About: I have been taking care of all sorts of animal companions for 20 years! I worked on a Farmed Animal sanctuary and took care of chickens, goats, turkeys, cows, and pigs. I have had cats and dogs my whole life and specialize in both senior care and puppies. I’m great at training pups and love to be active. If your dog needs a good hike, I’m your guy! I’m currently working the early morning shift and have plenty of time after work to care for your babies. I also have weekends off so go on that day trip you always wanted to and leave it to me. My dogs are my children. I take them hiking, swimming, walking, and/or to the dog park at least once a day. I’m just starting out as a personal trainer so if your dog needs a jog around the block I can do that.
“Lori and her family were a perfect find. They took great care of my Jenny and were very understanding of an unexpected extra day of care due to some travel delays on my end which saved me a lot of stress. Thank you so much!”
“I highly recommend Brianna for any of your pet care needs. I adopted a husky 7 months ago that had separation anxiety. He had grown a lot but I was fearful of leaving him with anyone. We started with a few days of daycare with Brianna and then he stayed with her for 5 nights. Brianna texted me daily and shared updates and pictures. He was so well cared for and so comfortable with her and her doggos that I now consider Brianna's place his second home! Please don't hestitate booking services with her, she is a gem and someone I am truly grateful for.”
