A walk a day keeps the vet at bay!

Pet care experience

Dog spelled backward is God! Dogs are God's gift to humans, therefore humans have a responsibility to honor that relationship, cherish it, and protect our gifts: dogs! I work with Great Dane and large breed rescues and have four related rescue Great Danes at home. I've always had dogs in my life: Springer Spaniel, Yorkshire Terriers, and Chihuahuas! I have found walking /exercise has been the main component of health for humans and pets alike. I believe schedules, for humans and pets, keep body systems, as well as emotional well being, on track. Sunshine, the great outdoors, and human touch /affection are good therapy for all of us. My goal is to ensure your cherished companion is entertained, gets exercise for optimum physical health, mental health, stimulation, and to feel a sense of well being. Longevity in humans and pets is attributed to exercise and mental stimulation! Your canine companion will thrive with regular visits from me! I will ensure your best friend is happy and satisfied upon my departure. In addition, I will always clean up after your pooch; No poop is too big to scoop! Extensive Experience with nearly all illnesses: kidney disease, large breed crisis: Bloat, heart conditions, seizures, special needs: deaf or vision impaired, paralysis/ lameness, incontinence, seniors, puppies, training, shots, diabetes testing, administering oral or injectible medications!

Thanks to Brenda our family was able to take a last minute mini vacation away from home while she checked in on our three German Shepherds. Her experience with large breeds was evident as she knew how to handle herself around ours and even better was that our dogs took to her immediately. Unfortunately our dog/s left a mess for her unexpectedly but she was so wonderful at taking charge of the situation and cleaning up after the dogs for us while we were away. Thats going above and beyond which is what you’re going to get when you work with Mrs. Brenda.

Brenda is the best. She really goes beyond just pet sitting. She checked in on my cat while we were gone for 10 days. She was awesome taking care of her and sent me lots of pictures. She also brought in my mail and packages that collected at the door. She also notified me right away when the shed door was found open (probably due to a storm) and she even reset the clocks on my kitchen appliances when the power went out. She’s so reliable and I have total peace of mind that my cat and my home are well looked after when I’m away. I highly recommend Brenda!

Information Brenda S. would like to know about your pet

I can handle ANY breed and ANY size dog! No dog is too large! Commanding a dog is all about a meeting of the minds! Dogs need to know the human is in charge! I need to know if the dog has particular mannerisms when it comes to other dogs should we meet any on our walk. Has the dog had any incidences? Is the dog fearful of anything? What are the best practices with your particular dog if approached?

A typical day

I would like to walk in an area familiar to your pet. If your pet enjoys fetch or catch and you contract me to visit with him/her then we will exert some energy playing with a ball or frisbee.
