“I needed a last minute sitter for a few hours and was coming from out of town. Bri was fantastic! She was very prompt in responding to my initial outreach (late evening the night before) and was very easy to work with. She took care of Miley and shared unprompted updates of Miley and her dog Piggy playing - which was very much appreciated! I would recommend working with Bri!”

About: Hi, I’m Jai! I’m a passionate animal lover, certified dog groomer, and dedicated pet caregiver who believes every dog deserves to feel safe, comfortable, and loved — even when they’re away from their family. 🐶✨ My journey with animals began through my 4 years in FFA (Future Farmers of America), where I gained hands-on experience with animal care, responsibility, and proper handling. I also have experience working on a farm, which helped me develop a strong understanding of animal behavior, patience, safety, and the importance of providing consistent care. Throughout high school, I completed 4 years of agriculture classes, including animal science and anatomy studies, which helped me better understand animal health, body structure, and overall well-being. Along with my dog grooming certification, I have built a strong foundation in caring for dogs and understanding their individual needs. I am also continuing my education with the goal of opening my own affordable, high-quality dog care facility, where every pet can receive loving, dependable care without families having to worry about the cost. My passion is creating a place where dogs feel at home and owners feel confident knowing their pets are in caring hands. I understand that every dog is unique. Whether your pup is a playful adventurer, a shy sweetheart, a senior needing extra patience, or a cuddle-loving companion, I take the time to learn their personality and make sure they feel comfortable. When your dog is in my care, you can expect: 🐾 Safe, reliable, and personalized attention 🐾 Plenty of playtime, enrichment, and affection 🐾 Walks and activities based on your dog’s energy level 🐾 Grooming knowledge and attention to their comfort 🐾 Regular updates and photos so you can stay connected 🐾 A patient, caring, and responsible environment Caring for animals isn’t just something I do — it’s something I’m passionate about and continue to build my future around. I would love the opportunity to meet your furry family member and provide them with the same love, patience, and care I would want for my own. 🐕💛 Pet care fits naturally into my daily routine as a stay-at-home mom because I’m already dedicated to creating a structured, safe, and loving environment. My days are built around routines, responsibility, and making sure everyone’s needs are met — including my furry guests. Being a stay-at-home mom gives me the flexibility to provide consistent care throughout the day, including walks, playtime, feeding schedules, bathroom breaks, enrichment, and plenty of attention. I enjoy spending time with animals and making sure each pet feels comfortable, happy, and loved while they’re in my care. One of the things that makes my home special is my 4 acres of outdoor space where dogs can enjoy supervised playtime, exercise, and exploring. My property includes a walking trail, a river area, and an invisible fence system that helps provide an added layer of security while they enjoy the outdoors. Safety is always my top priority, and I make sure every pup is comfortable and cared for during outdoor activities. I love creating a home-away-from-home experience where dogs can relax, have fun, and receive personalized attention. Between my animal care background, grooming experience, and love for dogs, I’m committed to giving each pet the patience, care, and affection they deserve. I want owners to feel confident knowing their furry family members are in a safe, loving, and attentive environment. 🐾 When caring for pets in my home, I focus on creating a safe, comfortable, and loving environment where every dog feels like part of the family.

My daily routine allows me to give dogs plenty of attention, including regular potty breaks, meals on schedule, playtime, exercise, enrichment activities, and lots of affection. I have 4 acres of outdoor space where dogs can enjoy supervised adventures, including a trail for walks, open areas to play, and access to nature while being protected by an invisible fence system for added security.

My background as a certified dog groomer, along with my experience through FFA, agriculture classes, and working on a farm, has helped me understand animal behavior, safe handling, and the importance of patience and proper care. My goal is to provide a home-away-from-home experience where pets feel happy, relaxed, and loved while their owners have peace of mind knowing they are receiving dependable, attentive care. 🐾If a pet is crate-trained or an owner requests it, I can comfortably use crates for rest periods, meals, or bedtime to help maintain their normal routine. Throughout the day, pets receive plenty of attention, playtime, exercise, and affection, and I work to keep their schedules as consistent as possible so they feel comfortable and at ease while away from home.

About: Taken care of my own dog Ripley since we got her in 2015, happily walked and sat for family friends with small to large dogs ever since! I’m a full time college student but I’m committed to pet care whenever I’m not in class! During breaks Im available 24/7 and more than happy to walk or dogsit! I have one very friendly mid-sized lab that would be more than happy to have company! I don’t have a fenced in yard but I take them out on the leash as needed and walk once a day!

About: Pet Care Experience I’ve had the joy of caring for dogs of all ages, from playful puppies to sweet seniors who need a little extra love and patience. I’ve helped with walks, feeding, giving meds, and of course plenty of belly rubs and cuddle time. I treat every dog like they’re my own, making sure they feel safe, happy, and loved while you’re away. What Sets Me Apart I really take the time to get to know each dog’s personality and quirks. Whether it’s helping a puppy learn good habits, supporting an older dog who moves at a slower pace, or sticking to a routine to keep your pup comfortable, I always adjust to what your dog needs. I also pay close attention to little details—like favorite toys, treats, or special instructions—so you can feel at ease knowing your best friend is in caring hands. Since I work from home, I have plenty of flexibility to give your dog the attention they deserve throughout the day. I can easily step away for walks, playtime, or check-ins, and I love having the company of dogs while I work. Whether it’s sticking to a set feeding and potty schedule or adding in some extra cuddle breaks, I’m able to keep your pup’s routine consistent and stress-free. Your dog’s safety and comfort are always my top priorities. In my care, I make sure they’re in a secure and pet-friendly environment—free of hazards, with plenty of space to relax and play. I always follow your instructions closely, whether it’s diet, medication, or special routines, so your pup feels right at home. When caring for dogs in a client’s home, I treat the space with the same respect as I would my own. I keep doors locked, routines consistent, and make sure your dog feels safe and loved until you return. Building trust is important to me, so I provide updates, photos, and quick check-ins to give you peace of mind while you’re away.
