Brooktondale, NY
Animal enthusiast and lover
Pet care experience
I have fed, walked, trained, groomed, and medicated family and friends' pets since I was 10 years old. I took a vet assistant course in highs school and have worked as a veterinary assistant and technician since 2020. I have my own small zoo at home made up of birds, mice, aquatics, a cat, and even some insects! I have a passion for animal welfare and am always doing research to provide my pets the best quality of life.
About Brenda R.
Communication
Skills
Safety, trust & environment
I am very careful to check my surroundings for anything that may cause harm to an animal or be an escape hazard. I make sure to ask pet owners about where their pet may require extra attention/supervision and their pets habits. I prefer to keep pets in their known surroundings to prevent further stress while pet sitting, but if needed, I may be able to care for certain animals in my own home. I have a cat, but she is well-behaved and NEVER alone with other animals, nor left in a situation in which she can harm or be harmed.

Information Brenda R. would like to know about your pet
Please let me know of any specific needs or quirks your pet may have. I like to be prepared so please don't shy away from letting me know even the "naughty" quirks of your pet.
A typical day
Every pet is different, so the activities will depend on what the animal's needs and energy level is. I like to provide them with mental and physical enrichment, so walks, playtime, and training. I also love to chat with the pets, because I find that it helps calm them down, or hype them up for activity time. A nice petting/brushing/cuddle session after a long walk and /or mealtime is always great too!
