Friendly, Caring, and Experienced
Pet care experience
Please read my whole profile, I cover a lot of info here! I am happy to answer any questions. In addition to petsitting I work remotely, so my hours are flexible and I am able to be present for the significant majority of the day. I am responsible and clean. I’m patient, friendly, and fun. I have extensive personal pet experience as well as many years working with horses and kids. I love all animals! I’m good with all types, the attention driven to the space lovers. Whoever your buddy is I’m ready to give them what they need. I will actually play with them and cuddle and treat them like they’re my own! I’m also happy to help with aquariums and terrariums and all their inhabitants. I am definitely a plant lady myself. Whether you love dogs or cats, let’s all agree birds are the weirdest. Im going to draw the line at birds. Just kidding, I’ll take care of your chickens too!
Reviews
I was nervous to use Rover for the first time with my nearly 14 year old dog. Brenna kindly came to do a meet and greet which greatly put me at ease. She was a good fit because she works from home and was with our dog a lot of the time which was wonderful. The sent lots of cute pictures and updates and was responsive to any questions I had. She left the house pristine and even washed her sheets and towels which i told her she didn’t need to worry about. I would book Brenna again and the only thing I need to do is better clarify dog walking frequency. Overall, a great experience!
Having recently moved to Boulder we were in search for someone we could depend on to watch Cedar when we go out of town occasionally. After much hesitation we decided to try Rover.. and Brenna! We came back to a happy dog and clean home. Thank you so much!
We just got home yesterday and the both dogs are happy and healthy!!! Brenna was very caring and loving towards our dogs. We received daily pictures and updates which always puts your mind at rest when you are gone for a week. Additionally, she took great care of our house and was very professional. Everything was clean and tidy when we got home. Will definitely use Brenna again!
Brenna took great care of my boys, as usual!

**Delays happen with what I do, so booking times are a reasonable window of time rather than an exact to the minute appointment time. That also means I am not constantly immediately responsive on my phone** We will need to agree on start/end times regardless of the times you enter into a booking request. I only meet in person for walk throughs and get acquainted meetings for confirmed bookings in *Boulder*, no exceptions. Please ask me any questions on here or we can set up a call. I am exclusively offering petsitting care in your home at this time. An overnight includes staying through breakfast routine the next day. My services DO include: feeding, medication administration, walking/litterbox changing, playtime, and unlimited cuddles as desired within reasonable windows of time. I’ll also bring your mail in and water houseplants. My services DO NOT include: grooming, training, transportation, errand running, snow shoveling, lawn mowing, or gardening. ***Petsitting DOES NOT include house management: receiving, coordinating, or interacting with contractors or third parties of any sort or being present at specific times to receive deliveries. (if you just need a door left unlocked/key left for housekeepers etc. that’s totally fine). *All communication will remain on the app per Rover’s policy. Though I may respond, I put my phone on ‘do not disturb from 9pm-9am.
Information Brenna S. would like to know about your pet
While petcare info is generally pretty easy to manage, I ask that you write any dosage or food amounts or specific instructions in your booking or out on paper for me to reference.
A typical day
I don’t offer boarding in my home, so I try to keep daily activities pretty close to their regular routine in your home to keep them happy. Even the easiest going of friends can feel a bit disoriented when their family is away, so my goal is as close to normal or better. I hope they view it as a slumber party! I will care for your pet with the same love and attention as if they’re my own. *All of that said, I do need to be able to come and go for reasonable windows of time, extreme separation anxiety that must be *constantly* supervised is not the right fit for me. I also don’t restrict my schedule to accommodate in person handoffs. I will still be doing other drop ins or going to the dentist, on errands, our out to dinner, but not spending long spells away. If your dog does need constant supervision I would of course expect an hourly rate. Standard night includes all feeding & mediation administration and 2-3 30 minute walks/day or litterbox cleanings. On night also includes am breakfast routine the following morning, anything beyond that is an additional charge.

Brenna can watch in your home
Availability
I am currently offering housesitting/overnight pet sitting in YOUR home only. Pets do much better when staying in their own home and sticking closely to their normal routine when their primary caretakers are away. A few notes about services offered:
