A safe castle for your special pet.

Pet care experience

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! Lots of light from windows. All one level, no pesky steps for our seniors. 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. Always a dog lover, they make a home happiest. My Bessie loves company and is always so excited to welcome new friends. 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.

We needed to board Sunny for 10 days and made the right choice leaving him with Brenda. I know he enjoyed his stay there, especially the outings and play time with Marley. We also really appreciated all the pictures and videos that Brenda sent. Thanks Brenda!

Brenda is a great sitter! We will definitely be letting Henry stay again. Brenda invited us over for a meet and greet first and Henry and my daughter's dog, Ralphie, loved her. Brenda has a big dog that is very calm and likes company. We got updates and pictures daily. They got to go outside to play in the fenced back yard a lot. Brenda spent time outside with them. She let the boys sleep with her. They loved their stay with Brenda. She took very good care of them and was home much of the time. They were spoiled and they love Brenda. Made me feel relaxed knowing they were being cared for.

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.

Information Brenda M. would like to know about your pet

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.

A typical day

We are in a safe, gated community with lots of great walking roads. Your dog's sleeping arrangement Your dog will sleep inside, if he/she has a preferred bed you might want to bring it.
