Pet care experience

Safe, Loving Care While You’re Away

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.

Pets

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.

Briona was great with Tego! He has separation anxiety, and since adopting him a month ago we’ve only gone out a couple of times. Knowing he was happy and comfortable with her allowed me to actually relax and enjoy our night out. She is so sweet with him. She even brought in my grocery delivery for me while she was there, which was so appreciated. We’ll definitely be using Briona again. 🐶

Briona was great. I knew she was going to be a good fit when Theo met her. She sent pictures and everything was in order and tidy when we returned. We’d definitely call her again!

Briona did a great job sitting for Raya! She was communicative, followed instructions and was respectful of our home. Can’t wait to have her again!

Schedule

Pet care fits easily into my daily schedule. I’m used to caring for animals every day and am able to plan my routine around feeding times, walks, playtime, and check-ins. I’m flexible, reliable, and make sure each pet gets the time, attention, and care they need.

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. 🐾
