Pet care experience

Flexible Walks & Drop-Ins 🐾

I’ve spent 6 years caring for dogs of all sizes and personalities, from Maltese to Huskies, and I genuinely enjoy building trust with every pet I meet. I recently relocated to Pasadena and work from home as a freelance podcast producer, which gives me a very flexible schedule for walks, drop-ins, and last-minute needs, including weekends. I’m attentive to each pet’s comfort level and personality, whether that means active play, calm companionship, or giving them space to warm up at their own pace. I’m happy to do a quick meet-and-greet beforehand so both you and your pet feel completely comfortable before the first visit. I’m reliable, communicative, and treat every pet like my own. I also provide updates so you always know how your pet is doing. My goal is simple: to make sure your pet feels safe, cared for, and happy while you’re away.

Safety, trust & environment

I like to ideally meet pets with their owner prior to starting visits to help them get comfortable with me to ensure my first visit goes as smooth as possible. I am as touchy feely with animals as their comfort level allows.

Brody took great care of Joey while we were away. He communicated well, kept Joey on his schedule and the house was tidy when we arrived home. Would definitely recommend Brody and we will use him again.

Brody was amazing with our 2 dogs Kota and Emi. He sent photos and took Kota to the beach each day to walk her. She loved it. Emi loved all the attention. He also left the house just as clean as when we left. We already have him booked for the next trip!

Dog Walking • Feb 13, 2023

We had Brody give our dog 3 walks while we were out of town. He stopped by ahead of time to meet our dog and immediately hit it off with her. She is reactive to other dogs and he made sure to walk her at times and on routes to avoid other animals as much as possible to reduce her anxiety. It’s clear that Brody is a dog lover and dogs respond to his personality and energy. We will definitely use him again.

Brody was there for us when we needed him last minute. Our dogs Sam and Lila love when he comes to visit! Brody is spot on with our dogs schedules and always sends us photos when he's visiting. Thank you Brody for taking such great care of our crew!

I love all breeds of dogs and really like to get familiar with what they enjoy doing, as well as if they are shy or rescues to know to be more sensitive in getting to know them.
