I care for pets with love most like everyone else, and I will extend the love for my dog to your four legged friends at home.

Information Brendan W. would like to know about your pet

Any important details about your pet’s behavior, preferences, health, or restrictions would be greatly appreciated. I am fully capable of tending to any dog provided I know what he/she needs.

A typical day

I love taking dogs for long walks to new areas and tiring them out before relaxing together enjoying some scratches and petting. My dog plays with toys in a bizarre way so I too enjoy playing with new dogs in their own fun way.

Pets

Great with high energy dogs.

Pet care experience

I have taken care of family dogs as well as my own household animals for over 10 years. I have watched both large and small dogs, and currently have a boxer, so I am used to high energy dogs as well. I have trained dogs when they are puppies, and have cared for senior dogs as well.

Brandon was absolutely incredible. From the moment he arrived, it was clear he has a natural connection with dogs—Luna and Rosie were completely at ease with him in a way we rarely see with others. It honestly felt like having a true dog whisperer in our home. He was punctual, professional, and carried himself with a calm confidence that made the entire experience effortless. Knowing how our dogs typically react to new people, this level of comfort and trust meant everything to us. We would absolutely book Brandon again without hesitation, and we highly recommend him to anyone looking for someone reliable, intuitive, and genuinely gifted with animals.

Brendan was great! He was very timely and bonded immediately with our dogs which has not been the case with others. I recommend that others not happy with their current dog walker give him a try.

Brendan has lived with a dog in his home for the past fourteen years. He is accustomed to dealing with both purebred dogs and rescued mixed breeds. He is a very mature and responsible young man. His absolutely loves dogs, not only in their daily care, but also appreciates long walks and playing in whatever manner the dog enjoys, from sitting quietly to more energetic play. He will be your dog's new best friend!
