About: I am a licensed veterinary technician with 7 years of professional experience. Working with animals is my passion and I always strive to provide the best care. I have plenty of experience with animals of all ages, shapes, and sizes. I am highly educated in animal medicine so you can feel at ease if your pet has any medical issues/daily medications. Other than animal medicine, I have also had years of experience in boarding care. I am so passionate about what I do and I love working with animals everyday. I understand how hard it is trying to find the best place/person to take care of your baby while you are away and I hope I can assure you they will be safe with me. Your pet(s) will be with a licensed professional with plenty of experience so you can enjoy your time away worry free! While you unwind on vacation, your pup will be spoiled with belly rubs, tail wags, and plenty of treats—it’s a getaway for them too! I am a full-time licensed veterinary technician working with animals 4-5 days out the week at a small animal hospital. I personally like it when my dogs are staying with someone who can be with them most hours of the day, so I chose my off days to do Rover. Fridays-Sundays are the days where your pet(s) will get my undivided attention. I am at my home those days so your pet(s) can be in a cage-free environment. They are welcome to get up on the comfy couch, go play in my fenced backyard, and enjoy a safe, clean environment filled with love. I strive to provide the most reliable, trusting, & professional care. I will definitely be sending you plenty of pictures/videos of your pet(s) stay and will be sure to keep in touch with you throughout each day. I love checking in with my clients and letting them know their baby is in the best hands! Expect your pup to have their own personal vacay. I will provide plenty of play time, unlimited belly rubs, yummy snacks, and lots of comfy places to nap. Your pup will be treated as if they were one of my own! I am fine with working with any additional needs they may have, just let me know.

About: I have had a wide variety of different types of pets throughout my life such as (snakes, hedgehogs, raccoons, pigs, chickens, etc.). Having learned to care for each and every one of them. Has provided me with substantial knowledge in how to deal with pets whether puppies or full grown large dog breeds. In 2024, I rescued my German shepherd. When we got him he was only 4 months old and in critical condition, suffering from starvation and diseases. Throughout my care I have been able to provide my dog a happy and healthy ongoing life. I’m a full-time college student however, I am currently on summer break and am available at your service 24/7 to provide the best pet care possible. I have several acres of land for your pet to play on as well as a pond for your baby to swim in! Along with 1 very friendly dog for your pup to play with.

About: Over the years, I have had many pets of my own, including several dogs, cats, and even a hedgehog! Although I have a family cat that I love dearly, I am unable to have a pet of my own at the moment due to time and financial constraints, but I have been pet sitting for about 4 years to gain experience and love on these sweet babies in the meantime. I learn easily and can therefore learn how to best take care of your pet while you're away to keep them in their routine. I am very passionate about animals and love getting to meet new ones, so book with me today for a sitter who will care for your pets like her own!

I will make sure that your pet gets plenty of play time, attention, and the same amount of love and care that you show them. One of the most rewarding things about pet sitting is seeing animals go from shy and anxious since their owners are away to seeing them blossom and love on me throughout my stay with them. I am very passionate about animals and I want to see them thrive just as much as you do!

I don’t discriminate on dog breed or age. I also works with snakes so I’ve had my fair share of bites, it’s just something that comes with the job.

I crate trained my current foster dog so I can crate your animals if necessary. I also have a back yard so I’m used to letting animals out on a leash.

“Brittany is amazing and so accommodating! She loves our little Dex, and Dex loves all his walks!!”


About: I’ve always had a love for animals since I was a child. I used to bring home strays even though I would get in trouble for it. I’ve babysat dogs for friends and family in the past. I also used to be a dog groomer at Petsmart. One rainy morning on my way to work, I saw a chihuahua mix on the side of the road. I parked my car about 10 feet away from her. She was shaking and had a look of despair. I gently scooped her up and put her in my passenger seat. I noticed her leg was broken so I skipped work and took her to the vet. I took her home with me and cared for her until she healed. Today, she is the happiest and chunkiest chihuahua I’ve ever seen. She’s living her best life with my mom. I’m a mother of 2 but my babies are in daycare during the week. I do not work a full time job, I’m very flexible! For check ins: I will make sure your fur baby is fed. I will, of course, give lots of affection. Take them out on walks and let them explore. Make sure their area is clean and tidy.
