About: Leash up! New clients welcome—let’s walk and wag! 🐾 Hi there! I’m Breanna—a lifelong animal lover raised on a farm, where caring for animals was second nature. I’m a nurse and now a stay-at-home mom who finds deep joy in looking after all kinds of pets and animals. When I’m with your dog, I don’t just walk or watch—I engage. I incorporate light training to reinforce good behavior, and I love taking candid, high-quality photos that my clients always rave about. The pictures are often their favorite part! Plus, I like to bring fresh carrots from my garden for treats and no matter what I make sure there is always fresh water in their bowl! With a flexible schedule, I’m able to offer reliable, attentive care tailored to your pet’s needs—whether that’s dogs, cats, birds, fish, or just about any animal needing love and support. Have a pet with special needs? I’ve got experience there too. I cared for our 6.5 yo Saint Bernard with severe medical needs for many years and I’m comfortable working with animals who require extra patience and understanding. Being a nurse has made me very attentive to animals needs! I know they’re your babies—because mine are too. They can’t tell us what they need, so it’s our job to show up with love, patience, and care they can feel. Can’t wait to hear from you! I have a very wide open schedule seven days a week to help care for your pet. Walking is such a necessity for my life and I find that this schedule fits perfectly into that! Here to help! 🤲🏼 We live on a third acre lot in town with a large wooden fence, dogs live inside, but enjoy the outdoors in the backyard. In order to stay at our home, I will be very particular to the dog because it is important for my dogs (Thunder & Murray.) I would love to establish a small cliental of individuals that are comfortable bringing the furbaby to our house for the consistency of everyone.
About: I have 5+ years of professional experience walking and caring for pets at a veterinary clinic and 12+ years of experience walking and caring for my dog, Chico. Medications are no problem!

I am usually available every day of the week at any time. However, I am busy on weekends for the next couple weeks. I walk, feed, medicate, and play with your pets to ensure your furry loved ones remain happy and comfortable in their homes while you are away.

Holly D.
“Holly took care of our three fur babies with the best of care! We called on Holly quite a few times over three years as we traveled fairly often. They went above and beyond with not only reliable and responsible care, but we also knew they love what they do and they loved our cats while we were away. And we could tell our cats appreciated them as well, as they usually hide from anyone else but us, but they did not for Holly! (With picture updates for proof haha!) Highest recommendation possible!”
Cassandra T.
“Cass recently took care of our cat while we were on a two week trip. She took excellent care of her and sent us frequent updates and pictures. She also noticed some behavior indicating arthritis that we are having checked out by our vet. I’m sure that is due to her experience working in a vet clinic. I would highly recommend her as a pet caretaker.”

Benjamin C.
“Ben is awesome!! He watched my dogs (and cat) for a weekend. Both of my dogs are rescues, and one can be a bit skiddish and scared. Ben was so great with her!!! He has a special gift with doggies and wasn’t intimidated or worried about my dogs. He sent picture updates. I also wrote out specific details for my dogs’ care, and he did awesome with that as well. My dogs have their routine, so it was great having someone watch them and take care of their needs. I’d recommend him.”
Jenna W.
“I am a little biased since Jenna is my daughter, but I can speak to her heart, how much she cares for animals and takes care of our own beloved fur baby. Jenna is a college junior at a small Christian college. She is punctual, dependable and extremely considerate. Jenna is very conscientious, great at communicating and will make sure your pets are well taken care of and their needs are met timely. When I have to be out of town, I know Jenna will take amazing care of our pup.”
Anthony B.
“I couldn't be happier with my experience using Rover! My sitter was incredibly kind, professional, and provided regular updates with pictures of my pup. I felt completely at ease knowing my dog was in great hands. When I returned, she was happy, well-cared for, and had clearly been treated like family. I highly recommend Rover to anyone looking for trustworthy and loving pet care!"”
John S.
“We had a great experience with John- he is reliable, caring, and communicative with us about our pet. He follows our instructions to the letter and makes sure to ask any questions that come up. We appreciated the fun and enthusiasm he brings, and we will definitely use him again! Highly recommend.”
