Pet care experience

I have had numerous pets throughout my life and cared for many more of my friends, family and neighbors. I provide unlimited attention to your pet making sure to reinforce your vocabulary and training and follow any feeding/crate schedule you have in place. I enjoy teaching pets new tricks and enriching their play time with some tried and true playtime games. My favorite is the sit and stay and watch me take a small toy and hide it but not knowing where I left it then saying ok find it and they get to check all the places they think it is and I remind them to use their nose and when they find it I yell Good Job (Name)! and Clap and give pets. Every dog Ive ever watched loves to learn this game. Sometimes I get Zoomies after they are praised for finding it lol. I love to send pics to pet owners who want them everyday or every time I see them do something funny or just look cute. I have a large Yard on a lake and like to take pups on leashed Adventure walks to explore. Your pet will always have my constant attention, every potty break will be accompanied. If I need to run an errand I will take them with, with your permission of course or just take them for a car ride and trip to Starbucks for a puppy treat. I don't have any kids or any pets, but I love caring for all sizes and types of pets. My favorite has always been dogs. I personally grew up with two labs and a cat that I cared for. I helped raise from a baby pup a little teddy bear dog who went to work with me everyday. I have cared for many different sizes and types of dogs, none scare me. Male 150lb Rottweiler, Male 150lb Akita, Female Pit-bull. Female German Shepard, Shih tzu, Teddy Bear Mix, Mini Labradoodle pup, and many more. Each get different types of care based on the owners requests and my observations. All get unlimited amounts of snuggles and massages. I enjoying giving them a bath before going home and nightly brushes. If they need some trimming around eyes or sanitary areas I will do that also as long as that is ok with you. I love learning about each pet and discovering their unique personalities, tailoring their care to fit their need for exercise, constant love and affection, or if they like to be distant and do their own thing I just make sure to stay in the same room. I am used to being followed around everywhere I go, including the bathroom lol. I can guarantee your pet will have my undivided attention with unlimited playtime and cuddles. I am comfortable with any pet that needs to be touching me in some way 24/7, I actually enjoy that. Separation Anxiety won't happen while I have your pet because I will always be with them while I am in charge of their care. I can train them specific things or work on reinforcing your own teachings as well. I love all dogs, Male or Female and all sizes and ages. Pets are allowed on all furniture and allowed to sleep with me in bed as well. I do have a crate if that's what you prefer.

We couldn't be more thrilled with the exceptional care our 4-month-old Shih Tzu, Buca, received from Brianna during our recent vacation. From the moment we dropped Buca off, we knew she was in good hands. Brianna went above and beyond, treating Buca as if she were her own furry family member. The daily updates, complete with adorable pictures and videos, reassured us that Buca was not only safe but also having a blast. Brianna took the time to brush Buca daily, bought her toys, and even taught her a new trick! It was evident that Buca was showered with love and attention throughout her stay. We were pleasantly surprised when Brianna gifted us with a harness and leash for Buca to keep, showcasing her thoughtfulness and generosity. We are elated with the level of care Buca received and eagerly anticipate using Brianna for all our future vacations. Thank you for providing such a loving and nurturing environment for Buca!

Brianna was amazing! I booked my 2 labs with her for a week after they both fell sick and couldn’t go to my normal Boarding facility. I needed someone that would not take other dogs at the same time and Brianna fit the bill. She gave 100% attention to my boys. They had a blast with her and would definitely book her again. She has great attention to detail and really listens and adjusts to pets needs. She even bought my boys toys! I was very nervous leaving my boys with someone new but I know they felt well loved and had a great time. Highly recommend.

Brianna took amazing care of my 3 kitties. They absolutely loved her. Her communication was excellent and my cats barely noticed I was even gone. She did the cutest arts and crafts projects with them, brushed them, took out the trash and left my place spotless (other than the amazing arts and crafts I came home to.) All of my instructions were followed perfectly, she never left any trash behind, and brought so many treats and toys for the kitties! She came to meet the kitties ahead of time and bonded with them so fast. I would trust Brianna with my cats in a heartbeat and I don’t even trust my parents with them.

In my home pets have free roaming and are allowed on furniture, unless you have them trained not to be then I will follow any rules you have. I can crate them at scheduled times or at night if that is what you desire. Otherwise I enjoy having pets anywhere in my bed. I have a queen size bed and sleep alone. I don't have any other pets, nor do my immediate neighbors. Your pet will never be alone outside and will always be leashed or on a long tie out, but I will always be with them. If you think they will listen and not need to be on leash then they can run the whole yard, but walks and exploratory adventures will always be leashed. I like to take dogs out on the lake when the ice fisherman are out cause they all get a huge kick out of that experience. In the summer I can get them comfortable with water and swimming, going out on the paddleboard with me or just chilling at the beach whatever their outdoor soul desires. I can accommodate anything your pet needs just ask and I will let you know what it is.

How they do on walks when another dog is also out being walked. What their typical day is like when you are home with them. What’s their favorite type of play? What is their potty process or routine?

A typical day

I live on a lake and love to take the dogs out to explore all the smells from wildlife. Plus I have lots of windows and perches for dogs to stare out the window and lay in sun. When it’s nice out I enjoy being outside with them and creating little doggy forts and creating unique play games based on each dogs individual play style. Hide and seek of a toy is always a big hit. Plus I like to see how trainable they are to teach them tricks or work on basic commands. For dogs that aren’t usually active I’ll adjust accordingly for walks and play. Plus I’m probably the only person who can unconsciously pet a dog who snuggles for a whole movie lol I also love to talk to dogs, I find that especially helpful for baths and blow drying and minor grooming like cleaning paws and eyes.

While I am in care of your pet, I will be 100% devoted to your pet giving them all the exercise, playtime, and cuddles they desire. They will have my undivided constant attention and never be left alone. I am available to board at my house or yours any days and nights, I am available for a week, weeks or a month. I can also house sit and get mail, water plants, and do other house care duties while you are gone as well. I can take your pet for scheduled visits while in my care like to the groomer or Vet. If your pet had a surgery or injury and you would like them to have round the clock attention while you are at work I would love to help nurse them back to health giving them any medications and applying any topicals needed to help speed recovery.
