Unconditional love for pets

Growing up with a rescue, I had the opportunity to look after and train for a dog who had been abused and neglected. Although difficult, I had the privilege of treating him to a long 15 years of being part of a loving and caring family. Since then, I have had a passion for doing the same for many other dogs through foster care. I currently work full-time with a hybrid approach which allows me to work from home on many days of the week. For those days in the office, I am gone for a few hours during the day and work just down the road, allowing me to come back on lunch. Outside of that, I am completely free on weekends. I am always attentive to animals in my household to make sure they are getting what they need. I always as well make sure that the animals are getting adequate time outside and play time throughout the day.

Brendan had great communication and helped support our last minute boarding request! He sent photo updates of our dog and she enjoyed her time with him. We will book again with Brendan :)

Brendan was great with my dog, Dakota! Dakota is reactive to other dogs and has a few behavioural quirks. Brendan was able to accommodate them and took good care of him for the weekend.

Brendan was awesome with Murphy. Murph is a dog that has some anxiety issues and is a hard puller when he walks. Brendan was able to help Murphy feel at home and gave him excercise 2-3 times a day. Would highly recommend. Would go to Brendan again when I need someone to watch Murphy.

Brendan is a very responsible and caring pet giver. You can always count on him for whatever your pet needs. He is compassionate, attentive, and very dependable. I highly recommend Brendan!

Brendan has been a friend of mine for 19 years. Growing up with Brendan and his beautiful dog Tyson (who unfortunately has now passed), I got to witness how much Brendan loved dogs. He took the best care of Tyson assuring he had lots of walks, playtime, rest, the best food, and anything he needed. Brendan is a dog lover! Any type of dog puts a smile on his face. Brendan would assure great care for every single dog in his home. He is constantly going above and beyond for animals in his life. I have even trusted Brendan with my precious baby (Bentley the husky-lab) who has separation anxiety. Bentley was so happy with him that now every time we walk by his home he thinks he is going to see Brendan and play! I assure you that Brendan is the perfect candidate for Rover!

Brendan has an extremely big heart and a huge soft side for animals. Whenever he comes to visit me, he is always interested in doing something with my animals. Whether that be taking my dog for a walk or playing with toys with the cats, Brendan is up for it! I never worry about leaving my animals with him because I know he will do whatever is needed to make sure they are comfortable and happy!

A typical day

I am a very active person so exploring new trails is always a great way I enjoy my time and give the pups tons of new smells! Aside from walks, I love to play lots of games that are both physically and mentally stimulating to make sure your pup is always busy!

All dogs deserve the same love but in order for me to care for them properly, I’d love to know if your dogs require any special needs or attention! Any information you feel is necessary will help me give the best care to your loved one.
