Experienced, Caring & CPR-Certified—Ready to Support Your Family with Love and Skill

Hey there, awesome families! 🎉 I’m Brielle—your go-to babysitter, pet whisperer, and all-around helper with a heart full of energy and a backpack full of skills. With 10+ years of childcare experience and 2 years of pet care under my belt, I’ve wrangled toddlers, soothed sleepy babies, helped with homework, and even danced with dogs (true story). I’m CPR-certified, first-aid trained, and always ready for last-minute adventures—whether it’s a wedding gig, a weekend getaway, or just a night off for you. I bring the fun, the care, and the calm—so you can relax knowing your little ones (and furry ones!) are in great hands.

Top 10 Tips For Hiring A Dog Walker

Follow these handy tips for hiring a dog walker so you know your pup is in safe, reliable hands.

1. Check experience

Look for walkers who have worked with dogs of similar size, breed, and temperament.

2. Verify credentials

Ask about pet first aid/CPR certification and whether they’re insured and bonded.

3. Request references

Speak to past or current clients for honest feedback.

4. Meet in person

Arrange a meet-and-greet to see how your dog responds to them.

5. Discuss routines

Ensure they can stick to your dog’s feeding, walking, and medication schedule.

6. Ask about group walks

Clarify whether they walk multiple dogs at once or provide solo walks.

7. Check reliability

Confirm their backup plan in case they’re sick or unavailable.

8. Look for communication

Choose someone who provides updates, photos, or reports after walks.

9. Test with a trial walk

Start with a short session to assess how your dog and the walker get along.

10. Clarify policies

Go over payment, cancellations, keys/access to your home, and emergency procedures.
