Your dog deserves a vacation too!

Pet care experience

Welcome to my comfy home! Here your dog will have access to local parks and belly rubs. I am working so I will not be available during the weekday for puppy care, but I can sit for housebroken dogs (walks before 9am and after 5pm). I am walking distance (about 0.5 miles away) to 2 parks (1 with a dog run). Your dog is the star! We can hang out in the park when the weather is nice out. About this sitter: I am a dog lover, sunchaser and student. I had my last dog, a papillon for 14 blissful years. I would like to get another dog when I finish my degree so for now my doggie love is available for your visiting pooch! I am comfortable giving oral medications and special diet. Please be upfront about any allergies/sensitivities, I want everyone to be happy during their stay. I have a doggie bed available for the stay but if Fido is particular (as they can be), I can accommodate a visiting bed. Overnight stay includes evening meal routine with short walk, morning meal routine with long walk/play in the park, and afternoon walk/play. Will pick up and/or drop off for an additional fee within specified distances. If you require certain hours or time frames please let me know. Contact me to set up a first visit! ***Please note that my rate is for a 24-hour period. If you plan on dropping off early in the AM and picking up late in the PM, the additional time will be prorated. Why I love dog sitting Longer than I can remember, since I was in a walker, chasing my uncle's two very amused German Shepherd mixes around the house as fast as my legs would let me. For 14 years I had an amazing Papillon in my life who had the best doggie smile and a great disposition. I have friends and family who have dogs, from chow chows and rotties to the Shih-poo in my photos (a friend and happy customer) so I am comfortable with all sizes. Meet my pets I currently share my home with a spunky betta fish, Coral and a rabbit, Chloe, who is totally in charge if I step out. About my yard The city is my backyard, I am walking distance (less than a mile) to two parks and about 2.0 miles to an additional two parks with dog parks. If your dog is a walker (or comes with a handy dandy doggie bag) we can hit the road! My experience administering medication I am comfortable with oral medication/salves/creams.

As always Brooke is a rock star Rover caretaker! Carmela loves her and Brooke's home has become her second home.

Brooke was exactly who we needed when we went out of town for a few days. Our dog came home happy and healthy. Brooke was quick to respond to texts and calls. She was very reasonable and flexible to our schedules. We'll definitely be using her again in the future and we highly recommend her.

Brooke is just amazing. She takes such good care of our Carmela! Always thoughtful and detailed in keeping us updated on Carmela's adventures. She is a true Doggie Care Taker Gem.

Brooke took amazing care of my 9 year old doxie Carmela. She would send me regular updates on Carmela, including artistic pictures of Carmela having fun around her neighborhood. She was super responsive and flexible with our travel schedule. Carmela loved her stay so much I think she didn't want to come back home with me :). I will certainly trust Brooke with Carmela in when I travel in the future. Thanks Brooke for all the love and attention you gave to Carmela.

A typical day

Here's where we'll take our walks I will take your dog around the neighborhood, depending on the eagerness of your dog, we can stop by one of the dog parks for some socializing or just walk through the parks. If the weather is nice, we will find a shady spot to hang out and read/dog watch. If there is bad weather (rainy/snowy/muddy) I will clean your fur baby as time allows, additional cost for full bath service. Your dog's sleeping arrangement In a doggie bed in my room or my kitchen (dog guests have liked my kitchen, it does get the best cool breeze) but wherever your fur baby feels comfortable. Time I'll spend with your dog As much time as I can, there will be times I need to be away but I will take your dog or be home with them as much as I can. If they are the active walking type or can be toted, we will be together even more!
