We aren't the easiest household to find a pet sitter for; we have a senior dog with social anxiety, a small grumpy parrot, and two ball pythons. Between the special needs of our dog and our exotics, we really needed to have someone be at our place nearly 24/7 for a pet sitting gig, and it was really hard to feel comfortable leaving for any extended amount of time. Despite these challenges, Brea really knocked it out the park! We left for about four days, and she stayed with our animals nearly the whole time, with a few breaks here or there to take care of her own critters. Medication for our senior pup was dispensed correctly, and we received daily pictures and updates of all of our animals. She also paid close attention to the emotional and physical state of everyone, and made sure we were aware of any changes (such as giving our dog pureed pumpkin if he seemed to have some stomach troubles, which we asked her to do). If we had any questions, she was very quick to respond and we were never left on read. Upon our return, the animals and house looked just as we left them. Outside of her very evident education in animal caretaking, and the obvious joy she gets from spending time with animals, I was particular struck by how professional and thorough she was about security. She walked us through all of her security measures, both to protect herself and our property while we were away. She clearly takes this aspect of the job very seriously. She also is well versed in cyber security. All around I felt very comfortable having her in our space and I would absolutely invite her back for this kind of thing again. I also want to mention that as a bird owner, Brea showed a great deal of knowledge and patience when dealing with my bird. He doesn't take to new people particularly well or quickly, and she was able to pick up on that and take it extremely slowly with him and left him mostly to his own devices, which we were all on the same page about. I still felt confident that she would be able to intervene if something was wrong with him, but she didn't push to make a connection with him too quickly which I really appreciate. I'm happy to say I give Brea at Bat Country Pet Sitting a full 5 out of 5 stars! Thank you so much Brea!

We've been clients of Bat Country Pet Sitting for quite awhile now, over the last few years. Both Briana and Ryan are reliable and professional, and we wouldn't trust our pets' care to anyone else while we are away! We have two senior cats that require special care, including subcutaneous fluids and medication administration. We've needed to call upon Bat Country Pet Sitting in emergency scenarios, and they have been there not only to take care of our pets, but also provide peace of mind that your home will be looked after as well. They are highly recommended and are our 'go-to' for all our pet sitting needs.

There could never be anybody better than Brea to sit for your pet. I have 4 elderly dogs and one sick one. They all require special diets, and maintenance meds as well as the sick ones needs extra special care, sometimes in the middle of the night. Brea just goes with the flow and is an Above and Beyond sitter and all around human. We love her, the babies love her and you can be sure you are in the best most capable loving hands when you hire Brea.

FAQs

What should the customer know about your pricing (e.g., discounts, fees)?
While I do have some standard prices for a few of our services, I normally create a custom quote for my clients, because I provide care for so many varieties of animals with basic to advanced needs, in so many different kinds of homes and locations. Please contact BatCo for a quote on services.
What is your typical process for working with a new customer?
Learning about your pets and their needs helps me to create an accurate and affordable quote and to document the care they need. First, we will have an intake call, allowing me to gather crucial info about your home, pets, and service needs. I will then send your quote and other info via email afterwards, based on our call. Then, we will schedule a free, 30-45 minute home visit, during which time I'll visit to meet you and your pets, get a tour from you around the home and property, go over important paperwork, get keys/entry codes to your home, and take care of payment for your first services (new clients pay for the first dates of service up front). I will verify your emergency contacts, establish what your communication preferences are during your time away (text or email), verify your emergency vet information and emergency treatment protocols, and ensure that we understand your pet's feeding and any medical treatment completely. I might use my mobile phone to take pictures of feed/water bowl placement (in a house with multiple pets), and other aspects of your animals' living and/or medical areas, so I can make sure to keep everything consistent for them (pictures help me to recall important details). Learning as much as possible about your pets is crucial, especially with senior or special needs pets. I want to provide the best care possible for your beloved critters. Thank you in advance for working with me to ensure that I have all I need to watch over you pets and home!
What education and/or training do you have that relates to your work?
Formal Vet Tech Education Argosy University, Twin Cities MN Selection of classes taken: Small Animal Medicine, Veterinary Diseases, Veterinary Lab Procedures, Animal Behavior, Clinical Veterinary Training, Comparative Anatomy, Emergency & Critical Care, Parasitology, Microbiology, Veterinary Pharmacology.
