Brittany Carney (Owner & Operator)
Brittany has been in the pet sitting business for 10+ years. She began by working for one of the largest pet sitting companies in Portland before splitting off and starting one with a business partner, while also working front desk in a veterinary office. Working at the vet gave her a better sense of not only pet health needs, but client needs. When her previous business partner moved, she had the pleasure of taking over the company and the opportunity to make it her own, hence the birth of Sitting Pretty. While she had to quit working for the vet for this full time commitment, she is thrilled to bring what she’s learned to this company to make it the best it can be!
Brittany has two fur babies of her own- her cats Bentley & Beyonce. In her spare time, she likes to run, golf, catch a comedy show and travel.
