If dog sitting, I am happy to come twice per day to feed, walk and love your pet. I understand how hard it is to leave them behind. I will happily text you photos and updates, as often as you would like!

Information Brenda H. would like to know about your pet

We will definitely go over your individual needs for each of your pets. I will keep detailed notes, so they have the best care possible. I have left my dog for two long trips, and I totally understand how nerve wracking that can be!

A typical day

Our activities will totally depend on what your dog loves to do. I love walking and hiking, throwing lots of balls and frisbees, and practicing tricks. But if your dog would rather snuggle and snore, I'm good with that too. :)

Quality, Loving Pet Care

Pet care experience

I have a true love of every furry friend out there. I love large breeds as much as small, so I’m comfortable with any breed. I also love to walk and hike, so if your dog is high energy, I can match that!

Brenda was fantastic. She communicated well, updated me on a daily basis and sent me pictures. I have always felt uncomfortable when I had to travel and leaving my guys at a kennel. Because the t are older and "set in their ways". I was looking for a service that allowed them to stay in familiar surrounding and disrupt their routines. Brenda and Rover definitely met my requirements. I highly recommend Brenda to anyone who wants a kind, friendly, professional who readily bonds with your four legged buddies. Regards. JWC

Brenda stayed at our house for a week while we were out of town, to look after Lacey, our senior St. Bernard. Lacey is very special to us and we were hesitant to use someone other than family to look after her. We met with Brenda before we went away and immediately liked her and felt very comfortable and confident that she would do a great job. In fact, she did an amazing job. The house was immaculate and Lacey was as happy as can be. All the throughout the vacation we received text updates with photographs of Lacey doing the things she loves - swimming, walking and napping. Lacey has a few medical issues that require very specific attention and medication which Brenda handled with her usual professionalism and compassionate care. We will definitely use Brenda again. She even left us a painting that she did of Lacey as a gift! Can’t say enough about how impressed we are with Brenda!

Our 3 pups were well taken care of thanks to Brenda. Everything about the pup sitting experience was 5 star. Communication, timeliness and care couldn't have been better.

Brenda is extremely reliable and attentive to her availability and schedule. She cares for each and every pet she comes into contact with and can even help curb some behavior issues. I trust her with dogs within her home, out on hikes, and within my own home as well. You won’t be disappointed by your choice in choosing Brenda for your pet’s love and care!
