Pet care experience

Hello. I'm Bria and my main goal is to make you feel as though you never even left your baby at home. I have 6 pets and I know how it feels when you have to leave them and it sucks. But I promise to make it an amazing experience. A little info on me, I am currently certified in CPR & First Aid, pet nutrition and veterinary assistance. I am currently working at VCA animal hospital in Washington DC. I am also in school working towards my degree in Vet Tech. I absolutely love animals and have wanted to work with them since the age of 6 years. I would work with animals for free every day of my life if I could because it's my passion and nothing else would fulfill my life other than helping and advocating for animals . It's honestly the only way of life . Animals can't speak so that's why people like me exist . I also offer other services such as bathing, nail trims, ear cleanings, anal gland expressions, and distributing ear, eye or medications given by mouth if needed. I can also give SQ fluids if needed. I'm super flexible and I am here to lessen the load. With me you wont have to worry about your pets because they will be in good safe hands. I am also capable of training dogs on basic commands. I work long hours at a animal hospital but I am able to check in on pets on my breaks and I can also bring pets to work with me if needed, I bring my dog with me to work all the time and she really enjoys it. If you are interested in any of my other services ( grooming/ distribution of meds) Please contact me for more information. I am open to schedule an initial meet-and-greet when taking on any new clients if it would make owners more comfortable with me being alone with their pet. I have tons and tons of experience with all types of pets with all types, including exotics and I’m equipped to work with pets of all temperaments. I have a few different techniques when it comes to meeting new pets, especially if they are more on the timid end. I also am open to meet and greets because owners may want to feel me out more before agreeing to anything which is totally understandable. I’m pretty flexible and open. I also drive so transportation won’t be any issue. I’m an open book willing to answer any questions you guys have. I’m all about building long lasting relationships and long term clients so no question goes unanswered. I’m here to help, and I’m here to take off some of the load . I’m very excited to meet you and you nugget very soon. If you have any questions for me feel free to ask.

Bria took care of my two large dogs and home for a full week. She maintained communication, asked smart questions, sent daily updates and pictures. The dogs were well taken care of and happy, not stressed, when I returned home. My home was in the same clean condition when I arrived home as when I left. I’m glad I found our new pet/house sitter and have already rebooked for this summer. I definitely recommend Bria if you want peace of mind and happy pets!

Bria gave our senior dog Chesley her subcutaneous fluids while we were out of town so that we didn't have to worry about having an inexperienced sitter try to handle medical matters. Really appreciate her expertise and training.

A typical day

I enjoy going on long walks as well as going to dog parks, rides in the car, going for ice cream or Starbucks for a quick puppicino treat (with owners permission) I also am able to bring pets with me to work considering I work 6-10 hour long shifts at a animal hospital. At my hospital we believe in happy visits where we feed the pet treats and just love on them because we are a fear free hospital. I enjoy bringing pets with me so they can play with the doctor's pets. I also enjoy basic training if owners are interested as well as taking the nuggets out to pets mart for a toy or a pig ear.
