“Sarah did a great job watching Sparky on an overnighter. She sent lots of pictures and Sparky was able to play with other dogs while he was there. After he got home, he ate his dinner and went right to sleep.”


“Rachel did an awesome job with my boys, Parker and Ranger. She had them for a week. She sent me updates and pictures everyday. Went above and beyond when they went on a food strike. We will definitely be returning customers! Thank you Rachel”


“Morgan was sooo easy to book with and made us feel so comfortable with leaving our puppy with her. She did an awesome job keeping us in the loop and even sent us a picture of our pup hanging out with hers. Highly recommend her !! 🤍”


“Rachel is always so great with our dog! He’s excited to see her when we drop him off. Rachel sends cute pictures and updates so we have peace of mind that our dog is taken care of while we’re away. I would highly recommend Rachel!”

About: 🐾✨ Welcome to Your Pet’s Second Home! ✨🐾 Hi there! I’m Bri — a stay-at-home mom, Navy spouse, and homeschooling parent. I’m home consistently throughout the day and have created a peaceful rhythm in our home that naturally extends to the animals I care for. I’ve set up a calm, dedicated space just for cats upstairs — no dogs, no stress, just a quiet retreat where your feline friend can relax, recharge, and feel safe. 🐈🌿 I’ve been caring for pets since I was 14, and it’s something that’s always come naturally to me. Over the years, I’ve worked with a wide range of animals, including pets belonging to military members during deployments, and have continued to provide consistent, compassionate care while raising my own dogs. As a full-time stay-at-home mom, I have the time and flexibility to offer personalized attention and a calm, dedicated space just for the animals in my care. Although I’ve been caring for animals my whole life and tending to my own beloved pets, I’m just getting back into pet sitting and newly active on Rover. I’m dedicating this season to offering intentional, loving care — and I’m also working toward expanding my knowledge of animal behavior and earning certifications where I can. 💕 My goal is simple: to offer peace of mind, reliable care, and a second home your pets feel safe returning to — all while supporting my community and doing something I genuinely love.🐈⬛❤️ Your cat’s comfort and routine truly matter to me. While I do step out now and then for errands or local outings, your pet will have a reliable, nurturing presence throughout their stay. I provide regular litter box cleaning, fresh water refills, daily check-ins, and enrichment time like play, brushing, or cozy companionship — whatever helps them feel safe and settled. 🐾🐈⬛🪟 ‼️ Note on Our Home There is a child under 12 in the house, and while he’s incredibly respectful of boundaries and animals, I completely understand if your pet prefers a low-stimulation environment or is not child-friendly. Just let me know — I’m happy to accommodate special needs or set up extra separation if needed. 🐶 A Quick Dog Disclaimer We do have two friendly dogs of our own, but they are never allowed in the cat care space and always remain fully separated to ensure peace of mind and a calm environment for your pet. 🐾 📅 Flexible & Understanding As a Navy family, I understand how fast plans can change. I’m happy to accommodate last-minute bookings if your plans fell through, extended stays, or deployment-related pet care. I genuinely want to help however I can and make things a little easier for you. 🐾📆 🐾 Doggy Daycare 🐾 I offer doggy daycare for all sizes with a focus on calm, low-stimulation care in a home-based setting. Daycare spots are limited so that every dog gets personalized attention, rest time, enrichment, and a peaceful environment throughout the day. Whether your pup needs a quiet place to nap or a companion for light play and check-ins, I’m here to help. 🚶♀️🐕 Dog Walking & Drop-Ins In addition to cat boarding, I offer drop-in visits and dog walking. Whether you’re working late or heading out of town, I can stop by to provide food, water, potty breaks, litter refreshes, and some comforting attention while you’re away. 🐾 Dog Boarding While I am primarily cat-focused, I do consider small-large dogs for boarding. I’ve found this size is easiest to accommodate alongside my own pups, and it allows me to maintain a peaceful space. ‼️Note: Since I only host a few dogs at a time, feel free to message me about availability. 📝 Health & Wellness Note Please let me know in advance if your pet has any medical conditions, sensitivities, or behavioral needs. I ask that all pets arrive healthy, flea-free, and in good condition for everyone’s safety and comfort. 💖🐾 🚫 A Quick Note on Intact Dogs To keep things safe and stress-free for everyone, I do ask that owners let me know if their dog is intact (not spayed or neutered). I don’t accept females in heat, and I may separate intact males depending on their energy and behavior. My own dogs are often kept in their own space, so I can usually accommodate with care—but clear communication upfront is key! 😊 While I may not have a long list of Rover reviews just yet, I bring years of hands-on experience and confidence in my ability to care for animals with consistency, patience, and intuition. I’m always happy to schedule a meet-and-greet so you can feel completely comfortable and at ease before booking. 🐾🐈✨ 🏡 How I Care for Pets in My Home & Yours 💬 Communication is everything! Whether you’re booking a drop-in visit or overnight stay, I always appreciate clear instructions—feel free to leave a written note, send a message through Rover, or both. The more I know about your pet’s routine, quirks, and preferences, the better I can show up for them. 💌🐾 🏡 In my home, I offer a peaceful, private space for cats with daily litter box cleaning, fresh water, quiet time, and enrichment like gentle play, brushing, or window-watching. I maintain a clean, calm environment that adapts to each pet’s needs—especially helpful for senior cats, shy personalities, or kitties on medication. 🚗 For drop-in visits, I stick to your pet’s routine as closely as possible. I handle feeding, water changes, litter or potty needs, and any medications or specific tasks. 📸 I always check in with photos and a little note about how your pet is doing to help you feel connected while you’re away. 🐶 Dog walks can be added to your drop-in visit for a small additional charge—just let me know what works best for your pup’s energy and needs. 🤝 Meet-and-greets are always welcome and encouraged for boarding, house sitting, or pets with specific care instructions. It gives us a chance to connect and helps your pet feel more comfortable. ⚠️ If your dog is reactive, needs space from strangers, or requires extra time and attention, please let me know upfront. I’m flexible and understanding—and happy to see if we’re a good fit with the right setup and support. Just let me know what matters most—I’m here to support both you and your fur baby with care that feels personal and reliable💚🐾

