Reliable Care from a Fellow Dog Mom
Hello! I’m Brittany, a lifelong animal lover and current dog mom to a 52-lb. pup of my own. I know firsthand how important it is to find someone you can trust to care for your furry friend as they’re part of your family! 🐾 I have experience caring for dogs (and cats!) of all different sizes, breeds, ages, and personalities and am comfortable with everything from walks and playtime to feeding, potty breaks, and plenty of attention and affection. As a dog owner myself, I understand that every pet has their own routine, quirks, and preferences, and I’m happy to follow your instructions closely to help them feel as comfortable as possible while you’re away. 🙂 I have experience with dogs of all sizes from small terriers to medium-size doodles to large labs and shepherds. I love puppies and have experience on how to raise them to be good doggy citizens. I also have experience with reactive dogs and understand the training and scenarios to place them in or avoid to make sure they are successful. I adore them all! ❤️ Whether your pet needs a good walk, some company while you’re out, or a comfortable place to spend the day, I’d love to meet you and your furry family member!

Safety, trust & environment
For daycare, I live in a standalone home in San Francisco with a private, spacious, fenced-in backyard, giving dogs plenty of room to play, explore, and relax. My dog can be the perfect playmate or I can keep them hanging solo if preferred. For drop-ins/walks, I’ll make sure to follow your specific instructions to ensure a safe and happy environment.
Ratings and reviews
I’ve known Brittany for a long time and she is the ultimate pet lover. She is one of the most caring, loving and responsible people I know. I’ve seen first hand her attention and love for pets and have full confidence in her ability to care for my 2 dogs.
Brittany is the most caring and thoughtful person I know and it shows when she interacts with dogs! She always puts the need of the dog first and will go above and beyond to ensure they're taken care of. I trust Brittany with my dog because she's responsible, thoughtful, and very communicative.
Brittany and I have been close friends for twenty-five years, since 6th grade! She is the type of person who approaches life from a positive standpoint and spreads joy to everyone around her—both to humans and dogs! Growing up, as a child and teen, Brittany was always eager to greet my family's dogs - she approached them with confidence and warmth. She has always been a "dog" person. Recently, I was a houseguest at her home for a week, and saw how much love and care she provides her dog, Leo. She and her husband take him for daily walks to different locations, enjoy time playing with him, and snuggle him on the sofa. They have trained him to know a variety of cues, and always treat him with kindness and encouragement. Additionally, Brittany has watched and walked my dog, Hunter. Hunter is a beagle who has anxiety when left alone—but he was at ease with Brittany beside him. Due to his prey drive, Hunter can be quite the passionate walker, but Brittany jumped right in with a wonderful attitude. She guided him with confidence and handled his pulling with nothing but positivity and grace. I cannot recommend Brittany highly enough—I know she will treat your pup with the same love, dedication, and joy that she gives to her own.
Brittany is the sweetest! She's watched my dog Maddox a handful of times over the past 7 years, and is always incredible with him. He's slow to trust, but felt instantly at ease in Brittany's care. Whenever she watches him, I get plenty of photos and updates, and Maddox returns home happy and exhausted from playing with Brittany's dog Leo. Highly recommend.

Schedule
My schedule is currently very flexible, which allows me to accommodate weekday walks, drop-ins, and day care as well as some weekend care. I’m dependable, communicative (I take way too many pictures!), and will always keep you updated so you can feel confident that your pet is happy and well cared for.
