loving pet care from a seasoned pro

Pet care experience

hi! i’m a dog & cat (etc) lover who has not only cared for my own pets but many others’ pets also. i most recently lived with a friend with 3 rescue dogs that i walked every day 2x for fun. i’ve lived with many different housemates with pets including parrots! i was employed at a dog training center/groomer/pet food store in coral gables. i have my pooch tattooed on my arm who i raised from 3 weeks to the ripe old age of 15. kind animal care has been a huge part of my life since i was 6 years old. i’ve also been a house sitter, babysitter & nanny in this country & abroad. i understand french & speak spanish fluently. i’m very communicative & am studying massage therapy so pet massage is definitely a possibility. pets need stress relief & body work too. let me care for your pet & you will be pleasantly pleased.

Brianna is attentive, detail oriented, and an excellent caretaker. When our previously booked sitter cancelled last minute just before our week long holiday vacation, Brianna was available and excited to take care of our dog Gordon and two cats, Minerva and Paulette. We returned to a happy and healthy family of fur babies who clearly enjoyed Brianna’s company! She even stayed an extra night for free when our flight was delayed and we got stuck at an airport half way across the country for another 12 hours longer than expected! I would recommend providing very specific instructions for Brianna. She appreciates and thrives on thorough detail and specificity. While we already leave very thorough care instructions for all of our sitters, Brianna asked for even more, and still, I don’t think it was quite enough. Examples of where we weren’t specific enough include: 1. Where Gordon is and isn’t allowed to go potty (we came home to a bunch of poo on our front walkway, which we didn’t notice until we opened the door to a DoorDash delivery person after getting home - they were tiptoeing around the poo with our food and that was pretty embarrassing), 2. Whether travel by car was approved (she took him on a handful of drives to nearby parks, which we didn’t anticipate, and would have provided more instructions about his special car harness and additional safety equipment, especially since she was sitting during a big snow storm and the roads were icy), and 3. Specifics about how to operate our TV (answering this and several other small questions like it took away from time we could have been relaxing and enjoying ourselves on a restful vacation). To be clear, these items are less a critique of Brianna’s care, and more a note to ourselves and to folks who wish to hire Brianna in the future that you should expect to leave instructions with a bit more detail than you may have previously left for other sitters. Which is a good thing, really, since it means she’ll be equipped to care for your pets in just the way you’d hope :) Thanks so much for everything, Brianna! (Oh! And I found that mysteriously missing boot out in the snow!)

Brianna was and is amazing with my dog. She's attentive to my Copper and his needs and always goes above and beyond when I've hired her. A+++++++++. I will never hire anyone else to give my dog attention and love.

Brianna was excellent with caring for Cooper. However, the key handoff didn’t go well. She before the end time on the last day and assumed I had backup keys for my apartment, which I don’t, locked my apt with Cooper inside, kept my keys and didn’t message me to let me know she chose to do that and I couldn’t get ahold of her via the Rover app or her cell. I was lucky I got ahold of my building’s 24 hour maintenance contact or else I could have been locked out of my apt overnight and Cooper would’ve suffered. It wasn’t done intentionally. Brianna is a very kind and caring person. So I think she did give Cooper really excellent care while I was away. Cooper was super excited and happy to see her when I picked up my keys from her the next day, which speaks volumes, but leaving the ability of me being able to get into my apt. to care for Cooper up to chance without verifying or letting me know what she was planning to do, and then being unreachable, that made a simple key drop exchange turn into a stressful situation. At the end of the day though, I got into my apt within a couple hours and Cooper wasn’t overly stressed. So everything worked out in the end, but if the maintenance contact didn’t pick up his phone, which sometimes happens, the situation could’ve become much worse than it did. Dealing with that uncertainty isn’t a good feeling.
