Safety, trust & environment
Pet safety is very important to me as a sitter! I will always make sure that I locked up all entryways before ending my visit. All items taken out for the visit (food, toys, leash, etc) will be returned to their designated spots prior to my departure.
Information Brenna D. would like to know about your pet
I would like to have an active conversation about your pets prior to our first sitting. Is your dog scared of anything in particular? Where might your cat be hiding during my first few visits? What is your pet's personality like on a normal day, and what changes might mean your pet is overly stressed? What types of exercise (and for how long) is your pet used to? Does your dog have any injuries or illnesses I should know about? Optimally we can ask each other questions and give some answers so we are on the same page!
A typical day
I can be flexible and creative with your pets' needs. Regardless of if a trail, a sidewalk, a dog park, or a yard is what we have to work with, I will make sure your pet is happy and engaged! With cats, I am very happy to meet them where they are at!

Attentive Dog & Cat Enthusiast
Pet care experience
I have independently cared for my own pets for my entire adult life. Currently, I care for two cat companions. I also help the TNRed community cats that live around my neighborhood (I always name the regulars and chat with them from a comfortable distance). I love letting dogs and cats explore the outdoors on leashed walks (yes, I can walk a harness-trained cat!). I am experienced giving scheduled medicine and feeding pets on special diets. I am happy to learn about and care for the special needs of your pets. I can't wait to work with you and your fur babies! I am an instructor at a university, so I have less availability Mondays, Wednesdays, and Fridays during the fall and spring semesters during lectures and meetings. I will be available mornings (4:30 AM to 6 AM) and evenings (any time after 4:30 PM). I wake up early daily and can assist with pet care very early morning! My current and former pets each have all had their quirks and personality, but ultimately, I have always worked my hardest to make them feel safe and very loved. My priority is a routine, consistent, and currated schedule for pets that aims to prevent hunger, dehydration, and inside accidents while optimizing exercise, mental stimulation, and cuddles. I have experience with both trained and untrained dogs; friendly and shy cats; and everything between! I am familiar with crate training schedules, positive reinforcement (treat administration, affirming tone, etc), and spatial training with dogs that jump or lunge. I am a cat lover and have never met one I disliked! I can also work with dietary and eating routines for dogs and cats.
Reviews
This was my first time using Rover and Brenna was very helpful. She went above and beyond with her notes and pictures. The reassurance and my confidence with her is 20 stars! Thank you!


If I could give Brenna 10 stars, I would! She went above and beyond to share photos and written updates on how the pups were doing. She was prompt communicative across all our interactions. You can tell she really loves animals and takes the time to ensure that both the pets and the owners are well taken care of. My dogs absolutely loved her and I can’t wait to use her again in the future!

Always goes above and beyond. Even did the amazing favor of bringing some packages (heavy ones at that) into my apartment while I was gone on vacation. Always very thorough and thoughtful. My go to.
Brenna is fabulous. That is why I repeatedly book her. I trust her completely!
