About: I’m a former vet assistant with over 5 years of experience. I have experience in senior pet care, administering medications, as well as general animal care.

Making sure your dog is comfortable with me, I pick up on all dog behaviors. I make sure they receive my undivided attention, and tend to anything they need.

Brinkley Y.
“I honestly can’t say enough good things about Brinkley! They took care of my dog, Goose, like they were their own. From the moment they met, I could tell my pet felt safe and happy with them—which made me feel so much more relaxed while I was away. Brinkley kept me in the loop with sweet updates and photos, and it was clear how much attention and love they gave. It’s such a relief to know there’s someone I can completely trust with my furry family member. I’d recommend them in a heartbeat”
Rachel G.
“We asked Rachel to watch our large dog for a week. Let me tell you it was such a relief to have someone we trust watch our pet. Rachel has extensive knowledge of animal care from her previous jobs in veterinary clinics. She was always sending photos and check ins while we were away. Whenever we plan a new trip my first step is to always contact Rachel first thing because I want my pet to have the best care.”
