Being my own boss means I can pause for a game of fetch or a quick snuggle whenever your dog gives me "the look." My schedule revolves around their tail wags.

"Think of me as the fun uncle who also happens to be a stickler for safety. My two dogs and I are ready to welcome your pup into our pack for playdates, long naps, and all the fetch they can handle!"

Brenden is amazing and took such great care of Mulligan! We were able to fully enjoy a wedding celebration knowing our dog was in great hands. Brenden took the dogs hiking and lots of play was had which was perfect to tire Mulligan out ahead of our 6 hour drive home. Highly recommend!!!

Brendan was amazing, and game for all of my Frenchie’s quirks and needs! He was very responsive, and even met me half-way at the very last minute so I wouldn’t be late! Recommend him HIGHLY!!!

Brenden was absolutely fantastic with Rocky and Misty! He is a natural with dogs and handled their high energy with ease, making sure they got plenty of exercise and attention. He was professional, reliable, and sent great updates that showed how happy and relaxed they were in his care. It’s clear he truly enjoys what he does, and my two warmed up to him immediately. I’ll definitely be reaching out to him again—highly recommend!

Brenden is hands-down the best sitter I’ve ever had. I have high-energy Border Collies, and he handles their intensity with incredible ease. He spends a massive amount of time playing fetch and making sure they get the exercise they actually need to stay happy and settled. Beyond the play, I have total peace of mind when they are with him. It’s clear they adore him—he’s definitely their favorite human besides me—and I feel completely comfortable knowing they are safe and well-cared for. If you have active dogs and want someone you can truly trust, I cannot recommend Brenden enough.
