Loving Your Dog Like it is My Own !
Briana’s DogVacay – Where Your Pet is Family! At Briana’s DogVacay, I don’t just believe that your pet is family—I treat them like my own! As a lifelong animal lover, certified pet sitter, and experienced trainer, I am committed to providing top-notch, around-the-clock care for your furry friends. With certifications from the National Association of Professional Pet Sitters & GoodPup, you can rest assured that your pet is in expert hands. Whether your pup needs a fun-filled daycare experience, structured playtime, or a cozy place to stay while you’re away, I’ve got them covered! My background in dog training also allows me to reinforce good manners and positive behaviors while your dog is in my care. My fenced-in yard and eight friendly dogs provide a social and engaging environment, but I can also crate or separate dogs as needed. Services & Policies: • Drop-off & Pick-up: Think of it like catching a scheduled flight — you choose your drop-off and pick-up time in advance, and it needs to be set so I can plan my day around it. A $20 fee per 15 minutes applies for late pickups/drop-offs. Please send a quick message when you’re on your way. The last drop-off/pick-up is at 7 PM daily. • Weekend Hours (Sat & Sun): Drop-offs and pick-ups are only available 6–8 AM and 3–7 PM to allow for uninterrupted playtime fun! • Crate Training Required: For safety in a multi-dog household, I only accept dogs that are crate trained. Crates are used during meal times, when I’m away from the house, and when the front door is opening to prevent accidents or escapes. • Cat-Sitting Available: I love cats, too! I offer in-home visits for your feline friend. • Training & Structure: With my training experience, I help reinforce good behavior, socialization, and basic commands while your pup stays with me. • Full-Time Care: This is my full-time job, though I may step out briefly for errands. If your pup has endless energy, needs a little extra structure, or just wants a loving place to stay, Briana’s DogVacay is the perfect home away from home. I can’t wait to meet your furry family member! 📍 Book today and let your pet join the fun!

Ratings and reviews
Briana is amazing! Oscar loves it there and it is so comforting to know he is in the best hands while we are away!
Excellent. Doggy day care. And SavvyJ. Always smiles. When she comes. Home. We will return.
Very professional and thorough.
Briana was great with our dog. We will definitely use her again. We got daily pictures and he looked so happy in every one. It was nice to see he was having his own vacation while we were on ours.
Briana took outstanding. Loving care of SavvyJ in the 4 days of boarding. Did recommend her to someone. So compassionate.
Thank you for watching Luna! Hopefully we’ll be able to return sometime soon

Schedule
Drop-Off & Pick-Up Policies To keep things running smoothly and ensure every dog gets the attention they deserve, I have strict drop-off and pick-up guidelines: • Scheduled Times Only: All drop-off and pick-up times must be scheduled at the time of booking. Think of it like catching a flight — your time is set in advance, and arriving within a few minutes of that time keeps the day on track. I plan my entire schedule around these times so I can meet the needs of every dog in my care. • Late Fees: A $20 fee applies for every 15 minutes past your scheduled time. (For example, 1–15 minutes late = $20, 16–30 minutes late = $40, and so on.) This is billed via a custom quote to cover the extra care time. • Latest Drop-Off/Pick-Up – 7:00 PM: No drop-offs or pick-ups are accepted after 7:00 PM — no exceptions. Just like a hotel’s final check-in, this policy is firm to ensure all dogs can settle for the night without disruption. • Weekend Hours (Sat & Sun): Drop-offs and pick-ups are only available between 6–8 AM and 3–7 PM to allow for uninterrupted playtime and routine. • On-the-Way Courtesy Message: Please send a quick message when you’re on your way so I can have your dog ready for a smooth hand-off. These rules are in place because I’ve learned from experience — unexpected changes affect not only my schedule but also the comfort and safety of the dogs here. I appreciate your cooperation in respecting them.
Where your pet will stay
Home characteristics
Safety, trust & environment
My fenced-in yard, seven friendly Siberian Huskies, and one German Shepherd provide a social, enriching environment for dogs who enjoy group play. For safety and structure, I require all dogs to be crate trained or actively in the process of crate training. Crates are used for rest time, meal time, and whenever I need to step out or manage the group dynamic. My Huskies and Shepherd have been raised and trained by me to act as my “employees” — helping to model appropriate play, redirect unwanted behaviors, and maintain a calm, balanced group environment. They’re an extra set of eyes and paws that help keep the pack in check. Safety and structure always come first. Dogs are rotated in small playgroups based on energy level and play style to ensure everyone is comfortable and safe. I supervise all play directly, maintain a no-toy policy during group play to prevent resource guarding, and schedule regular rest breaks throughout the day so dogs don’t become overstimulated. Every dog in my care is treated like family — with personalized attention, clear boundaries, and plenty of love. My goal is always to send home a happy, well-exercised, and relaxed dog at the end of their stay.
Pets
A typical day
Every day here is structured, safe, and personalized. Dogs spend most of their day in my fully fenced-in backyard getting fresh air, exercise, and socialization under my direct supervision. I don’t allow toys during group play to prevent any resource guarding or conflicts — instead, I engage the dogs with basic training games, recall practice, and enrichment activities that are fun, structured, and safe. There are scheduled rest breaks throughout the day where all dogs relax and recharge — this keeps everyone from becoming overstimulated and allows for crate time or quiet time as needed. Every dog in my care is treated like my own — with plenty of attention, structure, and a focus on safety. My goal is always to send home a happy, tired, and well-cared-for dog at the end of the day.
