Gentle pet care 🎶
Pet care experience
Hello! My name's Brett, and I’m a songwriter, producer, and lover of animals. While I am new to this app, I have been involved in pet care for more than five cumulative years. The services I provide include dog walking, daytime visits, and housesitting. I grew up with six guinea pigs and a parakeet, so I have a soft spot for rodents and birds. As a middle schooler, every week I would bike to my neighbor’s house to take care of their menagerie (2 dogs, 1 cat, 2 horses, fish, and a parrot). From there, I worked with a dog walking company in Madison, WI for a couple of years before I did some freelance housesitting. Over the past five years, I have grown a huge affinity toward cats and dogs. I’m currently living with two adorable Guinea pigs named Yuna (the brown/white one) and Rikku (the white mohawk one). I also regularly look after my neighbor’s three cats. I have a gentle personality and love to cuddle with pets. Being a singer-songwriter, if your pet doesn't mind being serenaded by mellow fingerpicking folk music (think Paul Simon x Gregory Alan Isakov), I would love to do so! Some of the reactions I've had from pets in the past have been priceless. One dog howled with me when I went into falsetto! If you have any questions, don’t hesitate to ask. I look forward to hearing from you! :)
Reviews
Brett took great care of my two dogs recently. The one dog has a bit of energy, and is very opinionated on walks and Brett handled her well. Communicated great, lots of updates on how they were doing and even a photo! I recommend him..
Brett took care of our dog twice this summer. He is so wonderful & took such good care of our Looney. She was happy & settled when we got home. He walked her at least once a day, gave her lots of love & attention. We would be happy to have him take care of our dog anytime & you should not hesitate to have him care for yours!
"Brett is by far our first choice when we need a dog and chicken sitter. We have used his service on several occasions. During that time, he kept the house clean and tidy, stayed in communication with us, and sent pics, eliminating the stress of leaving the dogs and chickens behind. Above all, Brett is trustworthy, and our dogs and chickens love him." -Kristi & Becky Breezer
You will find Brett to be a very responsible & loving pet sitter. We have 2 dogs, one of which is very elderly & requires special care. Brett went above & beyond to make sure his needs were met. I would definitely recommend him as your pet sitter.

Skills
Safety, trust & environment
In the initial consultation, I make sure to really get to know the pet(s) to make sure we’re a good fit and the pet(s) feel safe with me.
Information Brett S. would like to know about your pet
Let me know if your dog has any particular quirks I should look out for. I’ve dealt with dogs and cats of all ages and temperaments, from dogs who couldn’t even walk, to ones that preferred to run. I’m flexible in that regard!
A typical day
I like to take different routes every walk to give the dog(s) (and myself!) a sense of adventure ? Hodag Park is one of my favorite spots.

Availability
I’m currently working part-time at a juice bar with mostly weekend shifts, which means that weekday walks are best for me. I can do drop-in visits and housesitting most days. I currently have room for one more dog walking client on weekday mornings, if anyone in downtown Rhinelander is interested!
