I work from home so I am flexible with scheduling, I’ve learned pups just want to be where the humans are so I find that they just like to lay next to me while I’m on my computer :)

Information Brenda H. would like to know about your pet

I’d love to know if your dog has any special needs or behaviors I can account for. I like to keep things as you would in your own home so I don’t throw them off any schedule they may already have.

A typical day

I like to keep my dog active therefore we play fetch, frisbee, and go on walks throughout the day as weather permits. Recently I started teaching my pup how to do activity courses to keep him active as well.

Welcome :)

Pet care experience

Welcome to my profile!! I welcome all breeds and all sizes. I have a lot of experience in dog sitting as I have been around many dogs throughout my life from small ones to large ones- older ones to young ones, energetic ones and those who prefer to nap instead. I do live in a home with a large fenced yard, I also do work from home so I have lots of time to provide to the needs of any welcoming guest! I currently have one dog of my own, his name is Ollie, he is a shiba-inu mix. I rescued Ollie from a shelter since he was about a year old, he is very good and welcoming with all dogs. I like to stay active and keep my dog active as well, so I run in the morning with my dog and we go on long walks in the evening. I have no professional experience training dogs, but I did teach my own dog how to sit, lay, shake, play dead, spin, and other tricks. I understand that being away from your dog and leaving them in another home can be somewhat stressful for the both of you, but Ollie and myself make sure to ALWAYS make any dog feel right at home.

💛IVY is always well taken care of at Brenda’s. I would give her 10 out of 10 if I could, We always appreciate that she is flexible with drop off and pick up times.

Our dog is often unwilling to eat when in new surroundings. But he ate well and returned home tail wagging. Thank you, Brenda!

Brenda was great in caring for my dog, communicating clearly and available on-time. Will use her dog boarding services again.
