Providing Cuddles and Care

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.

We left our pup with Brenda for two weeks. At first, I was a little nervous because he had never really been with a sitter that he didn’t know in the past, but Brenda exceeded my expectations. She was loving and kind, sent pictures every day so that we would feel comfortable with how he was doing. I know that she took very good care of him and we are so grateful. We would highly recommend her for anyone looking for a pet sitter.

Doggy Day Care • avr. 22, 2026

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.

Brenda was such a superstar with Phoebe when I went out of town for the weekend. She was so kind and welcoming, and Phoebe instantly relaxed. She’s a naturally nervous pup, but she was calm and relaxed the entire time she was with Brenda, and I was able to relax knowing she was being well-taken care of. Brenda was so good about sending pictures and videos and updates and it made my entire day to see how happy my dog was with her. If I could give her 10 stars, I would.

Schedule

I’m currently doing my college classes at home and going on campus two times a week for an hour. I never leave unless I need something from the supermarket, so I can take care of your furry companion practically every second of the day.

Safety, trust & environment
