WFH Dog Mom

Pet care experience

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 was so patient with our girl. Sam has severe anxiety and Brenda went above and beyond to make her feel comfortable

Hamilton is always happy to stay with Brenda & Rocky! I never have to worry about my fur baby and always know that he is being cared for. I Love that I get pics and updates whether it’s one day or a week stay with Brenda.

I cannot say enough wonderful things about Brenda! She is an absolute gem when it comes to taking care of my pup. From the moment we met, her genuine kindness and courteous nature put me at ease. It's clear she has a heart of gold. Brenda is meticulous in whether it's feeding, walking, or just spending quality time with my dog, she handles it all with great care and attention. I can tell my pup was comfortable with her. One thing that truly stands out about Brenda is her attentiveness and presence. She stays aware of my dog's needs and keeps me updated with adorable photos and messages. It's evident that she really loves what she does. Brenda is an outstanding dog sitter who embodies qualities of kindness, courtesy, reliability, meticulous, attentive, aware, and flexible. I highly recommend her to anyone in need of exceptional care for their beloved pets. Thank you, Brenda! 🐾💖

Brenda is amazing. She provides a nice calm environment for my dog and always provides plenty updates and pictures to let me know how he's doing throughout the day.

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 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 & plenty of potty pads inside in case of rainy weather. 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 longer 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.
