Dog enthusiast needs beer $$$$$
Pet care experience
My love for dogs runs deep, so deep that when my fiancee and I decided to adopt a dog in college, I even created a blog about it called Doggies & Degrees! I'm a writer (aka unemployed) who hates free time and prefers to fill it playing with pups (if the blog doesn't tell you that already). With no set work schedule, Rover is the perfect set-up for me: I'm available last minute, all hours of the day! I'm in it for the puppy-snugs as much as the money, so don't be surprised if I send way too many pictures of our time together and write novel length updates about how much fun we're having. I grew up with dogs and am comfortable with any size, gender, temperament, age- you name it. I live in an apartment in the Edmonds area, and make up for the size of my small home by taking my own pup to the doggy beach or a nearby field every day. We'd love to have your bff tag along, as long as they're well-behaved and will get back on-leash when that time comes. If you'd like us to go to a specific location or for a specific amount of time, even better- we love exploring new places! There's also no obligation at all for my dog to come along, she's well trained and has another mommy to take care of her. So, whether you're looking for a doggy play-date or for me to come spend 1 on 1 time with your pup, I can promise to be attentive and enthusiastic! What's more, you'll help a struggling writer beat the Seattle freeze by hanging out with your fur-baby (because, as it turns out, employers are even harder to find out here than friends). Cheers!
Reviews
Brooke was great on every level of pet care and communication. Would recommend and use again in the future!
Fantastic! I could not have left my boy in better hands during a 6 day emergency trip. Brooke gave him lots of love and attention and he seemed very comfortable and happy in all the updates and when I came home! Her dog Sandi is also a sweetheart and got along with Clark as well. 10/10 I would definitely book with her again.
Brooke was great! I needed to teach her a special leash handling technique for managing my easily over-stimulated pup, and she picked it up very quickly. After just a few minutes of demonstration, she was walking my pup and easily handling all those exciting interactions that are part of trail walking -- runners, bikers, small children, etc. -- that can often send my pup into hyper mode. Brooke is both conscientious and kind, and punctual as well. Since I am a very protective dog mom, it means a lot to say I feel good about having her walk and dogsit my pup.
Brooke provides a safe, fun and engaging environment for dogs. She has warm, friendly and calm personality and dogs love her! My dog comes back happy and tired, the best combination! Her own dog is actually a bonus as she gets along great with other dogs. Mine loves Sandi!

Unfortunately, I can only board small breed dogs, because in my small apartment, rowdy playing quickly becomes destructive and my dog, Sandi, doesn’t know when to stop. Also, Sandi is a ~proper lady~ and does not respond well to humping, or "puppy hugs" as a 7 year-old recently referred to it at the dog park. If this is a common issue with your pup, give me a heads up!
A typical day
I have yet to meet a dog that loves to run as much as my Sandi girl. We like to go to off-leash ares so she can continue the search, though. If you think your dog could beat her in a foot race you are ON!
