Personal Overnight Pet Care
Small scale, one-on-one care for pets who are happiest staying home.
Bryana Lee Walters
I have over 20 years of experience working with animals in a variety of settings.
I began my career as a Certified Veterinary Assistant (CVA) in 2004 and built a strong foundation in animal health and medical care.
My certifications include Certified Professional Dog Trainer – Knowledge Assessed (CPDT-KA) and Fear Free Certified Professional (FFCP). I also have a certificate in Applied Animal Behavior from the University of Washington (UW-AAB) and have continued specialized training in forensic behavior, especially in regard to legal cases, under my college professor Dr. James Ha, CAAB.
My work has included years in the sheltering field, where I developed and managed a behavior program, conducted intake assessments, created individualized training plans, and supported adopters in transitioning animals into new homes. In addition to my professional roles, I have been a long-term volunteer in animal rescue, providing behavior support, enrichment, and training to improve the welfare and adoptability of dogs and cats.
For 14 years, I worked as a private behavior consultant, providing individual sessions for dogs and cats with a wide range of needs including- aggression, separation anxiety, reactivity, fear, anxiety, scent work and search training, cooperative grooming, basic behaviors, enrichment and games, puppy development, and feline behavior concerns.
My career combines medical knowledge, applied behavior science, and extensive hands-on experience with companion animals in shelter and home environments.
I bring compassionate, individualized care to every pet. I focus on providing personalized, small-scale pet care so pets can stay happy and comfortable at home.

Testimonials
♥️
Bryana has been amazing with our crew! We have 2 special needs dogs and the care routine is pretty demanding. We never worry when Bryanna is staying with our furbabies.
-Ashley Ganser
Bryana is a very competent, responsible, and trustworthy pet sitter. We have three large breed dogs that are very high-maintenance, and they require someone that is confident in their abilities to handle all their shenanigans. Bryana seems to do this with ease. Her communication skills are excellent as she always sends photos and updates when we are away. The best part is that our dogs love her! Bryana is definitely "our girl"!
-Erin Nausieda
Bryana has been life changing for our family. We got a Great Pyrenees who ended up having very bad behavioral issues which turned into a reactive biting. We felt trapped at home not sure who we could trust to leave him with or who would want to deal with a 100 pound dog that bites. We were recommended Bryana. From our first meeting we felt extremely confident in Bryana’s pet sitting abilities and dog behavioral knowledge. She knew exactly how to approach our dog and reassured us that everything would be ok. It’s been 3 years now and our GP now is obsessed with her. Bryana is amazing! Her level of training and skills is next level. We also have two other dogs, two cats, 1 bunny and 15 chickens. Bryana does it all! And all the animals love her and are happy to see her car pulling in.
If you have a dog that has behavioral issues Bryana is the only person I would recommend!!
