Pet care experience
I’ve had pets my entire life and for the past three years i decided to start caring for others . I recently worked at a doggy hotel but decided to take a different route and go to school to be a veterinarian . I have experience caring for dogs with special needs, and of all different sizes and breeds. As of November 20th all pups & cats with be sent home with a doggy bag that includes a toy & a couple treats & also doggy potty bags . If you don’t want a doggy bag please let me know. I’m not currently working due to me doing online classes , so my full time job would be caring for your pet! That means I’m available for any last minute things you run into ! :) I have a fenced yard your pet will never be in the backyard with out supervision , I also have a dog park about a 5 mins drive from me but we will walk for them to explore on the way ! COVID PROTOCOL I have a doggy bed that will be clean sanitized after every visit . If you want to bring your own that will be fine :) IF YOUR FUR BABY HAS SEPARATION ANXIETY PLEASE LET ME KNOW AS THIS IS A KEY TO HAVE A GREAT STAY IF YOUR DOG IS DESTRUCTIVE YOU WILL BE CHARGED FOR ANYTHING THEY BREAK (toys are okay ) DOGS WHO EXCESSIVE BARK OR HOWL WILL NOT BE BOARED IF YOUR DOGS IS NOT FULLY POTTY TRAINED PLEASE LET ME KNOW

Briana’s idea of a walk is stepping to their sidewalk and then bringing the dog in. I asked them to take my active dog for 3 walks during the day. They said they walked him from 9-10 and then at 2. My dog’s tracker showed Ghost got roughly 1,500 steps total within the 9 hours he was under Briana’s care. The minimum number of steps for my dog is 14k per day. Suffice to say, I would not use this sitter again.
Best pup sitter ever!
In the middle of the night, just before Christmas, I learned that my grandfather suffered a cardiac event in Southern California and needed to have emergency surgery, I have two dogs that are very difficult to deal with and my grandmother, who lives with me as well. I am new to the SF Bay Area and did not know who to call, until a friend recommended Briana, from her dogs past stays. I contacted Briana in the middle of the night and she called me back right away, I explained that I not only needed my two dogs to be cared for, but that they were bonded and they didn't always listen or behave. Briana offered to meet us at our house and my grandmother and dogs took an instant liking to her. My grandmother made Briana cookies and the dogs became instant GREAT FRIENDS with her, which I have never seen before. It was raining outside and the winds continued to pick up. Briana was not only able to take my dogs, she also helped me with transportation to the airport and sorting out my tickets while I packed. While I made other arrangements for my grandmother to be tended to, Briana actually took the time and care to check in on her. Briana made sure I was continually updated I genuinely felt that she was now a part of our family. She sent pictures and we participated in zoom calls. My dogs seemed happy and well cared for, perhaps spoiled too much! Briana took them to the park, the beach and threw the balls and frisbees for them. My return date got changed many times and that was no problem for her, as my grandfather got transferred to a medical facility. While I got to know Briana, we exchanged ideas about my dog's care and she is very knowledgeable and caring as well as educated about animals and dogs in general. Briana is able to calmly communicate with my dogs to get them to behave their best! When I went to pick my dogs up, they seemed like they wanted to stay with her more. My oldest and grumpiest dog whined so that he could get another walk in with Briana. At the height of distress in my life, I was able to relax a bit and it helped and was comforting to not have to worry about my dogs. Briana is a genuine blessing for my dogs, grandma and myself and she appeared like an angel, in the middle of the night, to help my family at the time of greatest need. I cannot say enough great things about her and her care for my dogs and family. I am forever indebted and my grandma wishes she would come over again one day for freshly baked cookies and milk.
I had a feeling at the start of Jackson’s stay that I should have canceled his stay. The night before his stay, I got a text asking if I could drop him off a few hours before our scheduled drop off bc she needed to run errands. I had questions like, “how long will you be gone”, etc. She said she had to pick up her car and would be gone a few hours. I felt weird about it but was in a rock and a hard place bc I was leaving on a business trip. I figured as long as it was quick, he would be ok. After I dropped him off, ZERO communication. I texted her and asked for a pic and update. I got a pic and ‘he’s doing great, he’s so loving.” I just had a pit in my stomach that something was off. I picked him up and i knew something was not right. My normally very calm dog ran, howling towards me. He was a little frantic and seemed on edge. The whole way home he howled, which he had never done. It was weird. We all know our dogs and Jackson will shed more when he’s stressed out. When I picked him up, he had more shedded hair on the top of his coat then usual. I don’t know what made him seem off or howl on the way home. He settled down a few hours after being home. His things (bag, blanket, bed) all smelled like Seisher Sweets. Needless to say I was really disappointed and felt like a terrible dog mom for not listening to my intuition. I have no doubt that some dogs had a great experience w her but unfortunately this stay has made me question Rover as a whole.

Dogs come first in my house. I’m always excited to take my dogs on a hike, walk or puppy play date. I’m able to give your dog all the attention needed, and they would never be unattended. Feel free to bring their favourite toys or let them choose from my selection.
