Fur Mom - Animal Scientist
Pet care experience
I am a first-generation Hispanic. I'm originally from the suburbs/inner Chicago and lived in Manhattan,KS for school for about 5 years. I have opted-out of sitting within my own home because I feel that being watched by strangers in a new environment would be more stressful, and your pet would feel more secure within their own home. I'm a 2019 graduate from Kansas State University with a BS in Animal Sciences and Industry. I took courses in companion animal management, animal disease, and worked closely with professors in different departments at the Vet school. I'm currently in my second year as a graduate student in the department of pathobiology with the college of vet med at UIUC I have attention to detail, can notice any peculiarities about your pet, and always communicate any concerns I may have. While in my care, your fur babies will be given the love and attention I would give to my own.
Reviews
Brianna was great with our dogs, and watching our house in general. She is highly knowledgeable in animal behavior. I highly recommend her to anyone needing pet services.
Brianna did an excellent job keeping me updated throughout my vacation by sending me pics & videos!! My pups loved her!
Brianna was my trusted dog-sitter over the course of several months time with a brief hiatus during the initial Covid-19 shut downs. She loved Gabby and Gabby loved her. I recommend her for any of your pet needs.
Brianna was a joy to work with from start to finish. She is very kind, and incredibly knowledgeable about "dog life." After some difficulties trying to find a local kennel that would board my dog, we thankfully found Bri. My dog is a rescue with a questionable past. Due to her experiences in an animal shelter, she is unfortunately not animal friendly. Bri had no issue with this and agreed to a series of drop-in visits when my husband and I went out of town for 2 nights. Gabby warmed up to her instantly. I love the fact that that drop-ins are tracked on the Rover website and notifications are sent out each time. I also loved receiving photo updates. If Bri is available during our next trip out of town, I will definitely request to book with her.
About Brianna S.
Communication
Skills
Safety, trust & environment
I greet your fluffers as I would my own when entering the home-announce myself then go looking for them and any surprise messes they might have made.
Information Brianna S. would like to know about your pet
I have no breed preferences. I would like to know: -the energy level of your pup -their social behaviors (if they are aggressive around other dogs, if they like to play rough, barking at anything that moves is considered normal etc.) -likes and dislikes -any medical needs
A typical day
For drop-ins and walks I will always try to tire them out before returning them home. Extra cold/hot days may just involve playing inside but in either case I like to send photo updates of your fluffers enjoying themself.

Availability
I rarely go out of town but will keep my calendar updated as best I can. I will communicate with you any time conflicts due to my course/work schedule.
