Your pet's new best friend
Pet care experience
I've had pets of all types, shapes and sizes in my lifetime. Including dogs both little and large (teacup poodle, Labrador, Rottweiler, Husky, and German Shepherd), as well as cats, an African Grey parrot, and even several Degus. I spent 5 years fostering kittens for the Humane Society. I have experience giving pets medicine, including pills, ear drops and eye ointment. I am comfortable and experienced with elderly or special needs animals. I will love and care for your pets as if they were my own.
Reviews
Brenda R. cancelled a booking 3 days before it was scheduled to begin.
Brenda was very easy to work with. She made it a point to meet with us prior to the scheduled visit. It was apparent that she is an animal lover and would take care of ours like it was hers. Our fog loved her from the start. We were very impressed with what she did during the visit. We will be using her again!
We will definitely use Brenda again. She was very pleasant and attentive to Magy.
Brenda was amazing! My pups loved her and she took great care of them and the house while we were away!

I will follow your instructions for caring for your pets and give them all the love and attention they desire. For drop in visits, this includes *refilling water and food as needed *sitting down to give a cat or small dog a lap to curl up in (who am I kidding....large dogs usually end up in my lap too). *lots of pets *throwing a ball or playing tug of war with dogs *giving treats for tricks (sit, stay, lay down, etc) *play time with cats *scooping litter boxes *administering medicine if needed For dog walking, I will follow your desired route if provided. Otherwise I will plan a route prior to my arrival. Dog owner to provide proper leash. I prefer a harness, but a regular collar is acceptable if your dog is well trained. I will not use choke chains or pinch collars. If your dog requires either of these, please do not request a booking with me. I provide poop bags. I like to bring treats with me, including small treats for a few "attaboys" while we are out walking, and a biscuit for when we return home. If you prefer that I not give your pet treats or if you have your own treats you'd like me to use, let me know. I will check the animal's water dish when we return to be sure they are well hydrated after a walk. My dog walking service does not include leash training. If your pet has not been properly trained to walk on a leash, please don't book with me.
Information Brenda R. would like to know about your pet
Let me know if your dog has special needs ahead of time. Tell me which commands you use (hand signals, verbal English, German or other) and which commands they know. Let me know if your dog has anxiety around other animals (so I may avoid them when we are walking) If your dog has been aggressive towards other animals (other dogs, cats, squirrels), I prefer not to walk them.
A typical day
I love playful pets. I will spend time throwing balls, playing tug of war, etc. with your dog. I also enjoy giving lots of ear scratches and belly rubs. Cat are also lots of fun and I will engage your cat in playful activity. Animals who like cuddles are my favorites. I love spending time with a contented pet in my lap or curled up next to me.
