A safe castle for your special pet.

Hi - Brenda here. This is the place where your dog rules. Our pets are family and yours will be too! I don't take multiple dogs at a time unless they are from the same family. Your dog will not be grouped with packs that might be intimidating or a bad fit. Bessie, my middle age Golden Retriever is as docile as they come and quietly welcomes new friends. She loves her walks and will take walks with your fur baby. Great home atmosphere for your pets! We don't kennel up your animals all day, they are free to explore the house, play, inside and outside. Why I love dog sitting? I've had pets all of my life. All of our pets have been rescued animals. All pets feel anxious when their people are away, we make sure they feel they're safe, secure, and always loved. Meet my pets: Bessie - my sweet Golden Retriever girl. We rescued her when she was 4 from a locked cage. She now has almost 4 years experience being a guide and protector of people and other animals. Mike- Mike is a Rockstar who was also rescued at 2 months. He's quite fluffy and is technically a cat, but doesn't know it. He takes walks with us, believes Bessie is his sister and is generally precious. Mike prefers to stay outside, but comes in to chill, eat, and sleep with his buds. Your fur baby hasn't met a Mike? Not to worry, visits are always monitored until I know we're all well acquainted. My experience administering medication: Medication that can be given orally is not a problem.

Brenda was great!!! She kept me posted and sent pictures and my dog made himself right at home. Will definitely be taking my chihuahua back. So glad I found her.

I felt like my baby was loved, safe, and that Brenda truly cared about her. I am so glad I met Brenda and will definitely reach out if we are going on a trip again where we can't take Magpie.

Schedule

I am retired, home during the day, no small children. Although I do have daily activities that take me away on some days, pets are never alone more than a few hours. I'm an accomplished weight lifter, so managing dogs big and small is not a problem.

Safety, trust & environment

Pets in my home are treated just as they are at home. We take frequent walks and trips outside whenever needed. I take only one additional dog at a time unless they are from the same family. I've found this to be much less stressful for pets and prevents the possibility of having too many personalities at one time.

I do not have a breed preference. If a dog has a special need, I'll need to know it before hand. I cannot take a dog that does not do well with other dogs. We are particularly well versed in oldsters and puppies. Having always rescued, I understand the anxiety that comes with a rescue dog being away from their people and work to keep them calm.
