Big hearted & Experienced pet lover
Pet care experience
*SE HABLA ESPAÑOL* // *ON PARLE FRANÇAIS* // *PARLO ITALIANO* My friends and family have trusted me with caring for their pets for short and long term needs. I take great care in walking, playing, feeding, bathing, changing diapers, bottle feeding, and snuggling the dogs and cats I've cared for as if they were my own. I have cared for puppies and senior dogs. I love to snuggle with the low energy dogs, and to play with the high energy puppies and adult dogs! My own dog is a rescue, and I have fostered dogs before as well. My cats were abandoned on the street so I took them in, bottle fed them, fell in love with them, and cared for them ever since. I have a big heart, and a soft spot for furry babies, and would love to share the love with your fur babies as well!
Reviews
Brittny was hired to watch my two dogs and cat for 5 nights. I'll start with what she did well: -Mostly responsive to text messages. Willing to learn to medicate my cat, willing to do a lot of walking with my dogs Things that were done poorly: -I was charged for puppy care but my puppy went 11 hours without going out one night and 10 hours another night. One of the nights Brittny was hired, she performed all tasks but on a drop-in basis and my dogs were crated until she came back at 4am. My puppy also chewed up his sister's Gentle Leader and my couch cushions, which leads me to believe that he was not supervised adequately at all times and raises the question of why I was paying for additional care. -I clearly wrote out their potty schedule on this app and on paper and it was not followed as I would have liked. For example, I asked that the dogs be taken out when Brittny returned from being out, but multiple times it would be at least an hour after she arrived that she would let them out. This wouldn't be a big deal, but both dogs are used to going out right away when I get home. Brittny did not stick to the schedule even after I gave a gentle reminder of what my dogs are used to. Both dogs developed stress diarrhea and there were accidents in the house, which never happens, and she left stains on my carpet. -I am leaving her 1 star because when I raised my concerns, Brittny was extremely defensive and honestly aggressive rather than trying to understand my concerns and being present for my dogs. I requested a 50% refund due to not sticking to the schedule, not being present for 2 nights and being present but not letting my dogs out for 10 hours one night, and for damages done to my belongings. Brittny refunded 1/3 of her expenses and was extremely rude. -If you hire her, I recommend that you have cameras to keep her honest if you are looking for someone to actually stay overnight with your pets. I don't recommend her if you have a puppy. I don't recommend her if your pet cannot go more than 10 hours without going outside. I also don't recommend her if your dogs are crated when left alone. Her services are extremely expensive for the actual work she puts in. This was a nightmare of a first experience with a stranger as a petsitter and with Rover as a service. I would have given 3 starts prior to bringing up my concerns to her. Her response to my concerns and lack of professionalism are what lead me to go to 1 star. I would not trust her with my pets again.
Brittany was wonderful! I came home to an orderly home and happy dog!
Brittany did a wonderful job! Felt so at ease with her and I have two dogs who can be tough. They did great with her. Will definitely use her again ,
Bottom line - Brittany was trustworthy in my home, warm and loving with my pet, communicative with me during my time away, flexible with a medical routine and reliable. I am so grateful to have found Brittny especially for this stay. My dog had surgery 2 days prior and Brittany competently and confidently administered medications and modified everything for the 2.5 days she was here. Walks had to be adjusted, raw food had to be given by hand, and activity had to be limited - Brittany did all that, gave love to my dog who was not himself and was respectful of my home. Thank you so much!!

Some furry friends have different needs, and I am more than happy to accommodate any and all needs from dietary, to senior or disabled care, to being crated or not. Each pet and family has their own rules for a reason, and I am respectful and determined to uphold those same rules for the animals while they are in my care in order to create consistency.
