Pet care experience

Former nanny & animal foster mom!

I LOVE all animals like they’re my babies💜. I am I. The Garden District and have a safe fenced back yard. I am a corcheter, so I will be cuddling and crocheting. It’s a passion of mine to be around your pets. As the the oldest of 5 much younger siblings and a former professional nanny, I am a natural caregiver! Now, I am an independent hairstylist that works for myself, and as an animal lover, I have naturally become many of my clients trusted go-to pet sitter, especially for in house vacation pet sitting. I am highly trained as a former animal foster (including the bottle babies that require so much attention and responsibility) and as a professional care giver. I also grew up with non-traditional critters including, but not limited to, hedgehogs, salamanders, iguanas, guinea pigs, gerbils, etc. so I’m cool with whatever you throw at me and very responsible! I follow YOUR rules and keep your babies safe and loved.

Braelynn was an excellent pet/housesitter! The boys loved her right away. And she was flexible when we had some flight delays, which was very much appreciated

Braelynn was absolutely wonderful! She sent us photos of our pets throughout our entire trip and kept us updated whenever there were any changes. We came home to happy, well-cared-for pets and a clean house. We’re so grateful to her for taking such great care of our babies while we were away. We would absolutely book with her again! 🥰🐾

I work for myself part time as a hairstylist. I make my own hours so it is very easy to not schedule on the days I am needed or to schedule large breaks in between.

Safety, trust & environment

As a former nanny and elder millennial (lol) I am very responsible first! I always double check leashes, harnesses, doors, etc so you can leave your home feeling great with your guys in my hands. At my clients home, I very much like to follow their rules and instructions to the detail. I keep a photo and/or list of all instructions on my phone and a physical copy in my car. At my own home, I like to listen to what my clients feel comfortable with and follow that as discussed with them. I do like their pets to feel like I’m their loving grandma- they always get extra love and long walks when I come to see them!

Pets

A typical day

I love to spread kindness and joy! I’m a very active person and can walk or hike for hours if that is something your guys love. I also can accomade lower energy dogs that may need to be carried home from down the block lol. I really enjoy stick toys with cats as they have SO much fun with them. With dogs, I enjoy short training sessions with commands and training treats or good ole back scratches as rewards. I prefer to stay active if your pets are up for it. I also love to read or crochet for hours while cuddling on the couch.

I like to have detailed instructions. I want your pets to have their schedule stuck to as much as possible. I enjoy information, so the more the better. I also like to do research on the breeds I am looking after so I know about them as well.
