Pet Friendly Home - Long Time Dog Owner & Lover

Pet care experience

Long Time Dog Owner. I would like the opportunity to love and care for your special family member when you are not able to yourself. I have had special friends live inside my house, as well as outside in my spacious, fenced-in backyard. Your family member will have plenty of room to run around, play, or just relax while in my care. I will be able to give your pet all of my attention and love while they are with me. I am a firm believer in making sure your pet will receive the love and care necessary to make his or her stay with me just like “home”. I am willing to follow schedules you have in place already with your pet, as well as any other accommodations that might be necessary. This includes, but is not limited to taking walks with your pet, or administering medication. Thanks again! I would appreciate and treasure the opportunity to care for yours. About this sitter: I am a mature, responsible adult with a flexible job and dependable transportation. I own a nice 2 bedroom home in south Lubbock, with a huge backyard that your special family member would enjoy, especially if they like being outdoors. If they prefer life in the cozy indoors, I have a nice roomy area inside my home where they can be comfortable. I am single with no children living in my home, so your pet would get lots of love, care, and full attention while in my care. I recently lost my special family member Rex, a Rat Terrier, after 17 short years. I am not looking to replace him, but I would love the opportunity to stay involved in the doggie community around Lubbock. Helping others who need a dependable, responsible sitter for their dog while they are away is a way I would like to stay involved. I promise that you will not have to worry about your pet while you are away. I will see that he or she has the best care possible, and all the comforts of home. Thank you in advance for considering me when you are in the need for someone to care for your dog while you are away.

Brent was great with my pups and was a loving companion to them when we were gone. I'm just sorry that he couldn't come with us when we moved away.

I was hesitant to let a complete stranger stay in my home, but I had read several good reviews about Brent Swink and glad I decided on him. Raider seemed to be very happy when I got home. I recommend him. You can tell he loves dogs and probably other animals. He sent pictures of the two of them in the car, outside and inside. Very good sitter.

Why I love dog sitting I have been a dog owner and lover my entire life for over 40 years. I grew up in a small country town raising dogs, rabbits, quail, chickens, etc. My "growing up" years dog was Heidi a dachshund then after I graduated Tech I found Rex, my Rat Terrier, and best friend who was 17 and just recently passed away.

Information Brent S. would like to know about your pet

No special preferences - would like to know a little about personality and habits and preferences. I will do whatever I can to meet any special needs and keep on your daily routines as much as possible.

A typical day

Here's where we'll take our walks I live in a quiet neighborhood with sidewalks and folks used to seeing me and Rex walking....like down the block from a school/park area so plenty of sidewalk and open space to play and walk. Your dog's sleeping arrangement Negotiable as well - Rex slept with me, I would hope we could out arrangements to stay with your "home" routine - if used to a crate, or outside, or on the floor by the bed, or in the bed....wherever you and yours are comfortable and prefer - no restrictions on my part. Time I'll spend with your dog As much as possible and needed...I would like to keep your dog on the same routine it is used to - number and time of walks, feeding, playtime, etc Time I'll spend with your dog As much as needed or required - for example - if yours is used to going on 4 walks a day at 8, 12, 4, 10...that is what we will do our best to keep up your regular routine. Extra house-sitting services Would love to do whatever you need me to do or wish me to do...
