Personalized Care for your Pets

Pet care experience

When I have needed a pet sitter because I was traveling for work, I relied on Rover. I found a great fit and always felt confident the animals were happy as can be. Now that my schedule allows for it, I'm excited to be that perfect fit for another person. I know how much we love our pets and what a relief it is to know that they're safe and happy while we're gone. It’s great to take care of pups in need of a good place to stay, and I love that I can give back to the community by providing a helping hand to owners in need as well! I have a dog of my own at home that is still working through his advanced training. Before relocating to San Diego, I took care of dogs at a local humane society as both a volunteer and, later, as a hired employee. I looked after dogs in our main kennel, cleaning, feeding, providing prescribed medications, and observing/reporting any notable behaviors to management. I then moved to a quarantine area with a smaller number of dogs, but with higher care needs. These included new surrenders (often nervous/stressed, with unknown histories) as well as seniors/special needs dogs. I have a lot of experience taking care of dogs with various special needs, so I’m happy to take in pups of all walks of life. As a the proud owner of a Pit Bull of my own, I have no breed preferences. I'm happy to work with any kind of dog, and would love to hear about any fears/triggers they have from the owner. I'm all about meeting your pup at their level, respecting their boundaries, and continuing any routines/training/avoidance that you're practicing with your pet to make sure their time with me is structured just like it is at home. I think meeting beforehand is a great idea; it's always good to meet your pup on their turf with their owner present first to establish that first connection. So long as the owner gives the okay, I'm happy to use owner-approved treats to get that friendship going for any reluctant pups. I always tend to make fast friends with dogs, so I’m sure we’ll get along great! I know how important routines can be not only to avoiding a bathroom disaster, but also to alleviate a pet's anxiety. I pride myself on taking your pup’s schedule to heart by trying to emulate their routine as best as possible. I know that most pooches thrive on a sense of structure and consistency, so my goal is to make them feel right at home with me. As a customer, I know how much I liked checking my phone to see that my pets were happy in real time, so I take providing updates seriously to ensure that owners feel comfortable enjoying their time away from home. I live in North Park, which is a lovely neighborhood that is very dog-friendly. There is no shortage of safe sidewalk fun to be had here! Your pup will love sniffing the trail of other neighborhood dogs. There are lots of great places to walk and play around in, so we’ll have lots of fun in the sun together. With owner approval, I'm also happy to take your pupperoni to Balboa or Fiesta Island for a day on the town, too!

Information Brianna G. would like to know about your pet

Some things I like to learn ahead of time: Would you like to schedule a meet-and-greet before the stay? What’s your preferred method of communication? Does your pup have any health issues that need to be tended to? For instance, dietary restrictions, medicine, or behavior triggers? Do you have a vet nearby that you trust? Is your dog spayed/neutered? Does your pup like to stick to a given schedule, like regular walks in the morning and evening? What does your pup do well around? What does your pup try to avoid? What’s the best way to spoil your pup?

A typical day

I work part-time, mostly from home, so I have plenty of time and flexibility to make sure your pup is having the time of their life with me. Your pooch and I would have plenty of time to do their favorite neighborhood walks and play their favorite games. I love to keep myself and my pups happy and healthy at all times, so we’ll make sure to get plenty of exercise in. I'm an avid hiker and a big fan of checking out local walks. I'm happy to incorporate clients into these activities. I also work from home with a flexible schedule for those times when a dog just wants to have someone present while they're napping. Lastly, I’m happy to incorporate any of your suggestions if your pooch has particular spots they are used to!
