Friendly dog lover, ready to help!

Pet care experience

Hey there! My name is Brendan and I am a passionate dog lover who enjoys connecting and spending time with dogs. Over the past 12 years I have been a consistent dog sitter/walker for family and friends. I love all breeds but strive with large breeds/pointers. I like to foster a relationship with dogs and make sure they are comfortable and having a great time. Currently, I am available for all weekdays and weekends, very flexible. I want the owners to have no worries about their dog while in my care. I hope to build trusted relationships with dogs and their owners alike. I like to connect with dogs, from young to old. My own dog recently passed, but gave me many years of love. With my dog, I gained experience with special needs and old age. I look forward to meeting you and your dog in the future! Thanks!

Brendan and Megan did an amazing job watching Zeus! We left him for 10 days over Christmas while we flew overseas to visit family, I was worried about leaving him so long with people we didn't know but we had just moved to Chicago so didn't really have a choice. Brendan arranged a meet and greet and I couldn't of felt more relaxed afterwards about trusting them both with Zeus, they asked all the right questions, seemed equipped to handle any issue and very experienced. They sent a daily photo so I could see how he was doing and mid way through they sent a photo giving him a belly rubs, and I knew he was happy and comfortable as Zeus is usually very judicious in this area! They were very flexible and relaxed with drop off and pick up which was helpful as we had international flights. All in all a great experience. He was pleased to come home but sad to leave them and I will definitely be using them as pet sitters again!

Brendan was great with our lab and he updated us often on how he was doing. We definitely recommend him.

Brendan was awesome with our 2 dogs. We have used him many times for dog sitting, and they just love him. When he would come to watch them, the dogs acted like their big brother just came home from college on winter break; all they wanted to do was be around him. Yeah, it's that kinda love!

Brendan is a fantastic dog sitter! I recently hired him to take care of my dog Toby for the week before my wedding. He wrote updates, sent pictures and most importantly, he took great care of Toby and he made me feel completely at ease during a very overwhelming time in my life! It is hard for me to leave just anyone with Toby and I was never worried with him being with Brendan! Anytime I am back in Chicago, he will be the first person I call to sit for us!!
