ABOUT BRANDY
Brandy finished her studies in psychology at Towson University and while in graduate school began working as a petsitter for A&B's Pampered Pets in Ellicott City, MD. In 2006 she spread her wings and started BEK Petsitting in Baltimore. Turns out walking dogs was a lot more fun than psychological analysis.
She has several years experience with animal care, including veterinary experience and she even worked for a local pet store in her home town for three years before moving to Baltimore for college.
Brandy's dog, Creed, is more than spoiled rotten and has been her faithful companion for all of his nine years. He's a Doberman and Shepard mix, with maybe a few other breeds in there somewhere. He spends his days snoring away on his favorite chair, occasionally waking up to bark at the mailman and the other neighborhood dogs. His favorite pastimes are eating, "helping" to "clean" the kitchen counters and playing in the snow.
ABOUT KIM
Kim worked as a petsitter for A&B's Pampered Pets in Ellicott City while finishing her studies in Criminal Justice at the University of Maryland. Turns out that walking dogs was a lot more fun than chasing criminals. Kim started working with BEK Petsitting in 2007 when she moved to Baltimore and when not walking dogs she is attending to her own sweet pup.
Kim has many years of animal care and petsitting experience. She has had dogs all of her life and is an excellent caretaker of all dogs, kitties and other loving pets, including reminding Brandy to feed her own fish.
Kim's dog, Coco, was adopted by Kim when he was just a year old from a family with not enough time to devote the attention to him that he needed. He is a standard poodle who is big for his breed although Kim wonders if his brain is ever going to catch up. He's got a lot of energy with a lot of love and passed his training classes with flying colors. His favorite pastimes include springing high into the air to kiss his human friends, destroying stuffed animals, eating socks and snuggling with his mommy.
