If the name sounds familiar, there’s a good chance you’ve crossed paths with BreAnna around town—maybe at Wawa in Durbin Pavilion or while she was zipping between homes caring for her four-legged clients. Before launching her thriving pet care business, BreAnna earned her Master’s Degree in Social Work with the dream of working in international adoption. She later worked in both the St. Johns and Duval County school districts, but her lifelong bond with animals kept calling her back.

Growing up on a Maryland property filled with farm animals, small mammals, dogs, cats, and even reptiles, caring for creatures big and small has always been second nature. When she moved to Florida in 2016, she found an overwhelming need for pet care—and the opportunity to turn her “side hustle” into her calling.

BreAnna officially began pet sitting in 2012, but Florida transformed her mission. “The need here is huge,” she shares, “and my heart for easing anxiety - for both pets and pet parents - is what pushed me to take this full time. Her mission is simple and powerful:Provide peace of mind through truly attentive, anxiety-reducing care, so pets feel safe and loved - and their humans can actually relax while they’re away. She calls it The Very Important Pet Treatment, and it’s the standard she brings to every home she steps into. From the energetic to the elderly, from the anxious to the easygoing - BreAnna tailors her approach so each animal feels seen, heard, and truly understood.

Blending her social work background with her love of animals, BreAnna specializes in caring for high-anxiety pets and equally anxious pet parents. She is a Certified Professional Pet Sitter, fully insured and bonded, and committed to going above and beyond - whether it’s staying overnight, managing routines with precision, or sending frequent, reassuring updates. Her focus on emotional well-being shines through in every visit.“I want pet parents to be productive at work or enjoy their vacations without a single worry,” she says. “Your pet is family - and that’s exactly how I treat them.”

BreAnna loves connecting families with trusted local recommendations for training, health, and safety. As her business continues to grow, she hopes to begin partnering with local shelters as a volunteer and community resource.

One of her biggest business milestones came from a brave decision: narrowing her focus.

By specializing in high-anxiety pets, she has been able to create deeper connections, see transformative behavioral improvements, and build strong referral relationships with clients who value her unique approach.

And exciting news she was featured on the cover of Pet Sitter’s World Magazine this past Fall/Winter!

Though she doesn’t currently have her own pet, her family has a pack of five beloved dogs: four French Bulldogs and a Boxer mix - so yes, she gets her daily fix of snorts, wiggles, and wiggle-butts!
