I have a decent amount of flexibility in my schedule (currently a graduate student), which enables me to be available for your pet during the week and weekend. I’m most often available for walks and home visits after 2pm on certain weekdays and during the evening, and am able to pet-sit in the evenings, weekends, and overnight as well.

Safety, trust & environment

I prioritize empathetic, highly attentive interactions with the animals I care for, and will work hard to ensure your animal is both safe and truly looked after. I also value and respect your pet’s need for consistency in feeding and exercise schedules! And, because every pet has slightly different needs and lifestyles, I’m happy to accommodate your specific requests during walks, feeding, and play.

Information Brendan P. would like to know about your pet

Do feel free to fill me in on any special needs or salient behaviors your dog might have! For example, I'm more than happy to accommodate unique commands, specific leash etiquette, dog reactivity avoidance, feeding regimens, and more.

A typical day

My favorite sort of day with a dog typically involves a healthy amount of one-on-one play time coupled with walks (as long a walk as your dog needs!). If they have favorite toys or games, those will be heavily featured! Wherever we go on walks, I tend to prefer a nice nearby park and quiet sidewalks.

Pet care experience

As an experienced dog parent myself (I've raised a big sweetheart Great Dane from a small puppy and have always had special dogs in my family), I'm prepared to provide excellent and tender care for your furry family member, big or small. I also have 8 years of professional experience administering basic veterinary care to multiple species.

Brendan was wonderful. Our dogs fell in love with him right away and it was clear they had a great time. Brendan was communicative and gave us great photos. Thanks again!

Brendan is wonderful with my dog, Jack. We are so grateful to have him as a resource to help when we need a walker. Grab him if he’s available! Thank you, Brendan!

Our pup loves Brendan! He always takes the extra time to make our dog feel especially loved and is very detailed with his time with our doggo!
