Former dog handler, current student

Pet care experience

I’m currently a nursing student and I’d love to walk or sit your dogs and/or cats! I’m a responsible 43-year old female with no pets of my own. I grew up in Maryland with five dogs (a Doberman, German Shepherd, black lab, West Highland Terrier & Schnauzer) and three cats. Later I moved out west and spent two years working as a dog handler at Pooches Playtime (doggie daycare) in San Francisco, California. I’ve also spent two weeks volunteering with cats and dogs at Best Friends Animal Sanctuary in Kanab, Utah.

Brooke was very patient and kind with our cat, who is a very shy and sensitive guy. We definitely recommend her!

Brooke was so sweet and helpful! She took great care of my kitty and was great at communicating with me about how he was doing. I would certainly hire her again!

Brooke was great with our kitties! They loved her and we felt good that someone was looking in on them.

Safety, trust & environment

Each pet's individual needs and safety is my priority. I'm experienced in working with senior pets, nervous and scared pets, and high energy dogs. I also have much experience administering medications and preparing special meals. I’d also like to note that I’ve been thoroughly background checked and drug tested for the past nine years. This was a requirement for my former job (I worked for the federal government) & a current requirement for nursing school. I don't drink alcohol, smoke, or do any type of drugs.

Information Brooke A. would like to know about your pet

I'm interested in knowing the age of your pet and any special needs he or she may have. If there are favorite walks or toys please let me know as well :)

A typical day

I love going on long walks with dogs and playing fetch and tug of war. For quieter pets I enjoy simply being present and making them feel as comfortable as possible. I'm happy to help train and enforce positive behaviors in your pet.
