Work from home near a dog park!

Pet care experience

Getting to take care of dogs is simply one of the most rewarding things I can possibly imagine! After all, dogs have done so much for me in my life, so I believe that it’s my duty to give back to them however possible. I am a lifelong dog owner with years of professional experience as a sitter, so I’m always happy to take on pups of any stripes! No matter what kind of pup you have, you can expect personalized service for your pooch so that they have absolutely everything they need to thrive! My experience with dogs began when I was little, as my parents always owned dogs that I help raise. I always knew that I would become a dog owner myself, and in my adult life I ended up rescuing two Pit Bulls, including my current 3-year-old Pit named Maisie! In addition to being a dog owner, I’ve also been working for close to a decade as a dog sitter and walker, and am now having so much fun exploring LA in this capacity! I recently moved to Rover when I started accepting new clients, and now I’m having even more fun and meeting even more pups than I thought possible. One of the best things about me as a dog sitter is that I work from home, meaning that I’ll be able to give your pup all the freedom they need to be happy. After all, no one likes to stick their pooch in a kennel or crate them up all day when they’re away, so I’m happy to make sure that your pup can be out and about enjoying life! Additionally, working from home allows me to navigate difficult schedules in order to ensure that your pup has everything they need, even if that falls outside some of the “normal working hours.” When taking on a new client, I typically like to schedule a meet-and-greet. It’s a great way to make sure that we’re all a good fit for one another, which is so important to me. Likewise, it gives us the opportunity to chat face-to-face about your pup and your care expectations. No one knows your dog better than you do, so it’s always great to chat with owners in person about what makes their pup tick! Finally, I just love meeting new dogs! I like to get down on their level to show them that I’m a welcome presence here to make friends, and I’m sure we’ll be best buddies in no time at all.

In a word Brendan was great!!!! He took great care of Kasie and she loved having him with her. We communicated daily and many days he sent pictures. This was not an easy assignment for Brendan as Kasie is a recent rescue and is a very strong and goofy girl who is still settling in to a new environment in our home. He kept our home very neat and we would have him back without hesitation.

Brendan is very professional. He has a very good contact with dogs. I felt very confident to leave my dog a few days.

Brendan was great! He came through with extremely short notice, and then again when i needed to extend my trip. We are so thankful! He also took great care of our two cats and their atmosphere while we were away. We look forward to working with him again soon!!

***PLEASE NOTE: For Doggy Day Care in your home, I charge my Holiday Rate per dog.*** Some things I like to learn ahead of time: - Would you like to schedule a meet-and-greet before the stay? - What’s your preferred method of communication? - Does your pup have any health issues that need to be tended to? For instance, dietary restrictions, medicine, or behavior triggers? - Do you have a vet nearby that you trust? - Is your dog spayed/neutered? - Does your pup like to stick to a given schedule, like regular walks in the morning and evening? - What does your pup do well around? What does your pup try to avoid? - What’s the best way to spoil your pup?

A typical day

I love to go on adventures! My pup, Maisie, and I are always getting out and about, because I believe that dogs are the happiest when they can get out and live life out in nature! I lead a very active life, so your pup will definitely have a good match in me if they like to get out and about for some high-energy playtime. Maisie and I are always trying to explore new things together, and bringing a new pooch into the fold is tons of fun. There are tons of things to do locally as well, from the local dog park to exploring the neighborhood together to even a few hikes. We’ll never be starved for adventure!
