Caring, reliable, and fun!

Pet care experience

I'm a full time dog walker and pet sitter with years of experience, including running an independent pet care business out of Chicago, IL. My whole family is in the pet care industry with my mother opening her own rescue this year and my sister in veterinarian school. I love dog walking as a means of getting to know my city even better and the simple joy of getting to interact with some of the world’s best dogs! I've both had and grew up around dogs, cats, horses, and pigs and I also have experience caring for exotic animals as well. In addition to being a pet caregiver, I am a woodworker and furniture maker. I'm currently a proud dog mom of a chihuahua who challenges me every day but who I love more than anything. Aside from my woodworking and dog walking, I love to read, practice weight training, and of course spend quality time with my pup. I practice loose leash walking and force free training and may make suggestions or give advice based on these concepts. Ask me about it! I am fully insured.

Brittany has been very reliable about walking Simon and feeding him and my cat. . She’s clearly knowledgeable about caring for animals and truly enjoys them. Great communication and easy to work with. She gives me nice pictures and good information (for instance, letting me know when I was close to running out of cat food) Thanks Brittany!

I was in a bit of a bind and really needed help quickly brittany responded in a very timely manner and was more than helpful. She was patient and kind and she got really good angles of the boys on their walk. LOL

Safety, trust & environment

I have a policy in place to always walk dogs using a well-fitted harness and in some cases I may make suggestions such as a gentle leader or using two points of contact for the leash (connected to both a harness and a collar for flight risk pups). I will ALWAYS monitor your pet while outside in the yard, even if the yard is securely fenced.

Information Brittany M. would like to know about your pet

I absolutely do not discriminate based on the breed of your dog. What I would always like to know before booking a walk and/or stay is the temperament of your dog, their triggers (if any), and what makes them the most comfortable and enriched. I am willing to work with challenging temperaments, so be honest about your pup's needs to ensure the safety of the pup, myself, and others. I'm looking forward to meeting your fur family!

A typical day

Let me know what fun parks that allow dogs may be near you! I love taking dogs through the beautiful park system here in Philly and I frequently take pups on hikes in the Wissahickon. I work on loose leash training with my clients and strive to give dogs the most comfortable walks possible while still challenging them in positive ways to encourage growth.
