Bracey Berard
Hi, I’m Bracey, a lifelong South Jersey girl and former corporate HR pro turned full-time dog walker, cat whisperer, and founder of Sniffari Strolls. After 25 years in the HR world and four back to back layoffs, I was exhausted, disillusioned, and heartbroken. I had given everything to companies that didn’t think twice about letting me go. What got me through wasn’t a fancy severance package or a new job. It was my dogs. They didn’t care what I did for a living. They just needed me to show up. So I did.
That’s when everything shifted. I stopped trying to fit into broken systems and started building something of my own. Sniffari Strolls wasn’t born out of a business plan. It was born out of survival, grief, and love. I wanted to offer pet care the way I always wished it could be done. No chaos. No shortcuts. Just calm, reliable, detail-oriented care from someone who actually gives a damn.
I run this business with a people over profit mindset because I’ve lived the other side of it and it broke me. I know what it’s like to feel disposable. That’s why I show up for pets and their people with integrity, compassion, and consistency. I don’t cut corners, I don’t overbook, and I don’t treat this like a side hustle. This is my full-time job and my life’s work.
When you book with Sniffari Strolls, you’re getting someone who sees your pets as family. I take that seriously. I document everything, communicate clearly, and treat your home and your animals with the respect they deserve. Because I know how much peace of mind that brings, especially when life gets messy.
If you’re looking for someone to love your pets like you do, I’m your girl.
Meet My Pack , “The P-Squad”
Pip is my 4 pound tan chihuahua, and he’s the supervisor of the bunch. He loves to bark (a lot) and prefers to spend his time basking in the sun or keeping an eye on everyone’s fun activities, making sure things run smoothly.
Pinot is my black & tan chihuahua mix, and I often call him my soulmate. He’s the head of security around here and takes his job seriously. His favorite thing in the world is playing ball, and his love language is all about kisses—lots of them.
And then there’s Poppy, my lavender chihuahua. She’s the baby of the group, full of mischief and energy. Her favorite hobby is chasing squirrels, and when she’s not doing that, she’s usually glued to my side, reminding me just how obsessed she is with me.

Pixie, my beloved Westie mix, crossed the rainbow bridge on March 7, 2025, at 3:44 PM EST. The undeniable brains of the operation, Pixie took charge during our walks, ensuring everyone stayed on track, and enforced a strict bedtime routine. Sharp as a tack and always one step ahead, she was a natural leader, guiding our pack with quiet authority and unwavering devotion. Her presence brought order, her love brought warmth, and her absence leaves an immeasurable void.
