Pet care experience
Cat mom, Dog mom and Pet-sitter
Hello and Welcome! As a lifelong animal lover, experienced pet sitter and pet parent, I know how much trust it takes to leave your pets in someone else’s care. Whether you’re traveling, working long hours, or just need an extra hand, I’m here to provide reliable, loving care tailored to your dog’s unique needs and personality. I have experience with cats and dogs of all ages, sizes, and temperaments — from bouncy puppies to chill senior pups. I also own two dogs and three cats, each with their own unique personality. From the high energy pup who's always ready for a walk, to the shy cat who needs quiet and patience, I'm comfortable catering to all kinds of needs, whether it’s administering medication, working with shy or anxious cats or dogs, or helping maintain a structured routine. I’ll follow your instructions, and do everything I can to make your pet feel happy, secure, and loved. I’m confident in handling: • Dogs with special medical or dietary needs • Multi-pet households • Anxious or shy pets who need extra time to warm up • Lots of love, structure, and playtime! Here’s what you can always count on with me: • Daily updates with photos and notes so you know how your pup is doing • Plenty of walks, playtime, and cuddles • A safe, positive environment with lots of attention and affection • Flexible scheduling and open communication A little bit about me: I am a soon-to-be lawyer, and I am currently waiting on my bar exam results! I have three cats, a long-haired tabby, a long-haired calico, and a short-haired black cat. I also have a one-year-old rambunctious cockapoo, and a senior chihuahua that I grew up with. I just moved to Dixon, CA, and I currently live with my tabby, and the rest of my pets stay at my parents' home. If you feel like I could be a good fit for you and your pet, let's set up a meet-and-greet. I’d love to get to know you and your pet, hear all about their routines, and learn how I can help you and your pet. 🐶🐾🐱💕

Ratings and reviews
Brenda was everything I could hope for in a live-in cat sitter. She was responsible, trustworthy, and established an instant rapport with my cat during our initial meeting. I appreciated her regular updates, photos, and communication. When I returned from a two week vacation, my kitty was calm and happy and my house was spotless. I highly recommend Brenda, and will absolutely hire her again.
Brenda was communicative and easy to work with! My dog lived going on walks with her while I was away
Brenda is kind and warm. Our dog instantly loved her. She took great care of him and our house while we were gone. Brenda sent pictures and updates throughout her time with our dog and we felt that he was safe and happy. We highly recommend Brenda!
Brenda worked very well with my 67 pound year old lab mix Chase. She has walked him and dog sat him during my long days at work. My dog is still very young and has an issue with leash tugging. Brenda gave me really good advice on how to work with that and gave me different tips on how to prevent leash tugging. She also has dogs of her own and cats of her own so she knows how to work with different types of animals. She was very patient and loving with Chase. Chase loves her and is always so excited to see her.
Brenda has looked after my dog on multiple occasions. She has proven to be very responsible and loving towards my dog. She does well at following specific feeding and care instructions. On one occasion she administered medication to my dog when he was not feeling well while I was away. She provides regular updates and pictures and is very responsive. Her love for dogs definitely shows through her quality of care and my dog loves her. I will continue to have Brenda care for my fur baby and I recommend you do the same!
