Availability

I am an on-call Emergency nurse I make my own schedule. I don’t work for anyone but you when I watch your family member(s) I! am flexible with availability, I love animals and offer free grooming in your home for any candidates as well as wound care, med management, and oh yea ALL THE CUDDLES. I can get them to appointments if needed, as a first responder and nurse of 14 years I am very adept at recognizing any signs of distress, distrust, or pain. I have been able to safely manage situations that so quickly could have went bad by recognizing slight stance variation, a quick glance or change in affect on your baby. Typically if someone is noticeably obnoxious (or a kid with no training comes and puts its sticky hand in front of your babes face randomly while on a walk…I would expect nothing less and therefore am prepared. Hey we can’t all get along all the time right?

Safety, trust & environment

For extended care with any animals that have separation anxiety or disabilities I prefer to care for animals in their home environment. Humans usually prefer this way and animals do as well, it limits anxieties and unknown. There’s at least familiarity and their own controlled routine. I do not mind doing doggy daycare or boarding a Young rambunctious pup that may not be bonded to an environment yet But typically they are so much more comfortable in their home, and you have peace of mind when you are away that not only your babies are being watched, but your property as well. As a basic care provider as well as certifications and years of being an emergency responder, safety is first. First and foremost. That applies to living beings first as well as home and surroundings. Knowing the correct commands and the rules that kids like to break when parents are away is always important and helps Foster trust and confidence between myself and your pets. Just as children crave structure and routine animals are no different! And if I’m being honest, sometimes easier.

Information Brooke B. would like to know about your pet

Basic commands and feeding/treat preference House rules as far as furniture or begging/barking scratching Special needs/MEDICATION! -I emphasize this because many people do not have a long history of medication knowledge the difference between weight and dosage and how it often looks very opposite, many people will forgo their pets medication for the few days. They are gone in fear of the dog sitter, making a mistake. That is completely their decision, but I do go over it even if it’s not mentioned just to offer confidence and support after all, we want to keep them happy and healthy forever! Any training you are currently working on Basic potty schedule all typed and left on the main counter or table is preferable with any emergency numbers codes passwords I will need on top.

A typical day

A typical day revolves around the health and energy of each individual animal. There are 200 pound apartment couch dogs and 10 pound 5 mile run dogs if it’s blazing hot or freezing cold I have no problem hanging out cuddling watching TV playing maybe trying to learn new tricks or just getting one on one super butt scratch time!

Pet care experience

I DO NOT JUST DROP IN For extended stay house sitting I will adjust my service radius. I know a lot of people do this for extra income, I am a nurse and that is the job I do when I need to for extra income. I’m very passionate about the right of an owner feeling confident and not occupied wondering if someone is there. I don’t leave animals alone at night unless you specifically say so. I have a lot of experience with geriatric animals as well as anxious, barky dogs, cats with mental issues, chickens, exotic animals; reptiles such as large snakes and lizards, spiders, 🕷️ little furry friends, hedgehogs, fish, toucans, macaws, parrots, small birds and ferrets to name a few. I was 6 when I started my first job! It was banging on your door and (without any introductions) yelling excitedly.. “DO YOU HAVE A DOG HOW MANY? ARE YOU CAT PEOPLE!? IS IT NICE ? CAN I WALK IT ? WHATS ITS NAME ? CAN I GIVE IT TREATS ? PEOPLE FOOD ? And yes that was ALL one sentence no response necessary as I welcomed myself further into your house to look for said dog…cat or leash and your cookie jar which led me to my next question; “do you have any cookies or cakes I can have?” .🤦🏻‍♀️ Luckily I was just cute and outgoing enough to be welcomed over to play with the pets and tire them out for you! One day you would find me in your (locked or out of reach handle) SIX FOO TALL FENCED INI yard with your dogs or waiting for you to open the door I WAS OBSESSED 😬 eventually when you saw my strong bond and trust with your fur-balls you thought might not like kids…..I WAS IN!! Official dog walker with a new addition to my schedule. Which admittedly did lead to neighborhood search parties for your dog, thinking it ran away from the little girl two young to take care of it! (sorry Fur parents) they were actually sitting with me in my bedroom on my bed/refrigerator box made in to my dog fort (eating approved treats only!!) at my lame goldfish tank petless house. Just 7 wild sisters I couldn’t even trade for one dog!? Come on DAD! Anyways it’s a passion and a hobby, I have trained puppies have several weeks old to sit shake and lay down within a short period of time, I took my Aunt’s dogs always to doggy daycare and as an adult my past babies to fully owner trained facilities, I am a nurse of 14 years so I have all the BLS credentials as well as ACLS medical training, medication knowledge and after so many 20+ year old cats and dogs (my aunt really kept them happy!!) i’ve given just about every injection topical oral anal glandular ointment insulin you anti parasitic viral fungal and nasal! Yea nasal medication there is. At times living with my aunt who always had at least two dogs….and 5 cats…and a squirrel maybe some fish or my secret pet rat she knew nothing about (and was an actual wild rat I befriended) god I hope she doesn’t read this…now at 33 I am comfortable with “very pet friendly” houses, clutter or hoarding does not bother me as I grew up in many different homes and usually had multiple animals ranging from fish, Burmese pythons birds mice dragons, lizards, sometimes ending up, not being able to feed a certain animal to another animal that end up with rodents that I purchased as food and now purchase food to feed… It gets complicated smell does not bother me and I have no allergies, I have no pets myself, but I’m sure I will as my daughter gets older. My daughter who was obviously switched at birth because she does not enjoy dogs or most animals for that matter 🤔if she didn’t look like me, I would swear they made a mistake!!

Brooke did an excellent job watching our two dogs. During our time away, she even helped take care of our yard!

Brooke and her family were amazing with my dog, Ursa! We needed a dog sitter at short notice for a sick puppy. Brooke was amazing to work with - she provided great communication, took amazing care of Ursa, and definitely was flexible and accommodating under less than ideal circumstances. I was confident Ursa was being loved and treated like a member of the family!

Brooke was AMAZING!!! Not only did they help us out with our last minute trip, she took great care of our babies. Her communication was perfect. She made all of them as comfortable as possible and made sure they had plenty of love 🤍 she’s so passionate in what she does and I couldn’t have picked a better sitter!

Brooke was fabulous! I will definitely will work with her again. She took care of my pup like her own. She combed him and took him on a nice walk! My dog loves spending time with her and he got plenty of enrichment. Brooke was also such a great communicator. Such a pleasure to work with, looking forward to hiring her again.
