Highlights
Pet care experience
Shelter Volunteer & Dog Lover
Growing up, my family always had dogs, and today animals continue to be an important part of my life. I'm a board member of a local humane society and volunteer weekly at the shelter. I also help with low-cost spay/neuter clinics, where I've worked with dogs of many ages, sizes, personalities, and comfort levels. I know every dog is different. Some want long walks and lots of playtime. Others prefer a slower pace and plenty of affection. I take the time to learn your dog's routine, personality, and needs so they can feel comfortable and secure while you're away. Friends and colleagues describe me as dependable and patient. I pay close attention to details, communicate clearly, and genuinely enjoy spending time with animals. Whether your dog needs exercise, companionship or simply a familiar routine, I'll care for them as if they were my own. My goal is simple: for your dog to feel safe, happy, and loved, and for you to have complete peace of mind while you're away.

Qualifications
Safety, trust & environment
I'm happy to provide overnight house sitting in your home. Many pets are most comfortable staying in their familiar surroundings, keeping their normal routines, and receiving one-on-one attention in a place they know and trust. When caring for your pets, I'll follow your instructions closely, including feeding schedules, walks, medications, litter box cleaning, playtime, and any other routines that are important to your household. I'll also send regular updates and photos so you can stay connected and know how your pets are doing while you're away. I understand that hiring a house sitter means trusting someone with both your pets and your home. I take that responsibility seriously. I'll treat your home with care and respect, keep things tidy, and leave everything as I found it so you can return home to happy pets and peace of mind.
Ratings and reviews
I cannot recommend Brooke highly enough! She cared for my cats for a full week while I was out of town, and the peace of mind she gave me was absolutely priceless. I’m very protective of my pets and don’t trust just anyone with them, so finding someone I felt completely comfortable with mattered a lot. From the start, Brooke was warm, friendly, responsive, and incredibly easy to communicate with. She made the entire process seamless and reassuring. What really stood out was how genuinely caring and attentive she was. She didn’t just stop by to complete the basics—she clearly took the time to make sure each of my cats felt comfortable, cared for, and loved. With multiple cats, each with their own personalities and quirks, that meant a lot to me. Because of Brooke, I was able to fully enjoy my trip without the usual stress or guilt of being away. I came home to happy, relaxed, well-cared-for pets, and that says everything. If you’re looking for someone who is trustworthy, dependable, compassionate, and truly wonderful with animals, Brooke is an easy choice
Brooke is a reliable and responsible lover of animals. She is a trustworthy person that will make your pet’s safety and happiness her priority. She’s knowledgable in animal training, has had her own pets through life and has the common sense to prevent potential problems before they can happen. My pets are my family and I trust her with them completely, knowing she will not only take care of them, but also respect and love them at any stage of life they are in.
Brooke is an amazing pet caregiver. Not only is she incredibly loving and passionate about animals but she has the experience to know exactly what each individual pet needs from her. Her work with the Humane Society has helped so many deserving animals grow and come out of their shells to get adopted. Her calm and confident attitude around animals makes it easy for even the shyest animals to warm up to her quickly.
Brooke is an animal lover who has enjoyed her own pets throughout her lifetime. She is a volunteer and board member for Safe Haven, the Jo Daviess County Humane Society in Illinois. She has a great deal of customer service experience serving as a university administrator for 18 years. Brooke is emotionally intelligent, kind and caring. She will provide trustworthy and loving care for her clients pets.
Brooke has always been a stellar guardian of our pets every time she's watched them. They are particular cats and warmed up to Brooke very quickly. My wife and I look forward to her updates and pictures when we're traveling. There's nothing better than knowing everything at home is taken care of while you're gone. We will forever hire Brooke for her services. She is responsible, dedicated, and simply the best.
I have two extra needs, elderly cats that require five different prescriptions a day and a prescribed diet resulting in the need to feed them a little at a time, separately, about six times a day. The first time Brooke watched them was for a week straight and I know that they were cuddled, loved, feed, and healthy the entire time not only due to her pictures, but also with her check ins to just let me know how they were doing. I was actually able to enjoy my first vacation in over five years knowing that my fur babies at home were as good as if I was there. I've already started planning more trips knowing I finally have someone I have the utmost confidence in to take care of the two things that matter most to me in the world, my fur babies.

Schedule
Pet care fits naturally into my weekly routine. I work as an entrepreneur and consultant, which gives me flexibility to schedule visits, walks, feedings, and check-ins throughout the day. Because I manage my own schedule, I'm often able to accommodate pets who need consistent care, medication reminders, multiple daily visits, or extra attention while their families are away. I intentionally limit my commitments so I can provide dependable, personalized care rather than rushing between appointments. When I accept a booking, I make your pet's wellbeing a priority.
