About Brendan

Hello, my name is Brendan and I would like to extend an offer to care for your pets in your time of need.

A bit about me, my pets, and my history:

    From a young age, I was always fascinated by nature and had such respect for it and the animal kingdom. I love animals of all kinds, not just pets...but of course, pets hold a special place in all our hearts.
    As a cat dad to my old boy, Rorschach, and keeper of Lolth, the tarantula, I know what it's like to provide for pets with a variety of needs. Growing up, cats were always a part of my family, they have always been in my life and I adore them! While I've never personally had the privilege of a dog in my family, I absolutely love them as well and they tend to love me right back.
    If you should choose to acquire my services, I look forward to making your acquaintance at a meet-and-greet and to meeting your fur-babies (or which ever kind of critter needs looking after) and finding out all about the personality quirks and specific needs of these new friends.

About my experience and services:

    I'm new to the sitter service and so the only experience I currently have, apart from the constant care of my own pets, is looking after those of my friends and family. That being said, I am trustworthy, dependable, honest and caring, I'm open to learning and I follow instructions well.
    Having needed sitters to look after my own pets when I've been away, I understand what it's like to stress and be concerned that they'll receive the care and attention they need. That is why I respect the job of sitter, take it seriously, and am happy to provide you with updates, including pictures, of how your little loved ones are doing.
    I am located in the Nepean area, fairly close to Algonquin College and I rely on public transit to get around. However, I'm willing to travel to other parts of the city if you're located in another area. While I don't need to price for gas, I may ask for a small amount extra to account for time, if I'm travelling far. However, I'm willing to be flexible and negotiate depending on your needs, whether they be:
- taking pets out for potty time
- scooping/cleaning/changing litter or pads
- enclosure care
- taking for walks/providing exercise
- feeding, watering, cleaning and maintaining dishes/fountains/dispensers 
- if medication is required, I will learn how to properly administer 
- spending time to give some loving attention, petting, and scritching as well as playing with toys so your pets don't get too lonely or bored while you are away

Availability is currently open but may change with work schedule. I will be transparent and as immediate as possible in updating availability if it should change.
- once per day visits
- multiple visits per day
- walking service
- overnight stay
- weekend/extended trip recurring visits
*due to my own pets and limited space, I am not offering boarding or services at my own residence*

If I seem like the right fit for you, contact me and we'll arrange a meet-and-greet to make sure it's a good fit. I look forward to hearing from you. 
Have a wonderful day!

Brendan is wonderful with our little demanding cat, Ashgan. She loves him and he’s very sweet with her.

Brendan is an amazing pet sitter. Our cat absolutely loves him. He kept in contact with us and always let us know our baby girl was doing well.

Definitely recommend Brendan.
