About: I’ve cared for animals my whole life—dogs, cats, chickens, even baby cows—raising them with love, responsibility, patience, compassion, kindness and experience from a young age. I do work during the week at Blaine Vet. Monday, Tuesday, Thursday, Friday. I will go home to check on the fur babies during lunch. I have pets of my own, but they will be kept separate from yours unless they are well-acquainted and get along comfortably. My home features a fully fenced backyard where your pet can safely play and take bathroom breaks. I welcome pets on the furniture, so your furry companion is free to relax and feel at home. I treat every pet in my care with the same love and attention as my own. Additionally, I live in a walkable community, perfect for giving your pet regular walks and outdoor time.

“Brooke did a wonderful job of taking care of my 2 Aussie's while gone! She arrived at the same time daily and sent pictures to keep me updated! I felt very confident in using her and fully intend to use her again in the future!”

Shannon W.
“We’ve had the pleasure of knowing Shannon for nearly two years now, and she has been our dependable and trustworthy pet sitter throughout that time. Her genuine love for animals is evident in the way she cares for ours—as if they were her own. Unlike other sitters we’ve had in the past who would simply stop by to feed them and leave, Shannon goes above and beyond by spending quality time with them, ensuring they feel loved and comfortable in our absence. Our pets are like family to us, and leaving them behind used to be a major source of stress whenever we traveled. Thanks to Shannon, that stress is completely gone. We can relax knowing they’re in caring and capable hands. We wholeheartedly recommend Shannon to anyone looking for someone who will truly care for their animals.”
