Can also go on runs! Cats welcome!
Pet care experience
Our 2 year old golden gives us a proper run for our money, but it’s nothing I can’t handle - the same applies for your pets! I’ve never not lived with at least one animal growing up. I know that for some animals, meeting new people can be scary, and so the skittish cat I gained the trust of growing up has helped me learn patience when making a new friend. I know basic training in dogs, which includes being a calm, kind, and confident leader when I need to be (discouraging biting, jumping, excessive barking, pulling on a leash, etc. with positive reinforcement).
Reviews
Brittany was fabulous with our kitty. We definitely recommend her and plan to use her sitting services again.
I definitely recommend Brittany, She is genuine and I trust her with Cricket!!
Brittany was an excellent sitter! Our cats seemed very comfortable with her and everything was good when we got home. We would definitely love to have her cat sit for us again.
Awesome with Carly! Always ready to help us out! Brittany is wonderful!

Safety, trust & environment
We have a dog run in our large backyard that stretches from one end to the other so any dog attached can run about as they please. A fence along the perimeter of the backyard is also going to be installed soon. We are knowledgeable in our pets’ allergies, diets, training, and energy habits that allow us to keep them happy and healthy. While our cat is more introverted and prefers to sleep most of the day, our golden requires far more enrichment, which I never fail to provide, whether that’s through puzzle toys I buy, walks/runs, taking her to new environments, or just a simple game of tug-of-war.
Information Brittany W. would like to know about your pet
I am a fast learner and I tend to take notes when I can. While I have not worked with senior or special needs dogs one-on-one, I can easily adapt to the life a dog might need. I would prefer a list of what your dog needs before we meet and greet so I know whether I am comfortable or not with the requirements. Other basic needs, such as when to feed them, what to feed them, when to take them outside, etc. will also be needed.
A typical day
Aside from the obvious walks, I can jog with your dog, play with toys, and even try some training with them, such as trying to discourage biting, pulling, jumping, etc. or teaching them to sit.
Services
Brittany can watch in your home
Availability
While I may take up other jobs such as babysitting and being a door dasher, I am up for any work! My schedule is very flexible. I can start from 11 AM and beyond, I can administer pill/ointment medication and provide plenty of love! <3
