Brittany B.
FALLS CHURCH, VA
Certified Animal Care Specialist 🐾
Pet care experience
I have owned and cared for pets since I initially began at age 10. I have cared for all breeds of both dogs and cats. I have experience working in numerous boarding facilities in the past and most recently managed a prominent boarding facility in Maryland. Having spent extensive time in the animal care industry, I am certified in multiple fields including medication administration/disability handling, animal temperament, disease and sanitation practices, first aid, CPR, and breed specific/geriatric care. I have also trained dogs (my own as well as others) and am willing to work with your animals if that is something you want to integrate into our time together. I have two dogs of my own (both velvet couch hippos), Rocko and Ravioli, who I absolutely adore and couldn't live without so I understand the need for someone special to care for your fur family. Rocko is Service Animal Certified (him and I went through the training together) and Ravioli is a Therapy Dog. Both have amazing temperment and I have used them to train other dogs in the past. Nothing would make me happier than the chance to get to know you and your babies! I am open to whatever routine you have created for your family and pets! I am very fluent in the various necessities that different animals require so please--don't dumb anything down while you're away. I want them to feel as comfortable with me as they would any other time!
Reviews
Brittany is absolutely fantastic! She is knowledgeable, kind, attentive, and responsive. She’s great! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
Brittany watched our dog for us over a weekend and was great! We met her before to introduce our dog which was really helpful. She communicated well and shared some photos and videos with us during our time away.

About Brittany B.
Communication
Skills
Safety, trust & environment
I keep my two dogs on a pretty regular schedule centered around my work day, with a long walk once I'm home at night and plenty of toys/playtime before bedtime at 10PM. They are both very friendly and respond to commands, given they are both service/therapy trained. They have a "dog room" dedicated to them in our house where Rocko is free to roam (aka. sleep all day) and Ravioli is crated while we are away.
Information Brittany B. would like to know about your pet
Let me know all of your dog's favorite toy types, energy level, any aggressive behavior tendencies, etc. I have and am open to working with all levels of temperament in animals as long as we keep the communication open about what you're looking for and what can best provide.
A typical day
I love going to the walking/biking trail by my house or nearby dog parks, if that is within your dog's temperament. Safety is of utmost importance to me when caring for your pets so activities will always be tailored to their needs and temperament. I have extensive training with disabilities, geriatric animals, medication administration (both pill and injectable), and obedience training.

I currently work a 9-5 Mon-Fri in Social Work but on weekends I have a completely open schedule to accommodate whatever needs your animals may have and maybe a few adventures! I also make sure to update my caledar regularly for the convenience of my current and potential clients. Whatever you have in mind, I'm happy to do my very best to accomodate it 😁
