Information Brit R. would like to know about your pet
When you contact me for a booking, I will want to know absolutely anything and everything you can tell me about your pet. Health history, personality, likes, dislikes, quirks and concerns are especially important! I will also appreciate information about any house care that will be needed. I will always make sure that all pet related items are perfectly clean the day the booking concludes so you can arrive home to a fresh, clean house.
A typical day
My style of care is informed by the latest scientific findings in canine and feline psychology and will be custom tailored to your pet's personality and needs. I am Fear Free educated and new clients are always surprised just how quickly their shy pets end up playing, letting me pet them and even cuddling. I also have more than a decade of intensive hands-on experience doing everything from puppy training to agility work, but my favorite part of canine care is just a good hearty walk out in nature. My walking gear setup is second to none and I am very familiar with all trails and most neighborhoods in town. My prior experience working at a doggy daycare provided professional training for everything from body language to scuffle intervention and I am Pet CPR Certified through Pet Sitters International. I have worked with all sizes, temperaments and personalities, and know how to "meet them where they're at" to develop a fulfilling friendship with your dog. May through September, dog walks are not available as soon as the temperature is above 90 degrees for one hour or more as it becomes dangerous to walk dogs in such conditions. Please contact me about alternative arrangements to make sure your pup gets the exercise they need even in the heat of summer! We can do toy play, dance parties, trick training or some water aerobics if you have a pool. If you have a snuggly couch potato, we can marathon some nature documentaries while I give them a back massage. If there's a toy or activity they're obsessed with, we'll indulge! I even have some clients who love "Story Time" where I read aloud to them. Whatever works, it is my goal to give your pet the BEST DAY EVER!

Private, Cats-Only Boarding Cottage
Pet care experience
A true professional will provide you with unparalleled peace of mind so you can focus on family, fun or work while traveling. I'm Brit, an independently insured pet sitter and local Tucsonan. Pet sitting is my full time job! Booking with me will make it as easy and stress free as possible to be away from your beloved pet(s). The Kitty Cottage is a lovely garden studio where your feline friends can relax in peace without the worries of traditional boarding solutions that involve sharing ventilation and space with pets from other households. It has 128 sqft of floor space as well as a 32 sqft loft. The cottage has been designed for excellent bird watching opportunities from every level - floor, cat furniture and loft. Accessibility can be modified based on your kitties' needs. Cats of all personalities and physical ability love the climate-controlled cottage overlooking a garden which hosts many birds, butterflies, and lizards daily. We have every kind of pet enrichment to offer so your cat will benefit from novel, mentally satisfying experiences every single day! Music made for cats softly plays throughout the day, with the soundtrack changed daily. A tablet plays games and videos for them. New toys, tunnels and rugs are brought in daily to provide novelty. The kitty cottage will be your cat's ultimate vacation! I am very comfortable caring for diabetic and aging or grumpy cats and my calm energy puts them at ease. Everything in the cottage can be moved or modified to suit kitties with mobility issues. Your beloved furry companion(s) will be happy and well cared for if you trust them with me! I visit the cottage several times a day, depending on your cat's social and medical needs. Frequent visits provide kitties with plenty of time to play, give and receive affection, engage with enrichment items, and enjoy some human company. Mealtimes and medications will be followed to the letter. Your cat will also see me in the backyard throughout the day, and I also check in on them via camera. The camera records all movement so I can review every moment of your kitty's day, ensuring they always have fresh food, water, and litterboxes. Camera access is available via the Ring app so you can check in on your kitty throughout their stay. Pet parents will receive professional-quality photos from every visit each day, as well as a 5+ minute video showcasing the highlights of your cat's day. If preferred, I can send clips throughout each day showing the highlights of their vacation in the cottage. Pickup and drop-off are free anywhere within 20 miles of Ina/Thornydale, but please note that I will not assist in finding or catching kitties for pickup. Cat(s) must already be in their carrier or crate at the pickup time scheduled. The standard cancellation policy may apply if your pet is not ready or able to be safely transported to the cottage. The cottage is safely situated behind locked gates on private property, and only accessible for dropoff or pickup with a scheduled appointment. A fee of $10/hour will be charged if pet parents are late for pickup. Circumstances requiring an exception to these stipulations must be discussed prior to booking, otherwise our standard fee and cancellation policies may apply. As for more info about me: I began cat sitting at 6 years old when I offered to feed my next door neighbor's cat lunch and scoop his litter box every weekday in exchange for a jar of dill pickles per week. Since then I have provided routine, kitten and elder care for the feline companions of friends, family and clients. I have 5 cats of my own who live in our main house, and being their Mom is a great source of joy in my life. Each has a unique personality and their own routine with me throughout the day, and I love spoiling them! Booking me will enable you to focus on fun, family or work while away because you have countless Instagram-worthy photos, lengthy high-quality videos and detailed notes from every single drop-in that really highlight the professional level of care your pets are receiving. When you contact me for a booking, I will want to know absolutely anything and everything you can tell me about your pet. Health history, personality, likes, dislikes, quirks, and concerns are especially important! There is no detail too small. There is no other boarding or drop-in sitter experience like this in the greater Tucson area, so book early to ensure your cats' next staycation is absolutely purrfect!

Reviews

Brit is always helpful and great with our usually moody cat. She has been a big help.



Brit was absolutely amazing! I would without a doubt leave my kitties in her cottage again! She sent pictures frequently, and allowed access to the cottages ring camera. My cats acclimated really fast and enjoyed their stay away from home!


Brit goes above and beyond consistently. I know my pets are safe and happy while I'm gone if she's taking care of them.

Brit was very communicative, very knowledgeable about cat care, and very sensitive to my cat’s needs/issues. I did not worry about her while I was away and felt very confident that she was in good hands. My husband and I really loved the videos she sent too!
