Pet care experience
I have been around animals my entire life. Any chance I got I would play with the dogs I was around and try and teach them tricks. While in college I rescued my first dog and we have been training and playing ever since. I have taught him many tricks, how to fetch and how to play frisbee. However, with his past living situation he has reactivity issues so I am well equipped on how to notice signs of stress in dogs after getting to know them/spending time with them, how to watch the environment for triggers, and how to manage the dog through the trigger. Regardless of who I'm around I will always put the dogs safety and comfort first. As humans we have option to move away from stressful situations but dogs don't always have that opportunity. That is why I make every effort possible to protect the dog.
Reviews
Brittany is loving to all dogs and gave her dog a new chance at life through adoption. She is patient and kind and works hard with her dog to train him to be all he can be. She is excited about her future as a dog mom and is looking forward to taking in many more helpless animals.
Brittany has cared for my dog Harper multiple times! Harper loves when she gets to go on walks with Brittany. Harper gets SO excited anytime she gets to see her! Brittany is great with all animals and has lots of experience caring for them. I would recommend Brittany for anyone looking for a loving pet caregiver! -Karis

Skills
Safety, trust & environment
While helping your animal, my goal is to maintain as normal of a routine as possible. That means following a path your dog likes to walk (or finding new ones), keeping the potty routine consistent, and playing whatever games your dog enjoys whether that be tug, fetch, frisbee, etc.
Information Brittany V. would like to know about your pet
I think the dogs behavior is very important to know. While this is not a deterrent for me, it is important to be aware of how the dog acts in certain situations so I know what to expect and what is normal of your dog. Any triggers the dog may have is also important to know for the safety of me and the animal.
A typical day
I will do anything the dog enjoys doing. Some of my favorites are walks around neighborhood ponds, occasionally going to nearby parks, frisbee, fetch and tug. My whole goal is to whatever the dog finds enjoyment in. For some dogs this is being outside sniffing on walks while others would rather continuously walk two miles. I also enjoying trying new things with them to see if it's something they enjoy.
