Brent did a wonderful job for us house sitting and watching our 3 dogs. Our pups really enjoyed the time they spent with him and they seem none the worse for wear as a result of our absence. Brent left our house in good shape, brought in our mail and watered our plants. He even sent us pictures of the dogs while we were gone and stayed in touch via text message. Definitely recommend.

Brent did a good job with our dog and kitten. He even cleaned up after a plant the kitten knocked over. That said, he also made some very questionable decisions about our house plants. Even though we left explicit instructions that they didn't need to be watered, Brent moved every plant in the house onto the kitchen counter/ kitchen sink (including removing hanging plants from their hangers, breaking several branches in the process). Y'all, he found EVERY plant. The one on the shelf behind the door in the bathroom? Found it. The one that he had to stretch across the kitchen table to get from the hanger in the corner? Found it. Top of the fridge? By the door? Hanging in the bedroom? Got em all! Not only did he move all the plants, he left all of the plates behind (even though those are clearly needed under pots) and then (over) watered them while they sat plateless on the kitchen counter. Thus, we came home to happy animals, but waterlogged plants and counters, and a sink full of dirt. While I might have Brent pet sit, I would hesitate to have him house (plant) sit. Plant parents beware!

We hired Brent to house sit for us on numerous occasions as we are avid travelers. He takes great care of our home, dogs, and plants while we are away. Our dogs enjoy the walks, trips to the park, and Brent shares the sweetest pictures of them. It's difficult to simply hand over the keys to your house and code to your alarm but we found Brent to be incredibly trustworthy and reliable. He is also an excellent communicator. If he has a question about something or if there's ever a concern with our pets or our home, Brent does not hesitate to contact us so we never have to worry. Brent is now family to us and our dogs and I think they can't wait for us to leave so they can see him again! Brent provides us with peace of mind knowing our home and pets are in the best care. We feel very fortunate to have found Brent.

Safety, trust & environment

I have no pets of my own, but I am very attentive to the needs of pet owners. I enjoy interacting with dogs in a playful, interactive way that makes them feel 'included in the pack' even if their owner(s) are absent.

Information Brent W. would like to know about your pet

Dietary restrictions, pace of walk, intensity of playtime, amount of food, frequency of treats. I am particularly keen to know the ratio of activity and feeding times--consistency between these is critical to a dog's health.

A typical day

If we are in an open-area park without a fence, I keep them on a leash and do a casual run or walk depending on the age of the dog, always allowing the pet to sniff whatever attracts them. It's their time--not mine.
