About: I am currently an assistant at a vet clinic in Lodi WI and am a full time student studying veterinary technology. I take pride in ensuring every pet parent feels comfortable leaving their fur babies behind. I promise to care for them like my own :) I am a full time student and work part time on my days off. I typically am at school for 5-8 hours a day and at work for 8 hours a day. Outside of work and school I intend to spend the rest of my time playing and comforting your pet while you are away. I always make sure my clients are aware of my schedule during the time I am at their home. I also like to keep animals on their typical schedule. Sometimes this proves to be challenging but I will always be willing to work with owners. I understand leaving behind a pet is hard and I struggle with it myself, this is why I always send photos of our adventures to give the owners some peace of mind while they are away. I am always available through text and will do whatever I can to make you comfortable.
About: Growing up, I cared for and showed horses for 10 years. We also had two dogs of our own. As an adult, I have cared for two dogs, one of which I trained from puppy on. I am obsessed with dogs. Their personalities, their commitment, their unwavering compassion. And I would be honored to love on yours! I am at work only a few days a week, leaving many days that I’m available! My “real” work schedule is sporadic, so be sure to check my availability calendar for updates. My goal is to keep your pet safe, and as comfortable as possible. I am comfortable using many tools, such as flat collar, slip leash, prong collar, harness, or E collar.

I would recommendemily to anyone who is in search of a good pet sitter, and we will definitely be using her again!!!”

“Brittni is a loving pet caregiver. From the minute I sought her service I could see in her expression the excitement and love she would give my puppy. I knew from social media she was the right person for the job as she is constantly out enjoying life and teaching her own dog Ellie Mae! I had a 4 hour meeting so with driving time Brittni had my puppy for about 5 hours and I could tell Charlie got plenty of exercise and attention during that time as he pretty much wanted to sleep the rest of the day away! I will definitely be a repeat customer for Brittni!”
