Meet Brenda

  • Comfortable with pets
  • Has a car

My philosophy while watching your children is to be there to engage, whether its walking to the park, playing catch, board games, or reading. I want to make it a positive experience for them because I understand sometimes the separation is difficult. I am happy to help out when needed perhaps evenings, date nights or anytime on weekends.

Brenda has watched my 4 year old lab mix/rescue a bunch of times. She is extemely flexible with picking my dog up and dropping her off and they have a great yard that she loves. They also take her for walks and give her medication that she needs. I would HIGHLY recommend Brenda for any of your Pet Sitting needs. She is the best dog sitter that I have ever had!

Brenda watched our 5 month old son during our first date night out. She arrived right on time and asked great questions about our son's bedtime routine. Brenda seemed very kind and sensitive and our son warmed up to her right away. She kept in touch by text message throughout the night so we knew our son was sleeping soundly. She was the first person to put him to bed besides us -- and he had one of his best nights of sleep yet! We were very happy with the care Brenda provided and recommend her highly.

Brenda and her mom Kathy are great contacts to have for senior care. Since Brenda is more available nights and weekends, and Kathy is more available weekdays, and our need was for weekdays, it was Kathy who came to care for my 91-year old mom Kathleen this time, for four days. My mom reports: "Kathy is so friendly, so easy and pleasant to be with. She felt like a instant sister; we had a lot in common. She anticipates needs very well. It was an enjoyable time." I'm sure that we'll be having Brenda and/or Kathy back again when the need arises. It will be a comfort to the rest of the family to know that we have that option, schedules permitting.

Brenda was a wonderful babysitter for our two very young, busy boys. Also her mom Kathy babysat for us. They are both people that you would love to have a part of your family. They are very quick to respond. They both engaged our kids and our boys really liked both of them. We initally hired Brenda to take care of our 12 year old dog, and she did a wonderful job with that as well. I would definitely recommend Brenda and if I didn't move out of state would be calling her all the time.

Brenda and her mom Kathy, who also babysat for us, were both very professional. I especially liked their calm and 'can do' attitudes, and recommend them wholeheartedly.

Brenda has been a great help watching our chocolate lab. She is responsive, clearly loves pets and very accomodating and helpful. We will absolutely continue to use here when she is available.

My husband and I needed a sitter at the last minute to look after our two young daughters ages 2 and 5months. After several replies to our posting we contacted Brenda and we could not have picked a better person for the job. Brenda was punctual and very cheerful, our 2 year old immediately took to her. Brenda played with the girls, read with them, took them to the park, and prepared dinner. Upon our return both girls were smiling and happy. Our 2 year old even grabbed onto Brenda's legs because she didn't want her to leave. We were completely satisfied with Brenda and will be calling her for future outings.
