Active outdoor person & dog lover!
Pet care experience
I’m the friend/family member that everyone turns to to watch their pets. :) I grew up with a family dog, and have owned a dog of my own. I’m very comfortable and able to take care of dogs of all sizes and physical activity needs.
Reviews
Brin is the best person you could ask for to take care of your pet! She has watched my dog several times over the last few years and is reliable, tentative, and very loving!

Safety, trust & environment
I abide by the rules of the owner and ensure dogs are well exercised and loved! I understand the feeling of leaving your dog with someone who doesn’t know their exact schedule —I very much appreciate any owner who wants things done specifically with their animals and would never mess any part of the pet’s routine up! I’m happy to do whatever it is to keep your dog comfortable and happy during his/her time with me.
Information Brin K. would like to know about your pet
If there are certain behaviors that I can help either maintain and/or alleviate by incorporating certain practices that you may be doing at home please let me know. (I.e. if when walking another dog walks by you prefer that your dog is told to “sit” and wait quietly in the road while the other pup passes, etc.) If there are certain areas to watch out for when walking also please keep me posted. Lastly, if your dog is unable to walk fast, run, or needs a slow steady pace let me know as well. If there is any other pertinent information that needs to be told to ensure they their walls are comfortable, please let me know.
A typical day
I myself am a big walker/runner. I typically aim to run at least 3 miles a day and walk at least 3 miles a day. I live in downtown Saratoga so I am lucky to have beautiful views of just about anything I want at my doorstep. The Spa State Park, North Broadway around Skidmore, and the east side specially around the Oklahoma Training track area are some of my favorite places to venture. If it comes to a long run or long walk day, I frequent the bike path the extends from the State Park out towards Milton —that comes in handy during marathon training! I am open and willing to take dogs to certain places of comfortable and/or avoid areas that may not be best. I’m just happy to be outside!

Availability
I WFH at Fingerpaint Group and have just recently graduated with my Masters in Nutrition and Dietetics. I am on summer break right now and start my (unpaid!) residency to become a Registered Dietitian come September. Though I’m a busy bee, I’m trying to save as much money as possible prior to starting my internship this fall. I LOVE animals and would love to be able to help get them outside this summer. I currently WFH daily between 8-5 however, I am a very earlier riser and get a lunch break —both times I would be happy to give some pups some much need outside activity! I am also happy to get outside for some night time walks post 5 pm.
