About

A little about me.A lot about the creatures.

Bryanna, founder of Good Vibes & Whiskers

Hi, I'm Bryanna

Positive-reinforcement pet sitter

Animals have always been at the heart of my life. My journey into the pet world began through my day job, where I work with a company dedicated to supporting positive-reinforcement (R+) pet professionals.

Through that work, I've learned from experienced trainers and behavior consultants, and it's shaped how I approach every animal I meet.

My philosophy is simple: I will never use force, fear, intimidation, or pain. Every animal deserves to be treated with patience, compassion, and respect. I believe trust is something we earn — not something we demand.

My late dog, Alfie, was one of my greatest teachers. He battled a serious autoimmune disease (ITP), and caring for him taught me how to confidently administer medications, recognize subtle changes in health and behavior, and stay calm through medical challenges.

More than anything, it gave me a deep appreciation for the trust it takes to leave a beloved companion in someone else's care.

I've also shared my life with reactive dogs, which taught me that every animal has different comfort levels, communication styles, and needs.

For the Shy & Spicy Cats

Cats have completely stolen my heart! I fostered and raised my own cats from just six weeks old, navigating everything from URI, ringworm, and traumatic injuries to picky eating, medication time, and the everyday chaos that comes with curious kittens. Every challenge has taught me patience, careful observation, and how to earn a cat's trust on their terms.

Whether your cat is playful, shy, spicy, or a professional napper, I'll care for them with the same compassion, respect, and positive, fear-free approach I use with my own.

At home, I'm now happily ruled by cats, who remind me every day that animals are individuals with their own personalities, preferences, and boundaries.

Every animal, met exactly where they are.

In your home

Safety, trust & environment

Keeping routines normal, boundaries respected, and your home cared for.

When I'm caring for your pet in your home, my goal is to keep their routine feeling as normal as possible. I'll follow your care instructions closely — from meals and medications to playtime, enrichment, litter box care, or simply spending quiet time together if that's what your companion prefers.

I believe every pet is an individual, so I let them set the pace. Whether they're outgoing and ready to play or prefer to observe me from across the room for a while, I'll respect their boundaries and earn their trust through patience and positive interactions.

You'll receive regular updates with photos and notes so you always know how your pet is doing. If I notice anything out of the ordinary, I'll let you know right away. My goal is for you to enjoy your time away knowing your pet is safe, comfortable, and cared for as if they were my own.

I'll also treat your home with the same respect I would expect for mine — keeping things clean, secure, and exactly as you left them.

What I believe

How I approach every animal.

Four ideas that shape every visit, every walk, and every hello — for dogs, cats, puppies, kittens, and companions of every kind.

Choice over coercion

Animals deserve the opportunity to feel safe and make choices whenever possible.

Connection over compliance

A relationship built on trust is more valuable than simply getting an animal to do what we want.

Individual care, not cookie-cutter

Every animal is different. Their care should reflect that.

Kindness without compromise

Force, fear, intimidation, and pain have no place in my approach to pet care.

"Because good care isn't about changing who an animal is. It's about understanding who they are."

“Bryanna cares for any animal as if they are her own fur baby. I've spent a lot of time around her and animals, and I've seen how caring her interactions are with them. She is patient and loving while keeping them safe and happy. I no longer live close to Bryanna, but if I did, she would be my go-to pet sitter. Finding someone you can trust with your baby is hard, and I wouldn't hesitate to trust her with any of mine.”
