Safety, trust & environment

I care for pets by sticking closely to their usual routines to help them feel comfortable and stress-free. This includes feeding, walks or litter box care, playtime, and plenty of attention and affection. I always make sure pets are safe, well-supervised, and in a clean environment, whether I’m caring for them in my home or in a client’s home. I also keep owners updated and make sure their pets are happy and well cared for while they’re away.

Information Briona Z. would like to know about your pet

It’s important for me to know your pet’s daily routine, feeding schedule, and any medical needs or medications. I also like to know their personality, energy level, likes and dislikes, and how they do with other animals or people. Any triggers, training cues, or special instructions are helpful, as well as emergency contact and vet information. This helps me provide the best, safest care possible for your pet. 🐾

A typical day

I love keeping pets active and engaged! Depending on their energy level, I enjoy going on walks, playing fetch or tug, having outdoor playtime, and doing enrichment games. For calmer pets, I spend time with gentle play, cuddles, brushing, and relaxing companionship. I always adjust activities to each pet’s personality and needs so they feel happy, comfortable, and well cared for. 🐾💛

Safe, Loving Care While You’re Away

Pet care experience

I’ve grown up around puppies and cats and have been caring for pets from a young age, which has given me hands-on experience with feeding, walking, playtime, and basic care. I also currently work with puppies as part of my job, where I care for them daily and make sure they’re healthy, safe, and happy. Being around both dogs and cats every day has helped me understand their needs, personalities, and routines, and I truly love caring for animals.

Briona did an amazing job watching my dog, Jax! From the moment we met, I could tell she genuinely loves and cares for animals. She kept me updated with messages and photos, which gave me great peace of mind while I was away. Jax was happy, well cared for, and clearly received plenty of attention and affection. Briona was reliable, responsible, and went above and beyond to make sure he was comfortable and cared for. I highly recommend Briona to anyone looking for a trustworthy and caring pet sitter!

Briona is fantastic! She has been a huge help with walking my dog Charlie. She is genuine, reliable, and communicates well. It's comforting to know Charlie is in great hands during his daily walks.

Briona was excellent with my two cats and dog, making sure they were comfortable and loved. She also took great care of my place while I was gone. It’s nice to know I have someone I can trust while I’m away and I finally get to enjoy some holiday time.

Highly recommend! Briona has been very responsive and accommodating and our anxious senior dog loves her. She was great about sending us updates and photos and we absolutely plan to rebook with her in the future.
