About: I had a dog in my family for around 10 years. He was really the best. It was so fun to watch him grow up and take care of him through it all. I absolutely adore animals and love to give them attention, play with them and learn with them. I work full time but have different hours and sometimes will be available in the mornings, sometimes the middle of the day, and sometimes weekends! I will always have time for animals. I provide a safe and comforting environment for dogs and humans alike. I am very considerate and observant of everything around me so I will always make sure everyone is safe and having a great time with everything they need. I am very respectful of people’s space and always make sure to leave things the way I found them.

About: I have a deep love for dogs and 25 years of experience caring for them. I can assist with training, administer medications as needed, and ensure your pet receives plenty of exercise, attention, and loving care. "As a work-from-home professional, I have ample time and a genuine love for animals. I offer a variety of pet care services, including boarding, home sitting, daycare, walks, and playtime, available on both weekdays and weekends." I'm flexible and can adapt to your dog's specific care needs. To ensure a safe environment for all, dogs will remain on a leash on my 3-acre property unless they are exceptionally well-trained off-leash. Please let me know if you'd like to include walks on Bay Beach, the beach, or at a dog run in your dog's care plan.

“Brenda was absolutely amazing! I needed a last minute sitter for two dogs, and she was incredibly responsive and communicative before, during, and after the visit. She followed all instructions carefully, sent plenty of updates and photos, and made me feel totally at ease. I would definitely book with her again!”


“I’m so happy to have found Lacina in the sea of prospects! From the very first meeting, my dog Cub, who’s usually shy around strangers, immediately warmed up to her. It was clear right away that she has a natural connection with animals. Dogs know good people, and Lacina is definitely one of them! We both absolutely love her, and I’m so grateful to have found someone so trustworthy and kind.”

Our dog and cat liked Deb immediately, and her visits throughout the day were well communicated and all went smoothly. We were able to relax and enjoy our day —so thankful for Deb!”
