Pet care experience
Compassionate care, medical exp. 💉
⭐️ Welcome pet parents! This is my full-time job, please read my profile before reaching out with a request ⭐️ No longer accepting RECURRING weekly walk/drop-in clients! First and foremost, obviously, I love dogs (except I can't let my darling cat, Miss Cleopatra, know that of course...). Cats occupy a very special place in my heart as well, and, while I’ve never owned any other type of animal, I don’t discriminate against small animals, reptiles, birds, or fish either! I am so thrilled to have the means to run what initially began as a passion project/side hobby as a full-time business! I am fully prepared to extend all my love and care to your beloved pets whenever you may need it and have the seasoned experience to troubleshoot nearly any animal-related situation whether it’s something minor like your pet missing you, being wary of newcomers, or even something much larger like a medical emergency. Additionally, I have deep experience with administering animal medications (oral as well as injectable) and closely monitoring any warning signs/symptoms of disease. I'm ready to cuddle, talk to, AND run laps with your furry friends and I can promise you they‘ll be treated as if they are my own. I’ve been doing pet care for over 8 years professionally in multiple cities and can genuinely say I enjoy heading out to work every day, which shows in my attention to detail and strong work ethic. I love all animals equally, but I specialize in providing above-and-beyond care and compassion to senior dogs and cats as well as particularly shy dogs and cats. I am not afraid of looking silly if it means putting a client’s pet at ease…in fact that’s probably how I came to be called Dr. Doolittle in my own family, haha! No request is out of the question if it guarantees your pet’s happiness while in my care. I can absolutely assure you I’ve seen it all over my several years in this business! While this may be a fun job, it is still a JOB and I do treat it as such. I strive to be professional, reliable, and communicative through all bookings no matter how short or long the stay.

Safety, trust & environment
Safety is of the utmost importance to me, and that works both ways— your pet’s safety as well as my own physical safety. I truly strive for your pet to never experience any loneliness or separation anxiety which is why I do try my best to minimize time spent away from them during a house sitting and do not book multiple overnight clients at one time. During drop-in visits and walks, I am always right there supervising (even if you have a fenced backyard for dogs!) to ensure all animals are accounted for and safe. I pride myself on being very observant at any booking I do and I’m especially watchful of any pets that are on medications, young puppies, or seniors.
Ratings and reviews
Another great set of visits from Bri! Bri is very reliable and great with my cats. Thanks Bri!
This is the second time we have booked Bri to stay at our house, over night for 5 days,with our pups. She is so attentive, caring and kind. It is always clear, from day one, that both dogs are happy and comfortable with Bri. 100/10 stars. We will definitely book with Bri in the future, as long as she she is available. I cannot speak of her more highly. THANK YOU BRI!! <3 -- Brandice, Duncan, Kenzie & Willow.
Bri was fabulous as always - on time and consistent, patient with our cats, and always did a fabulous write up and photos. She is great and I feel so comfortable knowing she’s looking after our cats.
Bri took excellent care of my pets which was a huge relief in a new area! Bri is very communicative and left a detailed card with a variety of pictures which let me know my pets felt comfortable in their routine with Bri and were well cared for. Will absolutely book Bri again!
Simon took to Bri amazingly for their first time, he’s a very shy cat with new people and I can tell he felt comfortable, relaxed and happy with her visits. Everything went smoothly and will be rebooking
THANK YOU!!

Schedule
DROP-INS/DOG WALKS: I take drop-in and dog walking clients from 7 am to 10 pm and my daily schedule for that varies. Sometimes I have super packed days (my full capacity right now is about 13-15 visits in a day), other times I have more flexible, open availability. For medication administrations I, of course, adhere to the specific time or timeframe given to me but for other visits that aren’t so time sensitive, due to the nature of my schedule often being a full work day of clients wanting similar times, I will often offer a wider timeframe that I may arrive in based on whatever makes most sense driving-wise on that given day while also keeping everyone’s original time preferences in mind. HOUSE SITTING: I generally leave any overnight house sittings a few times a day to feed my own cat and attend to other walk/drop-in clients. Typically this looks something like: 8:30-11:30 out of the house, afternoon hanging out in the house or out for shorter periods, 6-8:30/9 out of the house. I try to guarantee at least 10-12 hours overnight in addition to adhering as closely as possible to your pet’s regular feeding/walk schedule. I’m rarely away for more than 3-4 hours at a time but would explicitly discuss that with you beforehand if that were going to be the case. During a house sitting I treat your home as my new home base and I am there in any remaining free time I may have for the duration of the booking. I do try to schedule my additional drop-ins and walks lighter on days that I house sit although this is not always possible in busier seasons. Though I do spend a lot of time at any house sitting I do, it is important to note that I am not able to take on constant care house sitting bookings (where the animals *cannot* be left for those 3-4 hour chunks) at this time due to the constantly fluctuating, full-time nature of my day-to-day schedule.

- I have no breed preferences, and I'm not one to generalize dogs by their breed (i.e.: pit bulls are always mean, etc.) though breed characteristics CAN inform us of certain genetic predispositions. I will accept younger dogs but I do ask that they are already somewhat house-trained, or crate-trained if still working on potty training, before I care for them as I do not consider myself much of a professional dog trainer (and I don’t believe in harsh discipline of animals so this ensures comfort and safety for all involved). It’s very important that you let me know how they react to other dogs and people if I will be walking them at any point. I’d also like to know if your pet has any food allergies or is currently taking any medications. I unfortunately cannot and will not accept dogs that show any type of aggression or have significant behavioral problems.
