As of August 2022, Rover (Brooklyn Bark) is my full time job! This means the pups get my full attention, lap and hands! There is no need to bring anything other than food to Brooklyn Bark! We have bowls, treats, leashes, harnesses and kennels (if needed). We take 4+ dogs at a time. So your dog(s) will be with other dogs. It is important they get along with other dogs. They will get lots of play time as well as cuddle time with me and my daughter. I am not able to accept any unfixed pets. I have had my own dogs for 20+ years. I signed up with Rover.com when we moved to Brooklyn Park in January 2019, after my divorce, and I have been loving it ever since! We get to meet and care for a variety of dogs and help owners know their dogs are in good hands while they are away. My teenage daughter is very responsible and helps love and care for our dogs. She's been around dogs her entire life. We adopted our dog, Oreo on March 20th, 2020. She is pretty laid back and calm. She's a little nuts when she first meets a dog (not aggressive, just barky). But she quickly warms up and calms down. Luna was abandoned with us. Her previous owner stopped responding October 16th of 2022, after we watched her for a month and a half. She is very sweet, playful and hilarious. She absolutely loves playing with other dogs and then she'll curl up with them to nap. We also have two cats. We got them both from friends who's cats had kittens in September 2020. They typically stay downstairs, but come up through the cat door if they feel comfortable with the dogs that are here. Their instincts are amazing. The dogs aren't allowed downstairs, so the cats have their own space. We treat all dogs as if they were our own and love them that way too. We would love to take care of your dog while you are away!
