Availability
So I’m working part time at a pet store currently and am looking to get back into my services slowly but surely (you can read past reviews!) I don’t have set days where I’m scheduled to work, so whenever I can squeeze in some time with other pups I’d love the chance to! I genuinely miss the work I do and with being semi-disabled, I want to be able to make this my full time job again in the future.

Safety, trust & environment
If I ever get back into pet sitting in my own home, it is very much gated all the way around. I would be keeping my eyes on the pups 24/7 and not leaving them alone so there would be no chance for them to get into some trouble. The fences are only about 4 feet tall so if I do watch larger dogs that are known for trying to get out, they will stay leashed at all times but still have freedom (I would have a long lead for them.) I would mostly be one on one with a dog if I am watching them in my home and not take on multiple dogs at once (at this moment.) If I am caring for a fur baby in a pet parents home, I would make sure I do everything by their instructions and under the schedule they have provided. I would let them know ahead of time if it doesn’t align with my schedule! I am a helicopter dog mom and have a camera for my pup, so if a pet parent has anything similar in their home it would not be an issue for me! Safety is always important and if that helps them keep their peace of mind that is fine!
Information Briana V. would like to know about your pet
Your dog must be friendly with people and other dogs. If not, let me know and we can hopefully arrange (only for smaller dogs) I can’t care for bigger dogs if they are not socialized and aggressive towards other animals and people. Also let me know if your dog has any special needs I need to know about or needs to take medication.
A typical day
A typical day in my own home with my pups is very based around my schedule and their needs. Having one younger pup and one senior dog, they both have different requirements so I am used to this. With other pups we would be discovering new areas, play fetch if that’s what they prefer, chase in an enclosed area, tug, or even play with my own pups if they live close enough and if pet parents agree! I also have a doggy pool at my own home for the dogs who love the water!

Pet care experience
Whenever someone needs their pets to be taken care of, I’m always the one they turn to first because they know I love animals and am very responsible as I have been caring for animals since I was 7. I’ve always loved dogs especially but where I lived at the time, since they didn’t allow them I cared for smaller pets such as rodents and they were able to live out to their expected lifespans. I’m not afraid of unusual pets or even aggressive animals, I always try to make them feel safe and befriend them as time goes on. I always believe in giving animals chances. I got a dog from someone who couldn’t care for him anymore and he’s been thriving with me. Learning how to use the bathroom outside and catching on to new tricks very easily. I try working with him everyday when it comes to his tricks but if not, we just spend time together, play, and go on walks. I’m really into training animals and I find it very rewarding. I also do grooming on my own animals that I currently have and past animals, I bathe them, cut their nails, and even cut their hair. I’m experienced in understanding dog body language and knowing when something is uncomfortable. I’m also knowledgeable in taking care of senior dogs and different methods of giving medication even to the sternest dogs!

Reviews

Briana went above and beyond and worked on training my dog during his walks. I saw a lot of improvement with my dog in a short amount of time thanks to Briana!

Briana did a great job walking my puppy. She sent me detailed notes with many pictures. She even worked on training my dog. I definitely recommend her

Briana is the best!!!
Briana was very incredible with Nova. He’s gone through a big transition here lately with us moving to the city and all my travel. She was very patient with him as he had a difficult time getting settled. She catered the environment to him to make sure he was happy and comfortable. Amazing communication as well!
