Highlights
Pet care experience
Home-based artist in walkable city
Ever since I was knee-high to Pomeranian, I've loved dogs. And dogs love me! I'm a walker and sitter with 7 years of experience and now, with a recent move, a very convenient location! I'm based in an apartment right in the heart of downtown Silver Spring, MD--a super walkable city for dogs to explore, sniff around, and "get their business done" in. I'm walking distance from the Red Line and have a car, so I'm able to get wherever you need me to go to care for your dogs. And, if you need them to stay with me, my apartment complex is incredibly dog-friendly-- there's a dog park nearby and, heck, there's even a jar of treats at the front desk-- and I will attend to any comfort and dietary need your dogs require. I look forward to meeting you and your furry little friends!

This was just a short walk as a way to get to know each other, but Brendan had great communication, came as scheduled, prepared to go! Goldie seemed happy afterwards - all good!
Brendan is an absolute treasure. Our dog is not the easiest to handle at times, but Brendan was amazing with him, and I really appreciated the regular updates about what the little potato was up to
Brendan is an incredibly caring, responsive and responsible sitter! We have a sweet senior dog who is also very slow and stubborn, and doesn’t get along with other dogs. We were lucky to find Brendan to take care of Stella over a holiday weekend.
Brendan K. cancelled a booking 3 days before it was scheduled to begin.
Brendan was fantastic. We were thrilled that he was able to care for our anxious older dog. He was quite responsive and sent pics to let us know how she was doing. So grateful!
Brendan was a great sitter for Waffles. He was very flexible and even agreed to stop by the store to pick up extra food when I realized I had forgotten to pack it. He sent us cute pictures every day-it looked like Waffles had a great time. Would recommend highly.

Schedule
I’m a morning person so I am able to handle the earliest-rising dogs. Each weekday I go out on my dog walking rounds from about 10AM-2PM, abc after that I’m usually home for the rest of the day.

Safety, trust & environment
I take special care to follow client’s wishes with their dogs to the utmost degree. I ask clients what their dog’s needs are and any specific care they might need.
A typical day
We’ll play games, we’ll cuddle on the couch, go for walks in the quieter, more open parts of town, and be the best of buddies.
