Pet care experience

I adore all pets- big & small!

Hi! My name is Brenda and thank you for reading my profile! You should be able to get an idea from this as to how much I love, love pets :-) Animals add so much to our lives!! All they do is give to us and so unconditionally! So I totally understand why you would want someone who loves your furry family members just as you do- that is what I want for my furry family too :-) But I understand how hard it is to know who to trust with your most treasured companion. I grew up with big dogs, so love dogs big & small, I have always cared for our cats as well! We even had a Pot Belly Pig & a 5+ foot Iguana! I am the girl that see's your doggy and runs up going "oh! What a cutie!" In fact I love animals so much that I changed my career & for years worked at Pet Hospital's...In the training I received at Banfield Pet Hospital, my understanding of what your dog is communicating is huge. I also work from home so that means I can spend a lot of time with your pets! I do live in an Rental so when I am not home I would need your doggie to be ok with my 2 kitties :) I am also CPR and First aid certified for people, so I know basics. I have not been able to have a dog for a while just due to my living situation so I would love to love yours while u are away and live vicariously through you. I have a flexible schedule now, can stay at your house with your babies, as I have 2 kitties so I can have one small dog stay with us...Jacob is pictured with a small puppy we watched :) It would be an honor for me to take care of your pets anytime. Warmly...Brenda

Brenda was great. She stepped in at last minute, is a great communicator and sent many pictures of our dog Chloe. I would recommend Brenda to anyone. We felt our dog and our home was in good, responsible, reliable care.

Brenda was wonderful. We received text updates with photos at least daily. It was a relief to be able to travel and not worry about our fur babies. Will definitely use her again.

This was the first time I’ve hired a pet sitter for my two kitties. Brenda came daily to feed and give them lovin’. I was concerned about how my shy little guy would handle a stranger, but it didn’t take long and she was able to coax him out from under the bed. When I returned home I could tell that Brenda had done a wonderful job taking care of them. I would certainly use her again!

Brenda took great care of our sweet 14 year old dog. She was very understanding and sensitive to her routines that she was used to and "Maggie" seemed to really like her! We will definitely be using her again.

Brenda was fabulous!! I felt at ease leaving my overly codependent dog for 5 days. I received daily pics of him and updates. Will definitely use her again!!

My pets are my kids, so the house is theirs as much as mine or sometimes they think it's more theirs! Haha :-) since I don't have a dog now, at least until I get a fenced yard I scoop my kitties litter boxes twice a day.
