Information Brenda L. would like to know about your pet

I would like to know ahead of time if your furry friend has any type(s) of medical condition I can or can't account for before taking care of them.

I love playing with dogs all the time whether its with a stick or their favorite plushy. I would also take them out on a walk around the neighborhood or to the closest park near me.

Pet care experience

I’ve been taking care of dogs and different animals since I was 12. My middle school teacher trusted me feeding and walking the farm animals at my school and it was my daily routine. I also had the opportunity to do my high schools hours at a veterinary clinic which helped me earn my veterinary assisting license. I walked, fed, and cleaned the kennels for the pets that were boarded and hospitalized. I also volunteered at the North Central Florida Humane Society, taking dogs on potty breaks and having 10 minutes outside play time with lots of belly and head rubs. I treated them as if they were my own pets.

Brenda and her mom took great care of my little boy for the day while I took care of some appointments. He had their company as well as their dog Scooby's. He came home happy and relaxed, and I'm happy to have found a great fit for daycare for my dog with isolation anxiety.

Brenda was amazing with Scooby. You can tell she really cares about the dogs because she asked all the right questions to get to know Scooby beforehand. She kept us updated with pictures. Scooby had a great time within Brenda. We'll bring him again next time we're in Gainesville.

As always, she did an amazing job watching Phoebe. I never stress knowing that Brenda will be taking good care of her while I’m gone.

Brenda took excellent care of Tiba! She sent many updates and was very attentive to all of my senior pup's needs. She was also very accommodating when I needed to change my booking.
