Loving Pet Caregiver and Friend

Pet care experience

I have been caring for my friend’s and family's animals for the past six years as their go to pup, kitty, reptile, etc caretaker. I have my own dog whose name is Persephone and work from home managing my online boutiques. This affords me lots of spare time to take care of your best friends with the same tender love and care I provide for my own wonder pup. My dog is active and am quite used to it being a fitness enthusiast myself. I don’t shy away from extensive play time and long walks as it doubles as exercise for me and bonding time with the animal :). I am unashamedly the person that stops to gawk at dogs I see out in public and often have to mute my squeal of excitement. I am excited to offer my pet care services full time through Rover after having built my own business around my schedule and the things I love to do! Our property is located in an exclusive and quiet neighborhood in Reston, VA equipped with Serta Memory Foam Dog Beds, calming and brain stimulating dog beds, aromatherapy, fenced in backyard for playtime and potty breaks, a large kitchen to prepare fresh meals, provide meal storage, administer medications and closed front patio area with beautiful nature views inside from a large sliding glass door. We’ve been certified and trained as dog care givers, pet sitters and dog walkers via Wag, Rover and Care.Com so you’ll know your ever loyal companion will be in great hands. We’re attentive to your doggo’s needs and thoughtfully select classmates with complimentary personalities so your dog may strengthen their social skills. We also limit our daycare class sizes to be sure to give each of our guests the one on one time and human interaction they also need. A daily schedule of outside time, meal times, play and education offers your fur babies a fully enriching experience! Want to see some reviews and testimonials?

My dog Wendy struggled with terminal cancer. Britt provided loving care for her during her final years (4). I was often away for work and Britt always provided the most comprehensive care to her I could have asked for. She would take her out for routine potty breaks once every couple of hours, administered her 7 medications at their exact times, slept alongside her and provided me with family updates so I remained apart of her care and life even if I couldn't physically. I recommend her as a dog walker, sitter or caretaker a thousand times. She helped with this difficulty fate for my dog and eased my family's worries with her attentive care and positive attitude. Best animal caregiver around!!

Information Brittany K. would like to know about your pet

Before dog or cat sitting. I request that owners share the common commands that they use with their animals with me. It helps to learn their language! I also ask that they list specifics to keep their routine such as feeding times, medication administration times, potty breaks, favorite toys and querks (any strange behaviors they might do that I may not be familiar with). My dog will sometimes be overdramatic if she doesn't want me to pick her up for instance and will yelp as I do so as if I am hurting in some way. I try to let newcomers know that she can be over the top so they don't worry should they witness this reaction :).

A typical day

I am avid fitness buff so long walks are no problem as this doubles as bonding time with your furbaby and exercise for me! I love to play games that stimulate animals senses or drives such as puzzles, food games, predatory drive sensory toys (dangle toys for cats) and catch. I am happy to make sure they receive enough play to satisfy their needs.
