“Brianna was a fantastic walker for our two dogs. She was a great communicator, super reliable, helpful, and so detailed in her walking notes. Our dogs loved her and she was amazing with them. I felt much better leaving my pups at home during the day knowing that Brianna was going to come see and walk them. Highly recommend her!”
About: I am a proud mother of a 4yr old son and an 10 yr old daughter.. My daughter is usually at school for most of the day. However, caring for both full time I have come to notice animals stimulate both kids and teach them respect, responsibility and routine. We are excited to em"bark" on this new chapter in life and cant wait to start. Together, I believe all 3 of my family unit would not only love, but sincerely enjoy even the smallest and largest pets while their 'parents' are away or just need some attention. With summer upon us - my schedule (and helping hands) have become more flexible. Currently, I am available every day from 6am to 7pm. Holidays, weekends, and every day that ends in "Y"! With respect to the pet , clients home, and specific care needs, I try to always keep an open mind and heart but keeping respect in the foreground.
About: I am a very patient caregiver. I’m willing to work with any and all needs of the pets AND owners. I have cats at home, but they are friendly. If your pet isn’t a big fan of other animals, I have enough bedrooms to separate the them I’m currently available Monday through Friday, full time. I have lots of time to give walks, baths, play time, and whatever else that is needed. I have a clean unfenced yard with room roam, and I have a decent sized house with multiple rooms that can be used to accommodate animals over night.
About: I've been caring for others' pets since I was a teenager whenever a friend needed someone to care for their fur babies. I am typically the pet sitter for friends or family who go on vacation without their pups. I always had animals growing up (fish, bunnies, birds, dogs, etc). I was fortunate enough to take classes with a local dog trainer when I first adopted my dogs 6 years ago which has been very helpful in managing behaviors. I am a school employee currently on summer break with no trips planned due to the rise in the cost of living, so my schedule is wide open at the moment until school starts back up on August 17th! During the school year, my schedule is pretty much jam packed with work and caring for my 2 year old in the evening, although I might be able to find some time to do something quick like drop in visits or a 30 min walk a few times per week. Once I've gotten to know a pet and their owner, I may be available to do pet and/or house sitting throughout the school year (I'm more cautious about pet sitting currently due to the age of my child and the presence of other animals in my home, so I would need to make sure it's a good match with my dogs ahead of time if dog sitting is involved). While walking dogs, I always double check that their leashes are secure and harnesses are not too loose. If walking in an area with less traffic or on a narrow path, I instruct the dogs to sit while cars pass by for safety. If a dog acting in an aggressive manner is being walked towards us, or if one is in someone's yard, I always cross the street to avoid a potential issue. If there is a possibility of walking or sitting more than one animal at a time, I make sure to introduce the animals ahead of time and talk to their owners to make sure they're a good match. It is also important to me to make sure any dog I walk has some time to cool off before I offer food or water (i.e., deep chested dogs susceptible to bloat) as well as checking the temperature of the pavement before walking a dog on a hot day. If possible, early morning or early evening walks are preferable in order to keep the dog comfortable. When taking care of my pets or dropping in to check on others', I always give love and attention first before feeding them or taking them on a potty break. I also make sure everything is picked up off the floor and all doors are locked. If dog or house sitting is a possibility, I would need to meet the dog(s) ahead of time to make sure it's a good match, and if possible, take them on a walk or 2 in order to familiarize myself with them before showing up at their house in order to reduce the chances of the dog being frightened. I take the safety of my animals as well as others' very seriously.

Michelle R.
“I’ve known Michelle for years, and her kind and compassionate nature makes her a wonderful caretaker. She’s always been an animal lover, and she’s taken a lot of time, patience, and love in training her own doggo, Zoso. She has years of experience working with her own pets as well as animals on the farm. She’s not intimidated my administering medicine and special care to animals who need it. She’s consistent and detail-oriented, and would make a great sitter to a variety of pets.”

Rachel S.
“Rachel has always been an animal lover, especially dogs. She grew up with a family dog and now has 2 golden retrievers. She and her husband & son love their dogs. They are treated like family members. They are very well behaved and very protective of their baby boy. They go on long walks with their dogs & give lots of playtime both outside and in the house. And the dogs get lots of loving from Rachel and from her family. I believe that Rachel would be an excellent dog walker.”
