My name is Brianna, and I'm looking forward to meeting your pet! As a kid, I had the privilege of loving a Shitzu and an Australian Shepherd; both of whom taught me very valuable lessons over those years. Other experiences include watching pets of many sizes for family and friends, including (but not limited to): Yorkies, Dachshunds, Whippets, Pit-mixes, Chow-mixes, Doodles, Labs, and Retrievers. My personal approach: I *do not yell* at dogs unless there is imminent danger. I will give a few verbal, correcting commands first, and then move to physical cues if that does not work. I believe that animals have both loyalty and autonomy; and when you allow them to have some of the latter, it helps bolster the former. It is also my aim to conform to the rules and commands that you have set for your pet. Consistency is key! My walking style is relaxed. I am 5'3" so my strides are not the longest, but I have spent countless hours walking my own dogs in several different scenarios. I am also happy to spend time playing with your pet; whether by fetch, tug-o-war, or however your pet likes to exert energy. Before doing overnight stays, I would like to meet and spend time with you & your pet at least once. After a rapport is established, I'm happy to care for your loved one in-house. * I have recently updated my rates in order to continue serving the Coraopolis-Sewickley-North Fayette area sustainably! * Repeat Customers should ask about locking in their rates!
