Pet care experience

Hi, I'm Brooke! I’m currently a full time sitter and student! I’ve worked as an Aquatics Specialist at Petco and am currently studying at USF towards becoming a Zoologist. I have a cat at home but I was raised with dogs my whole life. Animals are a huge part of my life and I have experience with a variety of them including dogs (both big and small), cats, fish, reptiles, and small mammals. Working in pet retail especially made me realize that I wanted to be able to get closer with animals one on one and be able to better interact with them, which is why I decided to pursue petsitting full-time. Interacting with each pet is very exciting and special to me, and I really value being able to get to know every one that I sit for. I have over three years of petsitting experience including sitting, drop ins, and dog walking. I can take on last minute sitting requests if I am available. I am more than happy to provide extra reassurances for pet parents that have never used a petsitting service or have worries about leaving their pet behind while they go on a trip. No worry or question is silly, and I can send videos, facetimes, and as many photos as needed. I highly recommend a meet and greet so that we can meet and I can go over everything with you and ease your fears. :-) Thanks for checking out my profile! I would love to take good care of your pet! Feel free to message me with any questions or inquiries! **While I try my best to be as close to the Rover times as possible, I do ask for a 30 minute flexibility period after the listed time just to account for traffic or any unpredictable event. I normally am within 15 minutes of the listed time. If you need visits at an exact time, please just let me know and I will make sure I can accommodate it. **

Information Brooke D. would like to know about your pet

I go over these at each meet and greet to get a better understanding of each dog. I usually ask: • Does your dog ever show any signs of aggression? (Such as guarding a toy, treat, or food) • Does your dog have any allergies of any kind? • Is your dog usually shy or more outgoing? • Does your dog have any special needs of any kind? • Do all of your animals get along? •Is there anything else I should know to make sure your dog is happy and comfortable?

A typical day

I love getting to know every dog that I care for and enjoy spending time playing and giving them love. Usually I’ll just walk a dog around their pet parent’s neighborhood while sitting but after I feel like I’ve gotten to know a dog I also love bringing them to dog parks with the pet parents permission.
