I have a flexible schedule and my retired husband is home most days. I love going on walks and hikes for not only the dogs’ fitness, but mine as well. Our house is right on the Aliso Creek Trail, connecting us to miles of paths which are wonderful for walks.

Information Brenda S. would like to know about your pet

Please let me know if your pet has anything they like or don’t like. If you have a male dog, I would love to host him as long as he doesn’t mark indoors. I’m quite flexible and open minded, and prefer to know any pet specifics ahead of time to best prepare everyone for an incredible experience.

A typical day

I like to get my dogs out for two walks a day, one shorter and one longer, depending on the weather. I love playing fetch or tug and being active, but also love cuddle time.

Pet care experience

I have been pet sitting for a long time and am comfortable with all sizes and personalities of dogs and cats. I am also a volunteer dog walker for many years, previously at Best Friends in LA and currently at Mission Viejo Animal Services (where I have been trained to the highest level of managing dogs that a volunteer can achieve). We will only take one dog/family in our home at a time in order to focus on the happiness and well being of each guest. If you would prefer your animal stays comfortable in their own environment, I also offer pet care in your home.

Brenda was a delight to meet and work with. She has a very caring nature and was well equipped to take care of our 5 month old puppy. We will certainly use her services again.

Brenda was amazing with my older small diabetic dog and young cat! She took such good care of them and followed our over night instructions perfectly. I will definitely be using her services again.

Brenda took great care of our pup, and he had a good time running around her beautiful yard with sweet Wrigley. We weren't worried at all about her ability to control him on walks, thanks to her ninja-level dog walking background .We look forward to having her host Satchmo again!

Amazing caregiver! Brenda was exceptional, her backyard is amazing and so is her sweet dog Wrigley. I got great daily updates and felt like my dog was not only well taken care of but welcomed into her home and part of the family. Highly recommend booking with her!
