Loving your dogs, cats, & exotics
Pet care experience
I am a huge animal lover and have experience with many types of pets. My husband and I currently have 4 dogs, fish, guinea pigs, a rabbit, reptiles, and birds. I also have experience with cats, rodents, and other small animals and reptiles. We also have an 12 year old daughter who is very respective of pets. I am currently a manager and previous dog trainer at Petco, so I am used to many different pet personalities! We can sit most pets (dogs, cats, small animals, reptiles, small birds, fish) in your home, and dog and child friendly dogs and some small animals in ours. We have watched friends' dogs for up to 2 weeks at a time in our home, and my dogs got along great with them, spending most of the time playing and napping together. Why I love dog sitting I have had dogs my entire life, usually in multiples. I have had roughly 20 dogs in my lifetime and have done any and all training with my dogs since I was 5. Most of my dogs have been medium sized, including pit/boxer and pit/rottweiler mixes, a chow/akita mix, blue heelers, an american eskimo, two catahoula brothers, and a few lab mixes. Of my current dogs, Luna and Gwen are Canine Good Citizen certified and Gwen is also a blood donor! All four of my dogs are rescues, Luna from the Yakima Humane Society, Shyla having been in 4 places including Yakima Humane in only a month before my neighbor brought her to us, Boba is from Tacoma Humane Society, and Gwen was a rehome on Craigslist at 8 months old. Meet my pets We have 4 dogs, a boxer, a kelpie x whippet, a pug x, and a chihuahua. We also share our home with several smaller pets: rabbit, guinea pigs, a couple medium sized birds, reptiles and amphibians, fish, and some really interesting insects, Madagascar hissing cockroaches. About my yard Fully fenced back yard with a 6'+ fence. We live on a good sized plot so plenty of room to run. My experience administering medication I have given oral meds to several different animals including dogs, cats, rodents, birds, and reptiles. I have given injections to snakes and insulin to cats.
Reviews
So lucky to have found an amazing dog sitter!
Thank you for providing such great care for Jonny time and time again. It’s evident how much he loves you guys!
Brianna is the absolute best. She will be your pet's best friend. She is so kind and patient with my two hell hounds.
Brianna is a true animal lover and does a great job caring for my kitties and letting me know how they’re doing. She follows instructions to the letter and I always find she’s gone above and beyond. I feel so lucky to have found her.

Information Brianna K. would like to know about your pet
No breed preferences, dogs must be dog and kid friendly if staying in my home. I am able to sit in your home if they prefer to be solitary. Dogs need to be up to date on shots and flea medication. Does your dog have any 'special' requirements/medical issues or things to look out for?
A typical day
Walks can be around.your neighborhood or nearby trail/park setting. All training methods I use (including for walks) are positive based. If learning new tricks we use treats to lure behaviors, and on walks I prefer to use a collar, harness, head collar, or front clip harness.
