I’m super caring and responsible and have an eye for detail. If you have specific instructions for the care of your pet I adhere to them to the word and if things should come up, I am not afraid to ask questions and check in with the pet owners.
Information Brennen M. would like to know about your pet
The only things I really need to know are if they are on a specific walking, feeding, etc schedule and if they have any specific needs that need to be met. Also if there’s something that you want for them that I can possibly assist in.
A typical day
I enjoy going on walks with the pets in my care. Taking them for some water play on particularly hot days. Enjoy playing fetch and going to the dog parks. While i personally don’t have a dog, I have some lovely friends who have adorable friendly dogs for play dates.

Pet care experience
Hi there! My name is Brennen. I’m a current MFA Grad student at the University of Iowa. I was born in Philly. I worked as a freelance artist and teacher, and I have a ton of experience taking care of various pets and animals such as dogs, cats, even a hamster and a snapping turtle lol! (Seriously though) I’m incredibly responsible and caring. From the time I was about 11, I walked and cared for my own dogs as well as family friends' and neighbors’ dogs. I have also house-sat for a few friends’ cats and dogs. Part of some of those experiences required me to walk, feed, brush, and even administer oral medication to the pet in my care. As a freelance artist and current student, I have flexible availability, and I am always willing to work with different and varying schedules. Right now I'm on Summer Break and will be going back home to Philly for a workshop in July, so I'll be local there for a bit. I am a very caring and understanding human with a calm and inviting demeanor. I do well with paying attention to detail. If there are specific in-home care needs, I am very adept at following said care instructions as well as taking as many notes as possible.
Reviews

My dog's regular walker had a last-minute emergency and had to cancel on me right at the time of the scheduled walk. I quickly requested a walk with Brennen and he was at my house to walk my dog within 15 minutes of my request. He was super friendly, responsive, and helpful. I am very grateful and will absolutely use Brennen for walks in the future. I would definitely recommend him to anyone else looking for a walker.

My pocket pittie LOVES Brennen! He’s been a great dog sitter when I have trips and dog walker when I’m at the office. The neighbors say great things when they see Brennen with my pitbull. I trust Brennen to keep my pitbull away from other dogs and he’s been great with my home. Highly recommend Brennen!
Brennen is the best!! He’s done short term and extended stays to watch my senior cat. I trust him in my home, and his greater judgement. He is great about check ins if requested, but can act independently if that’s your preference. My cat can be a major brat when she’s mad (like biting and scratching) and Brennen still made sure she got her medication. I felt like it was difficult to give her meds, and she’s mine, I assume she gave Brennen such a hard time, and he never complained once. My cat also has issues going outside of her litter box, Brennen never reached out to complain, though I’m sure he wanted to. He understood that providing care to an animal means assisting in their bathroom needs. (Yes I warned him about the issue.) Brennen was so respectful of my home, was open to doing a quick orientation session before we confirmed work, was so friendly, quick to respond to a text, I truly cannot recommend Brennen enough. He’s a gem and you would be lucky to have him assist in the care of your furry loved ones.
