About Bria B.
Communication
Dog skills
Safety, trust & environment
Your companions’ safety and health is of the utmost importance. With dog walking, I will inquire about any preferred walking places/parks, discuss beforehand any recommended locations, and follow the agreed-upon routes. In addition, I will ensure your companion is hydrated, monitor their environment for safety concerns, and properly dispose of waste products. Regarding drop-in visits, I recognize the level of trust it takes to allow a new person into one’s home. Thus, prior to the first visit, I will always ask about comfort level in terms of gaining entry into the home and areas to access or avoid. In addition, I aim to familiarize myself with your companion’s routine, such as learning their feeding times (and making sure their water bowls are always full), preferred playtime activities and toys, and any special needs. I value good communication and frequently provide updates on their well-being and promptly address any concerns/behavioral observations. If a dog is anxious upon first meeting me, I ensure they have time to get to know me instead of jumping right into an activity, which includes being patient and slowly offering my hand for sniffing, speaking in a calm tone of voice, and not forcibly entering their space before they are ready.
Information Bria B. would like to know about your pet
Let me know if your companion has any special needs or behaviors I should be aware of to ensure that the best care is being provided.
A typical day
Just like humans, dogs want and need to be both mentally and physically stimulated. During our walk, we will play games while running around at a preferred park or by the lake and check out some interesting smells and sights. For drop-in visits, I prefer spending the entire time outside to allow for plenty of opportunities to play with preferred toys, burn off some energy, and soak up the nicer weather.

Pet care experience
I love animals, and I have been around and taken care of them since childhood, particularly dogs and cats. After moving to Chicago in 2017, I started walking and occasionally dog sitting for my friends’ companions. However, since living in the Shorewood area, I have worked with a variety of different dog (and cat) breeds and ages, including assisting with puppy training and senior care/mobility. I understand that each animal companion is unique with their own personality and temperament and that should be a major factor in providing appropriate care for them. Therefore, I strive to incorporate this mindset into each care opportunity I receive.
Cat care experience
Bria also cares for cats. Learn about their cat-specific care experience.

Bria is really responsible and takes amazing care of our Frenchie. I can always trust our dog in her care.
Bria is wonderful!
Bria is the sweetest dog lover! She’s so great at communicating so I feel completely at ease leaving my Frenchie with her.
