Experienced & Caring Pet Sitter💕🐶
Pet care experience
I’ve had experience both living and working with animals for most of my life. I grew up with a cat, an Australian Cattle Dog/Border Collie mix, and a Yorkie/Shih Tzu mix. Plus, I’ve pet sat for various clients through Rover, neighbors, family members, and friends, and I worked at a doggy daycare in Atlanta for almost a year. I got professional training through that job to be able to read dogs’ cues and behaviors, interact with dogs in an authoritative yet non-intimidating way, and take care of each dog’s unique caretaking needs as far as feeding, medicine, and more. Whether your dog or cat is young or old, big or small, social or shy — I will adapt to work with them. I absolutely love working with animals & have been told I have a gift for getting along with pets.
Reviews
Brooke was an awesome sitter for my pups! I have an older, senior gal with mostly paralyzed back legs and Brooke made me feel super comfortable leaving her in her care :) thanks Brooke!!
Brooke was amazing! She was very communicative, left my place in great shape, and took wonderful care of my dog! She took the time to meet first, sent photo and text updates, and made sure Callie was happy and exercised. Would highly recommend!
Brooke is a sweet and caring dog sitter who took great care of my little Huck when I was visiting Nashville with friends. She sent pictures and updates and he was a happy boy upon pick up! She met me at the hotel and dropped him off as well which was super convenient! Thanks Brooke!
Brooke was awesome - definitely recommend!

Safety, trust & environment
I live in a house with two cats, so I unfortunately am unavailable for keeping animals at my house. I will come to you, though! I am very clean & respectful of people’s living spaces. I’m happy to go over your rules for the house, and I’ll do everything I can do to ensure you come back to a clean and calm home! I know it can be scary to let a stranger stay at your home, so I totally understand wanting to keep a camera going just in case. All I ask is that you disclose with me that I’m being recorded before my stay. As far as taking care of your pets goes, I will always schedule a meet & greet before our appointment so they get familiar with me and feel comfortable. When I pet sit, I read through the owner’s instructions thoroughly to ensure I’m keeping their pet’s daily routine as close normal as possible. Luckily, I have time to play with pets and take them out to potty regularly since I work from home & have a flexible schedule. I always stay with pets while they eat and keep the floors tidy to mitigate choking hazards. If you’re comfortable with it, I’d be happy to take your dog on rides to local parks, too! Generally, the name of my game is having great communication with both you and your pets. I aim to allow you peace of mind that your fur baby is in good hands, plus I love to help animals’ time without their owners be more peaceful!
Information Brooke H. would like to know about your pet
I need to know about any behavioral issues, mental health issues, general health issues, etc.. If a dog has been involved in any incident where they displayed aggression, please let me know the details before booking. Note: this doesn’t mean I’ll turn you down, I just need to know how best to accommodate them & if I’m capable of doing so.
A typical day
I love playing with dogs & cats!! I need frequent breaks from my writing job to keep my brain happy & healthy, and one of my favorite ways to do that is petting, playing with, and/or walking pets. I go on several walks each day, but they’re always better when I have a dog with me. I love going to the Parthenon to walk every now and then. If you’re comfortable with me taking your dog somewhere like this, please let me know! I want to keep your pet as happy as possible.

Availability
I currently work at a retail store two days a week and do freelance writing. I work at the store Thursdays and Saturdays, where I’m usually there from around 11 am to 7 pm and can check on pets I’m house sitting during my lunch break. On days that I’m not at the store, I’m able to spend the whole day with your pets while I work from my laptop! Talk to me about your needs — I can be pretty flexible with my schedule.
