About: Hi, I'm Brooke! I have approximately 10 years of animal caretaking experience including dogs, cats, and many other kinds of animals. I am comfortable with animals of all kinds, sizes, and ages, and am comfortable administering medication or other special care to our beloved friends as needed. Currently I'm a part-time work from home professional with a lot of time and space to take care of animals, meaning there is basically always someone home to keep an eye on your pets. My home has a friendly chocolate lab mix and a pug frenchie mix that would both love some play time with your pup. If your dog is a couch potato, that's cool too! I also have a large fenced backyard with doggy door access and ample indoor play space for those days where the weather isn't so kind. I'm located in the middle of a large network of neighborhoods and parks with a lot of easy access for walks. I am comfortable handling multiple dogs while on walks or having multiple animals hosted at my house.

Currently I'm a part time work from home professional with a lot of time and space to take care of animals meaning there is always someone home to keep an eye on your pets. Dogs are allowed to roam the house with us, and we do allow our dogs on furniture. I ensure supervised play time in our fenced in back yard, or in the downstairs area of our house, and frequent potty breaks. We have a doggy door for easy access, for the dogs that are comfortable using it. Dogs are closely supervised and typically not left alone at the house when boarding those I'm not super familiar with. I have plenty of space for you to bring your pet's kennel/carrier or bed of some kind if you'd like, and toys are welcome too! I do my best to ensure the dogs aren't stealing each other's toys. Unfortunately we can't host cats at our house. However, I am happy to provide cat care in the comfort of your home! I follow care guidelines given carefully and to the best of my ability. I will always communicate any questions or concerns that arise before and during care.
