Safety, trust & environment

I wouldn’t be able to take care of pets in my own home but can do whatever is needed in their homes. I am good at providing structured resting time as well as play and can provide support with any trailing being done in the home

Information Brendan M. would like to know about your pet

Knowing a few important details about your pets ahead of time helps me keep them happy, safe, and stress-free while you’re away. Allowing your pet the space and time needed to feel comfortable with me

A typical day

A typical day with me is all about keeping your pets happy, comfortable, and on their usual routine. For dogs, that means walks, playtime, and plenty of attention. For cats, I focus on interactive play, enrichment, and creating a calm, cozy environment. Whether it’s fetch, feather toys, or just relaxing together, I make sure every pet feels safe, cared for, and loved

Pet care experience

A former UC Davis graduate. I’ve taken care of dogs all my life. I’m a dependable and attentive pet sitter who focuses on creating a calm, low-stress experience tailored to each animal’s personality and routine. I’m especially skilled at reading behavior cues, helping shy or anxious pets feel comfortable, and maintaining consistency with feeding, cleaning, and enrichment. My background in structured, fast-paced environments has made me highly organized and reliable, so pet owners can trust that every detail will be handled with care and responsibility

While many possess a casual interest in animal welfare, Brendan distinguishes himself through a rare combination of unwavering compassion and technical expertise. He doesn't just care for animals; he understands them, consistently applying his impressive depth of knowledge to ensure their highest level of well-being.

I have a 95lb. American Bully (Remi) who often intimidates people even tho he is the sweetest boy. But it often makes it hard to find someone who will care for him. He’s is my baby so I’m very particular and he is on a schedule that I worry about when away. Brendan has been God sent! He cares for my Remington as he is his own pet, keeps him on schedule, is always available when needed and I don’t worry while traveling because I know all is well back at home. I would HIGHLY recommend Brendan to anyone who is looking for care for their pet.

Brendan has cared for our dog, Ohana, in our home, and I have also seen him care for and interact with other dogs and cats. He definitely has a special gift when it comes to pet care. I call him a "pet whisperer". He is quiet and gentle, and he really tunes in to the animal's energy, emotions, and body language, which quickly fosters understanding and trust. Brendan is patient, keen on observation, and often a calm, assertive presence, which allows him to connect with pets on their level. Brendan is extremely reliable and trustworthy. If you are able to connect with Brendan to take care of your furbaby, you will feel like you hit the jackpot and will never again feel guilty leaving your pet to go to work or travel or whatever the reason may be.
