Availability

I work on-site from 6-7 am to 3:30-4 pm weekly- this makes me unavailable for walks/drop-ins during those times. I could take extended lunches around 12 pm and make drop-ins in the Ada and Lowell area. I am available to provide boarding for your dog any day of the week. Just know that they will be alone during the work week and have to hold their potty time until I get home! I normally let pets free roam when I am not home as long as they do not mark.

Safety, trust & environment

I have a large back yard, it is unfenced but I never allow my dog unattended outside unless he was on a leash. We go on nature walks. I do love walking in the subdivision behind my home after work to reduce stress his and my stress, so hopefully your pet likes walks!

Information Brenton F. would like to know about your pet

Just notify me if any needs, habits, likes and dislikes. Are they allowed treats. I am very fond of rewarding positive behavior with food, as long as that is acceptable to you.

A typical day

I wake up and exercise for approximately 20 minutes while I prepare for my day. After getting home from the office the first thing I do is I will go for a long walk in the subdivision behind the house, if is raining we play and have some quality time before I feed him dinner, give him a potty break. Then I will do my after pm workout. The rest is pretty typical stuff

Pets

Greetings!

Pet care experience

I'd be happy to be your Rover. Providing an excellent experience and service for you and your furry friend is my goal! Specific feeding times, long walks, special treats, or anything else just let me know. I can guarantee that your dog will be happy and healthy under my care. I currently have a 6-year-old mixed breed dog. I got him from a local shelter and he is a bit hyper but loves to play with other dogs. I had a Boston Terrier. He has been my forever friend for the past 12 years until he passed due to unexpected tumor growths in his lungs. Being with him through his puppy stages, and now into his senior years has taught me a lot. He truly was my best friend, my son, and I will always miss seeing his derpy face in the window staring at me as I pulled into the drive. Thank you, and I hope to meet your dog!

Brenton has been doing drop in visits for our two dogs for the past three weeks. We gave him 5 starts for his patience, flexibility, and reliability. One of our dogs is very fearful of new visitors, and Brenton was patient and let her warm up to him slowly and did not pressure her to do what he wants (like go outside, be pet, etc). He has not missed a day or forgotten about an appointment and even reminded me when I forgot to confirm an appointment. He always sends me a picture of my dogs during the visit, which is great! Thanks for taking care of our pups!

Brenton is a fantastic sitter! He is my go-to person when I need someone to care for my dog Nero. Brenton is trustworthy, responsible, fun and affectionate with dogs and Nero just adores him! Brenton's dog Rook is also great company for Nero and a welcome guest when Brenton is house sitting. Brenton sends lots of updates and pictures when I'm away and always responds quickly. I can always count on Brenton to provide wonderful care - I highly recommend him!
