Pet care experience

Responsible, Experienced, Trusted

I've cared for dogs for 18 years as an owner, so I know the day-to-day realities of feeding schedules, exercise needs, and reading a dog's mood. I also served as a foster caregiver, acting as the transition home between rescue organizations and a dog's new family — which means I'm comfortable with dogs who are anxious, adjusting to a new environment, or still learning house manners. I treat every dog in my care like they're my own, with patience and attention to their individual needs. And I have a sister with over 2 years of consistent, 5-star reviews in South Jersey - we're a dog lover household!

Safety, trust & environment

Since I focus on walks and drop-in visits, I prioritize your home's security every visit — locking doors behind me, following any specific instructions you leave, and sticking closely to your pet's normal routine. I stay alert to their comfort and body language throughout, so they feel safe and at ease with me the whole time.

Brendan is wonderful!! He was on time, took good care of my dogs, spent time with them and trustworthy. I had no worries knowing that Brendan was talking care of them.

Brendan is an animal lover and animals gravitate to him naturally. He has cared for both our families cats and dog. Our dog Maisy loves him, as she gets extremely happy around him. We hired him for overnight stays and have been very pleased with his care. It’s nice to know that we can travel out of state and know our animals are in good care. I’m not sure how much Maisy misses us, as she loves the extra playtime and snuggles Brendan gives her. We explained her routine and he followed our instructions enthusiastically.

Brendan is a longtime family friend who dog sits for us whenever needed. He once watched Summer for 2 wks while we went abroad. He is very reliable and attentive. Summer adores him!

Schedule

Pet care fits naturally into my routine. I'm available weekday evenings and weekends (with occasional flexibility weekday mornings/afternoons too). This means I can offer reliable, consistent walks and visits without rushing, so your pet gets my full attention every time.

Cats
0 to 15 lbs
16 to 40 lbs
Dogs over 1 year old
Brendan can host up to 2 drop-ins per day
For walks, please let me know favorite routes or areas to avoid, specific commands they respond to, and any reactivity toward other dogs or people. Please also let me know thier feeding schedule (if applicable). And knowing their personality — shy, energetic, food-motivated — helps me tailor each visit to what makes them most comfortable and happy.
