Therapy Quality Play & Care
I grew up with poodles and have my own ready to serve as your pet's newest friend and source of entertainment in her off-duty time. I can be trusted to follow care guidelines (brief or extensive) while providing a safe yet fun time. **My weekends are closed by default and opened by request or 0-1 weeks in advance**. Priority will be given to repeat clients. Feel free to direct request for unavailable weekend time, but week days are generally accurate. Remy has food allergies, so I'm also very good with diet restrictions, meal routines, and administration of medicine.

Simply- The best! 😊
Brooke was great! Sent me pics and kept me updated throughout the day.
Amazing! A home away from home for my fur baby, Shianne. Brooke is very attentive, knowledgeable, caring, detail-oriented with outstanding and professional communication. Loved the daily updates and pictures. Remy and Shianne formed the most adorable bond. Already looking forward to our next stay!
My dog lily had the best time with Brooke and Remy! She always provided updates on how she was doing through the day, typically multiple times a day, usually with some awesome edited pics or videos. Her updates were very detailed and you can tell she really cared for her. There was also plenty of toys and space to run around. She even had an extended leash outside so she could run around the backyard with Remy. It was also a good learning experience to see how she does with another dog. She was super helpful in letting me know any concerns and very knowledgeable when it comes to taking care of a puppy. It was far better compared to some other places and felt she learned more instead of regressing. Definately my best experience so far!!! :)
Brooke was a pleasure to work with. Very attentive, detailed and could tell she loves dogs. We were able to leave our senior boxer knowing she was in good hands and would be well taken care of. Wouldn’t hesitate to rebook.
Great communication. Brooke really has a passion for animals and is quick to offer additional care suggestions. She is a wonderful caregiver, would definitely book again!

Schedule
I work a hybrid schedule that gives me the flexibility of working from home as needed. I generally work half days from home several days a week. The hours I work in a day are also pretty flexible. Lunch hour and after work availability would not be uncommon.
Where your pet will stay
Home characteristics
Safety, trust & environment
What's better exercise than a ball? A poodle. Unless requested not to, I will have my poodle with me for all outdoor activities at your house, since she is very social and enjoys others. I won't bring her inside your home, unless invited. Leashes will always be used for transfers and walks. I will also use one in the yard until I'm confident they listen without it. This goes for both your house and mine. I have an unfenced half acre yard with a dog pool in a quiet neighborhood with no thru traffic and friendly neighbors. There is also a small dog park area close by that could be attended as needed. My house has a windowed front room with French doors that I generally use in place of kenneling, but dogs are generally left at large in the house. I have a puppy tent for providing a leak proof option for unattended puppy play. Potty pads are available for pup tent. Most will learn our "bell system" pretty quickly, but all will be let out as instructed otherwise. I have plenty of gates and large rooms available should separation be necessary but would generally leave them open to play with toys, puzzles, and bones (as able). Pups that cannot suppress a bark while on "neighborhood watch" (a favorite pass time) will be prohibited from browsing during my work hours, but welcome to rejoin afterwards. Trips to the Marshfield dog park, icecream, or pet bath are not out of the question but would be confirmed ahead of time.

A typical day
Generally I run a pretty low key household during the day. There's a lot of mental simulation available between puzzles, bones, and the "neighborhood watch" windows, but physical activity is usually through walks, yard time, and trips to the dog park. We do occasionally play indoors but outdoor play is preferred.
