Experienced and Passionate
Pet care experience
I have been professionally walking and sitting for dogs for 3 years. I am also President of Friend of the Barrington Dog Park. I am very passionate about animal well-being, and treat every dog like my own. I personally have one of my own, and have another who stays with me enough that he is like my own. Sally, mine, is a Boston Terrier/Cattle Dog rescue who is my world. Copper, the other, is a purebred Alaskan Malamute who is crate-trained and a big fluff-ball. We go on hikes, walks, and other adventures (including, sometimes, Home Depot!). You will find that I may refer to your dog as as part of the "kids". I do not have children of my own and therefore throw all my love into my dogs. I also love cats! I have 2 of my own, and they run the house. Despite their reputation, my cats are FULL of personality. Dogs who board must be well-behaved with cats. But I offer check-ins on cats while you are on vacation! (Side note: I've even watched birds. I only have a hard time with reptiles and amphibians...and spiders.) I am trained in Pet CPR and First Aid through Pet Emergency Education. I also have experience with dogs with anxiety issues, and do my best to comfort them when needed.
Reviews
Brianna was great! Oscar enjoyed his time with her!
Brianna was responsive, responsible and loving to the animals. She sent me photos and kept me updated on everyone while I was away, which meant a lot. Would definitely book Brianna again!
Brianna was amazing with our pets! Our pets were happy upon our return. Would recommend to anyone!
Brianna has been coming to the house for several weeks to play with our puppy while the grown-ups are at work. She has been very patient with our shy-guy and has earned his trust. We would recommend Brianna to anyone who wants a reliable and caring person to attend to their dog.

Skills
Information Brianna T. would like to know about your pet
If there are any behavior issues or restrictions (special training, for instance), I'd like to stick to your rules. I have experience with traditional positive reinforcement, as well as specialty collars. I treat every animal like they are my own with love and affection. I have 2 cats and a dog so if animals are to stay with me, I would hope for them to be good with other animals, or they will need to be crated. I do have my own crates, large enough for a 100+lbs Malamute.
A typical day
I live close by to the Barrington Dog Park. If your dog is good with others and you are comfortable, we can absolutely go there. I also take long walks on and around the bike path and other parks. Summer time is great for a dip in the ocean as well.
