Pet care experience
Hello, my name is Brittany, I love dogs, actually I love all animals. So yes if you have animals other than dogs that need to be cared for (farm animals, horses, hamsters, etc. I'm willing to do that as well!) I will always make sure the dogs get plenty of attention and exercise. (unless you like your chubby budy, then plenty of belly time!) I am always on time, if you need a tight schedule kept I'm the person. Tight schedule or very flexible, what ever you need. I have always been great with dogs, I grew up being around dogs and training them. (Basic training like potty, sit, lay to some tricks.) I can handle more than one dog at once. Fun fact I've walked a pack of 13 min pins before! I have done lots of volunteering with dogs and cats such as the SPCA for a number of years. I’ve worked as a Lead Kennel Technician, whilst in this position I dealt with severely aggressive dogs (toward people and other dogs), deaf dogs and tons of specialty breeds. I have returned numerous lost dogs to their owners. I created my own search and rescue group in Florida during hurricane IRMA we went out and took food and supplies to all the shelters then went out to where people couldn’t access and found lost animals and got them the care they needed. If there's anything that you need, just ask, my settings are flexible! So far I have owned a min pin, Chiweenie, jack russel, Weimaraner, American Bully, Lab/cur mix, pit bull, greatdane/American bull dog mix. There's not a breed I don't love! If there's anything else you'd like to know about me just ask! If your dog doesn’t get along with other dogs, no problem. I keep the dogs separated unless the owner(s) say other wise. Also, I am a dog trainer in the process of opening my business, let me know if you’re interested in dog training services as well.
Reviews
Brittany was great. She didn't over communicate, which was great since we were on vacation, but was very responsive when needed.
Great communication, regular updates, and a happy pup!
Brittany was great with both our pups for the night. It was such a relief to be so comfortable leaving them safely, especially for a holiday. We will definitely be using her again in the future if she’s available.
Our 2 dogs had a great stay with Brittany! Brittany was super flexible with scheduling (and rescheduling) a meet and greet and the drop off/pick up times for the stay. Very responsive and sent lots of pictures to keep us updated! We would definitely book with Brittany again and recommend for anyone else needing a great dog sitter!

Skills
Safety, trust & environment
I treat all animals as if they were my own and always put safety first. The care aspect changes with each dog such as, treats, type of play (if they don’t want tug to be a game the dog plays or want extra tug time) and so on. I do my best to cater to each dogs individually and to the owners preferences. I do not mind doing things such as wiping paws off before coming inside, a quick brush, extra scratches, PB Kong, etc.
Information Brittany M. would like to know about your pet
I would like to know what commands the dog knows (basic, or extensive), what breed(your dog will NOT be turned away for breed, just for size reference), if your dog does well with other dogs/people/children, is your dog short tempered or aggressive, if they have any allergies and if there are any specific instructions that need to be followed while they're in my care.
A typical day
I do what ever activities that dog likes! Just like us humans each dog is different, some like to fetch, others just run, walk, hike, swim, tug, learn new things, anything! I like to get some information on the dog and decide what to do from there to ensure they have the best time!
