Reliable & Fun Dog Lover

Pet care experience

Hi! I am a current law student here in Philly, & happy to be picking Rover back up! I was working remote in Rosslyn, VA for 2 years, & will miss my clients dearly! I’ve been dog sitting/walking through here for about six years now, and have 8 years of overall experience in taking care of my extended family's dogs as well as my own. I’m looking forward to meeting more of our neighbors and helping out in watching your beloved pet(s)! A little about my own pets and what they've taught me over the years - My German Shepard Husky mix, Toby, is full of energy, even at 12 years old. Our first dog Hershey was a sweet, calm Bernese Mountain who kept him in line as he grew up. I always confidently tell my clients that they have both helped me firsthand in understanding every dog has their own unique temperament and personality. They were both rescues and have added a lot of joy to our family. We love going on long walks and just hanging out at home! I've always loved dogs and can definitely be trusted in looking after yours! If any questions arise, please don't hesitate to contact me and ask :)

Brenda’s stayed at our house for our anxious dog a couple weekends now. We love the photos/ communication and know he’s in great hands!

Brenda was super communicative. She watched our large dog in our house for a few days and we would love to have her back! Highly recommend!

Brenda stayed at my home for a week in September and did an amazing job with my three senior pups- which is definitely a handful for anyone! She was responsible and reliable and even helped to change the battery in our smoke detector when it started beeping during the trip. She left our home in wonderful condition and I can tell the dogs had a great time with her. I would definitely book with Brenda again and recommend her highly.

Brenda is the most caring and most loving sitter. Every time my two dogs stay with Brenda, they have the biggest smile on their face. I have recommended her to my entire family because that’s how much I trust her. I don’t even like to leave my dogs for a day, but with Brenda, I finally feel safe leaving them with such a kind, caring, and loving sitter. Highly recommend.

Safety, trust & environment

In your home, I respect your dog’s space & boundaries. I also respect their feeding and walking schedules. I know some pets are either newly getting used to or relearning separation from their owners, so I find it is best to stick closely to their schedules so they remain unstressed and comfortable.

Information Brenda U. would like to know about your pet

No preferences here! Big or small, I have always had a passion in understanding and caring for dogs of any age and breed. I’d love to know their daily routine, just so they are kept as comfortable and unstressed as possible while you’re away!

A typical day

I love long walks/hikes, so would love to take them on one during the weekends with your permission! I am still exploring the Philly area so would love to do so with a furry friend :) After work, if they still have the energy to play with some toys (tug of war, fetch, tricks/training, etc) I make an effort to take the time to schedule that in for them.
