WFH - One Family At A Time
Pet care experience
My dad built a little petting zoo for me to grow up on since I was 8 years old and ever since, I've been obsessed with animals. I've been taking care of animals my entire life in my personal life and have started building a professional reputation here on Rover with real clients like yourself since January 2022. Animals are my passion and I take taking-care of them very seriously, as you’ll come to realize during our Meet & Greet! Colby is almost as big of an animal lover as me. While he isn’t the main point of contact, he does a lot of hands on play behind the scenes and probably cuddles with the animals almost more than I do! We both make a great husband and wife team when it comes to animals. 😊
Reviews
BreAnna and Colby were amazing with our pup. They had him for 8 nights and loved him and cared so wonderfully for him. We will absolutely use them again and will recommend them to anyone and everyone.
Very caring and attentive couple. Our fur baby was well attended to, and I felt very informed. I also appreciated the thorough meet and greet to ensure we would have a good match of the animals.
BreAnna and Colby are fantastic people and animal lovers. The took such great care of our girls. The updates make us feel so comfortable with them. Thank you!
BreAnna was so amazing with providing feedback and pictures of our girls during her visits!! She was also very prepared with questions when we did our meet and greet so knew they would be in great hands!! Thanks BreAnna!!

Skills
Safety, trust & environment
We live in a spacious home with plenty of room and have a 5' tall fenced-in back yard. We never crate a dog that isn’t already crate trained. If a dog is crate trained, we only crate them when we leave the home for errands, which is only about once or twice a week.
Home
Information BreAnna & Colby C. would like to know about your pet
Does your pet have any medication that they need to take? How are they with other animals? Do they have any food allergies or allergies in general? Do they have any behavior issues that we need to know about ahead of time? How are they on walks? Do they have a bite history? How long can your pet be left alone?
A typical day
We love to play tug of war and fetch with any dogs that we watch. We also enjoy doing walks to get our exercise in, as well as theirs! Our neighborhood is safe and even has a secluded park within walking distance that we like to go to from time to time. We don’t provide walks during winter, so if this is something that your dog needs daily during the wintertime, we would not be a good fit. In addition, we have lots of mental enrichment toys like licky mats, kongs, puzzles, etc. For cats, we have tons of toys, but our personal favorites are ones that we can twirl and it makes our day to watch the cats go crazy for it! We also have a couple scratching posts/cat trees and can even trim your cat’s nails if needed. We absolutely adore snuggles while we’re working on our computers or watching TV. All furniture is okay for your pet to go up on (unless you specifically request for your pet to not be allowed on furniture). All pets will be able to sleep with us (but if you request, we have enough room in the home to have them separated at night).

Availability
Working from home gives us the ability to have at least one of us almost always be home, meaning you won’t need to worry about your pets being alone often. We only accept one family at a time for boardings and daycare, which makes the home less crowded for your pets and gives them more undivided attention. We have two dogs who love to play and are used to other pets, including small animals like cats. We’re extremely communicative. You’ll receive one big detailed update every single day with pictures and videos taken throughout that day, or, if you prefer, 3-4 small updates. The once a day, detailed update, is sent around 6-8 PM CST. The 3-4 small updates are sent random throughout the day. Due to having our own cats and one of our dogs being a chihuahua, we are not a good fit for dogs who have never been around a cat before or have a high prey drive with small animals. On top of the normal dog boarding, we can also host cat boardings. We have a process for cat boarders that we’d be happy to explain beforehand to ensure that they get slowly introduced to the new environment. If your cat(s) aren’t comfortable around other animals, we have plenty of room in our house to where your cat(s) will never be around around our pets. Otherwise, if you’re comfortable with the idea and your boarding is long enough, we go through a slow process to acclimate your cat(s) to our home and animals to where they’ll eventually be able to roam the entire home, like our own pets.
