Safety, trust & environment

Pups are allowed on furniture & my bed. I have a crate if you prefer your pup sleep in a crate, but otherwise I have plenty of extra doggy beds for your pup if they prefer their own bed. I take my pup out 3-4x/day but if too hot , I have a grassy area in my front yard where I’ll take them out leashed. While I don’t have a fenced yard, I have a fenced & enclosed deck. I will never take out your pup without a leash. Pups will never be left home alone in the same area.

Information Brenda L. would like to know about your pet

Please let me know if your pup has any special needs or quirks & I will do my best to accommodate. ✅please make sure your pup is tick/flea free ✅please ensure all shots are up to date ✅please make sure your pup’s profile is current (care info, vet info, etc) ✅please make sure your dog has a collar at drop off. I require a meet & greet for all new clients. Existing clients- if my schedule is unavailable, please message me & I will try my best to accommodate you.

A typical day

Your pup will be a part of my everyday routine. You can expect at least 1 long walk around the neighborhood in addition to regular potty breaks. If it’s too hot, we will just go to the front yard (grassy area) to potty (on a leash of course). Lots of fetch indoors. I have lots of toys (including puzzles!) to share with visiting pups. Most toys are blue and/or yellow as these are colors that dogs can see.

I am a work from home dog mom to an adorable 4 year old Havanese named, Rocky. I will be sure to love & spoil your pup as my own! I grew up with dogs & have been around them all my life. I truly believe that dogs aren’t just pets, they are a part of the family.

Brenda's amazing. Oscar was completely at home and very cozy with her. She took such great care of Oscar, treating him like on of her family. Definitely recommend her and will be using her again.

Brenda has been the greatest dog sitter we’ve had. Hamilton is always cared for like he was one of her own. I get jealous when I drop him off because he enters her house like he’s not going to miss me but I know it’s because he feels safe and at home with her and he loves play time with Rocky.
