Furry Fun with Britt!
Pet care experience
A little bit about me: Hi everyone my name is Britt and I am currently located in Machesney Park, Illinois. I have been in the professional pet care workforce for years. Back in 2014, where you can see see most of my reviews on here are from, I used to live in the DC area and pet sat in my home full-time. After that I re-located to Texas where I managed a dog grooming & boarding facility where I learned many new skills I still use today. To allow for more time to focus on finishing college, I left that job and took up traveling pet sitting in client's homes where I took care of a variety of animals not just dog and cats. I learned how to care for horses, reptiles, birds, and even an occasional hedgehog. After college I decided to move back near family and have been in Illinois since 2018. I am now a full-time accountant. If money were no object I would still be in the pet care field. I find myself missing that quality time with animals I used to know everyday and wish to offer services outside of my daily M-F work schedule. Send me a message and I can see what I can do for you! I can also provide basic grooming services for dogs. Bath, nail grind, and brush out. I provide my own supplies; shampoo, conditioner, perfume, brushes, and high velocity dryer. I do not do haircuts at this time.
Reviews
My husband and I had a wonderful vacation, thanks to Brittney's loving care of our cat and dog. She sent fun texts and pics, too! We recommend Brittney highly.
Brittney was an amazing pet/house sitter and went above and beyond my expectations! From the moment the dogs met her at the pre-stay visit they loved Brittney! She was great with them and sent plenty of pics throughout the stay. The pups can't wait to cuddle again!!
Brittney was fantastic! On time, attentive to Franklin. Couldn't ask for a better experience!
Another great experience with Brittney. Thank you very much for taking care of Jersea while we were away.

Safety, trust & environment
I like to keep your pet's schedule as close to your own as I can and will accommodate whatever your pet needs. From extra time outside to additional snuggle time, I'll be there. I am able to give both oral and injected medications.
Information Brittney L. would like to know about your pet
Does your pet have any issues with separation anxiety, potty training, or are they on any medications or have allergies. I would also like to know a bit about your dog and their personality quirks. Do they walk well on a leash?
A typical day
Where we will walk I will take your dog for a walk around your neighborhood. If there is a park within walking distance we can bring a toy and play. If you prefer we can also spare some time for fetch in your fenced yard. Your dog's safety is my number one priority, so I will not allow your dog off the leash under my supervision unless in a fully fenced area. I am not comfortable taking your dog to a public dog park. Too many things could go wrong and in my experience it is where irresponsible pet owners go to let their dogs run free. I have encountered many ill-tempered dogs at these places and feel it's best to keep your babies safe while on my watch.
Services
Brittney can watch in your home
Availability
I work Monday thru Friday 8-4:30 in Janesville (yep I commute), so if you are along my route I would definitely be able to accommodate your pet if you need a drop-in service or walk in the evenings during the week. I am available anytime on Saturday and Sunday. Don't hesitate to ask about services or times not listed! I currently do not offer services in my home at this time.
