About: Leash up! New clients welcome—let’s walk and wag! 🐾 Hi there! I’m Breanna—a lifelong animal lover raised on a farm, where caring for animals was second nature. I’m a nurse and now a stay-at-home mom who finds deep joy in looking after all kinds of pets and animals. When I’m with your dog, I don’t just walk or watch—I engage. I incorporate light training to reinforce good behavior, and I love taking candid, high-quality photos that my clients always rave about. The pictures are often their favorite part! Plus, I like to bring fresh carrots from my garden for treats and no matter what I make sure there is always fresh water in their bowl! With a flexible schedule, I’m able to offer reliable, attentive care tailored to your pet’s needs—whether that’s dogs, cats, birds, fish, or just about any animal needing love and support. Have a pet with special needs? I’ve got experience there too. I cared for our 6.5 yo Saint Bernard with severe medical needs for many years and I’m comfortable working with animals who require extra patience and understanding. Being a nurse has made me very attentive to animals needs! I know they’re your babies—because mine are too. They can’t tell us what they need, so it’s our job to show up with love, patience, and care they can feel. Can’t wait to hear from you! I have a very wide open schedule seven days a week to help care for your pet. Walking is such a necessity for my life and I find that this schedule fits perfectly into that! Here to help! 🤲🏼 We live on a third acre lot in town with a large wooden fence, dogs live inside, but enjoy the outdoors in the backyard. In order to stay at our home, I will be very particular to the dog because it is important for my dogs (Thunder & Murray.) I would love to establish a small cliental of individuals that are comfortable bringing the furbaby to our house for the consistency of everyone.

About: Having grown up with dogs my whole life, I have gained extensive hands-on experience and know exactly how to take good care of them. I love animals and enjoy taking them on long walks, playing with them, and ensuring they’re happy and healthy. I love taking dogs on long walks and understand how important it is for them to get outside and stay active. I'm a very active person myself, so regular walks are no problem for me. I’d be happy to take dogs to places like Bacon Creek or explore other great walking spots. I'm originally from Boulder Colorado, where I grew up hiking with my dogs, it’s one of my absolute favorite things to do!😁 I currently work part-time at Brekky’s coffee shop, where we always close in the afternoons. So, after 3:00 PM, I am always available to walk dogs. My schedule varies weekly — sometimes I work early mornings and can’t walk dogs beforehand, while other times I start later and have more free time. Because my schedule changes frequently, daily communication would work best for me. I’m very flexible and responsive when it comes to updating and managing those changes I have a fenced yard — it’s small but secure, perfect for dogs to play in. I live right behind Morningside University, which gives me access to many great places to walk dogs. I share a house with my boyfriend and roommates; we have separate rooms in the basement, providing plenty of space for dogs to stay overnight comfortably..

Every morning I make sure they have food and water and while I may not have an extensive food routine for them they do get their occasional healthy meal every so often so that they don’t only get dry food. I have a fenced yard and two indoor cats. I don’t personally use a crate but I can easily stick to that routine if needed

Cassandra T.
“Cass recently took care of our cat while we were on a two week trip. She took excellent care of her and sent us frequent updates and pictures. She also noticed some behavior indicating arthritis that we are having checked out by our vet. I’m sure that is due to her experience working in a vet clinic. I would highly recommend her as a pet caretaker.”
Anthony B.
“I couldn't be happier with my experience using Rover! My sitter was incredibly kind, professional, and provided regular updates with pictures of my pup. I felt completely at ease knowing my dog was in great hands. When I returned, she was happy, well-cared for, and had clearly been treated like family. I highly recommend Rover to anyone looking for trustworthy and loving pet care!"”

Breanna N.
“I've known Breanna for many many years, and one thing I can say without hesitation is that she loves big and cares greatly for everyone and everything! She has two dogs of her own, and they are part of her family in a big way. I would confidently leave my dog with Breanna for as long as I needed to. Rest assured, your dog will be loved on and very well taken care of while you are gone!”
Benjamin C.
“Ben is awesome!! He watched my dogs (and cat) for a weekend. Both of my dogs are rescues, and one can be a bit skiddish and scared. Ben was so great with her!!! He has a special gift with doggies and wasn’t intimidated or worried about my dogs. He sent picture updates. I also wrote out specific details for my dogs’ care, and he did awesome with that as well. My dogs have their routine, so it was great having someone watch them and take care of their needs. I’d recommend him.”