“Angela did an amazing job watching our Iggy for a few days while we were out of town. We loved and enjoyed all the pictures and videos she sent throughout the stay. Will 100% recommend and book again.”


“We loooooove Amy! And, our dog Chappy loves her and her dog, Lexi. Instant best buddies. We've already booked more time with her as Chappy's sitter.”


“Worked great with my dog! Had some very good suggestion and made some observations that I had thought about! 10/10! I would definitely recommend!”


“Thank you for treating Ronan like family! He seemed totally chill when I picked him up and I was so happy you made him feel like part of your dog family. Thanks so much!”


“Ashley helped us out on a very short term basis. She took really good care of our dog Dobby that suffers separation anxiety. We corresponded throughout the booking and it seems that Dobby got over the anxiety and played with the other doggies and humans. Dobby seemed to be in great spirits when I picked her up. We would trust our dog with Ashley anytime.”


“We felt so grateful and comfortable leaving our 110 lb “puppy” with Nicole and Cody!! Not everyone is comfortable with his very large and energetic puppy enthusiasm, but they handled him with loving understanding and firmness - which he needs. He had so much fun with all his new buddies - and came home happy and exhausted. Thank you!”


“Dana is great! She really cares about making your dog's stay the most pleasant experience. She will keep you updated and will even send you pictures of your pup while you're away. We really loved Dana and will use her again. We highly recommend her services.”


“Absolutely amazing, her communication was amazing and she was so friendly and understanding. She consistently sent me pictures and videos of my kitten which helped so much with my nerves about leaving him. I will forever recommend Katie as a pet sitter!”


“Thank you Amy and Brandon for being so amazing to my pup and overall just being great human beings I will recommend you to any and everyone I know!”


“Very easy process of meeting and booking with Sara. I could tell my dog, Baxter, loved the stay because he was pooped as soon as I brought him home. I don't need an overnight sitter very often, but will return again if so.”



“I could not have asked for a better experience! Christi provided me with the perfect amount of communication and sent me adorable photos and updates. I would 100% recommend her to anyone looking for a caring sitter for their fur baby and will definitely seek her out in the future!”


“Gus enjoyed his stay with Angela. We received pictures of Gus playing and lounging at Angela's while we were away. We were glad he had other dogs to hang out and play with. We would book Angela again.”


“Virginia took great care of our puppy while we were away. I highly recommend her. We felt great knowing that she was in a loving home with sweet people.”


“We are so glad we found Sheri! For years we took our dog to a kennel when we traveled. They took good care of him, but he always came home stressed. Now he comes home calm and happy. He loves going to Sheri's house for his own little vacation when we travel. She takes him for walks daily, he gets to be her shadow at home and he gets lots of healthy treats. What could be better?! ”


“Michael was fantastic. He has an amazing setup and I really appreciate how he invited me to his place for the meet and greet so I could see his setup and my dog could get acquainted before staying. He is very patient and looks after the needs of all dogs staying with him”
