’t even bother to clean up the bloody mess that was all throughout the first level of my home because that’s how many times she allowed my dog to be attacked repeatedly, then had the nerve to call me screaming on the phone making it seem as though one of them died! I reported her to rover yet somehow she’s still allowed to sit dogs through rover. I would NEVER recommend anyone let this woman watch their dog unless they want to subject their dogs to abuse and/or neglect. As a rover sitter myself, I was beyond appalled and infuriated that someone would claim all that experience but treat dogs so terribly! I’d give zero stars if I could!
Brenda was just what Barley needed, he is energetic and she used up his energy is positive ways. When I picked him up he acted like she was his new best friend, which I guess she is for him. I highly recommend her, nothing fancy just a love for animals.
Brenda is the best! Our dog, Daisy, was well cared for and even though she was happy to see me when I came to get her, you could tell she just loved her staycation with Brenda and her pups. We got lots of updates and photos. I would recommend her highly!

Schedule
I am semi retired. Taking care of beloved pets is a joy and takes up the majority of my day. Your pet and I will spend quality time together. Like kids, their schedule comes first. They depend on us for bathroom breaks and food, least we can do to be attentive to those simple needs.
