Dog-Loving Lawyer!
Pet care experience
I have had a dog in the member of my family since the age of two, and was hooked ever since. I am a lawyer working from home so I have great flexibility in terms of pet sitting and love doing so because I get to spend time with a pup! During law school, I consistently had dog walking/dog sitting gigs so I am well-versed in caring for another’s pet. I'm flexible based on what the dog needs. I love to go for walks and live right next to the MVT, so I can take dogs for longer walks if they board with me and like to do so, or just go out for potty breaks as needed.
Reviews
Brittany dog sat for my dog a few times and was great every time. She always arrived promptly and our dog Ollie was always so excited to see her. She is very reliable and I know he was always cared for.
When I went on vacation, I had Brittany watch my two dogs. She was great and I felt like my dogs were in good hands. She was tentative with their morning/night food schedule and was very communicative during that time. :) Thanks Brittany!!!
If I could leave zero stars, I would. Brittany should not be a dog sitter. We hired Brittany to watch our dog from 10:30am on 9/4 to about 3:00pm on 9/6. First off, she arrived late. Then she left our apartment at about 7pm on 9/4 and did not get back until midnight (she went to a bar with her friends). During that time, our dog Luna was left alone in our apartment in the dark. This was the longest she has ever been left alone. When I asked Brittany to return to our apartment to dog sit Luna (what we were paying her to do), she replied that she did not think Luna needed to be looked after so attentively. She was very rude, insisted she knew what was best for Luna, and simply disregarded our requests. When she finally returned to the apartment on 9/4 around midnight, she told me I should try to find another sitter for Luna from 9/5-9/6. Our neighbors in the apartment also told us that when they saw Brittany with Luna in our building, Brittany was with another man, so we are also concerned this man entered our apartment without our permission. We hired a sitter so we could have some peace of mind while we were at a wedding out of town, but unfortunately, we did not get that with Brittany.
Brittany was a great and reliable sitter. She looked after our puppy for two weeks and offered to take him to the groomers which was really appreciated. He had a couple of health issues and she kept us in the loop all the time and was always quick to respond

My boyfriend and I live in a large (1500 sq ft) two bedroom apartment with a private balcony as well as a walk-out patio, so there is plenty of space for your pup to stay here comfortably!

Information Brittany M. would like to know about your pet
Dogs are not allowed in either bedroom, but we allow them to roam in all other spaces of the home as well as sleeping on the couch. If a crate is something that can easily be transported to our apartment, that would be a big bonus, but not necessary.
A typical day
I'm happy to engage in whatever activities the dog enjoys. If that's going for walks, playing with toys, or just lounging on the couch, I'm looking to make sure they are happy and comfortable!
