Pet care experience

I love pets!

Hi there! My name is Brent, and I absolutely love pets. I moved to South Bend in August for a job in the Accessibility office at Notre Dame. Previously I worked at Marshall University in their Autism Support Program. When I was younger, I would beg my parents for a dog! The bond that humans and pets have is truly something special. Since my folks were too busy with three boys, I took every opportunity to dog or cat sit that I could find. From relatives, to families at church, there was no such thing as playing with too many cats and dogs. I have spent the most amount of time house/dog sitting for my girlfriends families 14 year old lab over the past 5 years, so I am certainly senior dog friendly! From walking, vet visits, and even a skunk attack, I have seen a lot. I look forward to caring for, and connecting with your furry friend!

Brent took such good care of our older dog that I’m not sure she wanted to leave. A very good experience!

We were recently able to enjoy a long weekend trip knowing our dog was receiving such good care from Brent! Brent sent us photos and an update midway through the trip. He's very dependable and is wonderful to our senior pup!

Brent was wonderful. Highly recommend him to watch your pet. It is obvious that he truly is an animal lover.
