Availability
Last year, I made the decision to resign from my role as a Funeral Arranger in order to pursue my passion for travel and animal welfare. This led me to spend time abroad volunteering at a very special animal shelter in Croatia, where I gained invaluable hands-on experience caring for a wide variety of animals. Having recently returned to the UK, I am currently helping my sister care for her children while my brother-in-law is working away. Two of the children have additional needs, which has further strengthened my patience, adaptability, and caring nature. As my support is provided on a flexible basis, I currently have full availability and can accommodate a wide range of working hours, including weekdays, evenings, weekends, and short-notice bookings.

About Brooke H.

Dog skills
Safety, trust & environment
I understand that every pet is unique and that entering a pet’s home means stepping into their safe space and established routine. When caring for a dog or cat in someone else’s home, I take the time to learn their individual needs, habits, likes, dislikes, and any special requirements they may have. I carefully follow feeding schedules, exercise routines, medication instructions, and household rules to ensure consistency and minimise stress while their owners are away. Safety is always my highest priority. I make sure doors, gates, and windows are secure, remove any potential hazards, and remain attentive to changes in behaviour that may indicate discomfort, illness, or anxiety. I understand that pets can feel unsettled when their owners are absent, so I focus on creating a calm, reassuring environment where they feel comfortable and secure. Whether that means energetic walks and playtime for an active dog or quiet companionship and gentle affection for a senior cat, I adapt my approach to suit each animal’s personality. My goal is not only to meet a pet’s basic needs but to ensure they feel loved, safe, and happy while maintaining the routines and standards of care they are accustomed to. I treat every animal as if they were my own and every home with the same respect and care that I would expect for my own.

Pet care experience
I frequently care for and walk my sister's Golden Retriever, Monty. In addition to my personal experience with dogs, I have recently returned from volunteering at Udruga Farmica, a non-profit animal shelter that currently cares for 132 dogs, 1 cat, 3 cows, 6 sheep, 2 donkeys, 2 ponies, and 4 pigs. I volunteered there for 3 months this year, having previously spent one month volunteering in December. It was an incredibly rewarding and meaningful experience that allowed me to gain hands-on experience in animal care, including feeding, administering medication, accompanying animals on veterinary visits, exercising dogs through regular walks, and providing enrichment through play and social interaction. Many of the dogs at the shelter had previously lived as street strays and, as a result, often displayed a range of behavioural challenges. Through my volunteering, I learned how to adapt my approach to suit each dog’s individual needs, helping them build trust and confidence while supporting basic training and positive behavioural development.I would be happy to provide a personal reference from the manager of the organisation upon request.

Reviews
Brooke regularly looks after my two cocker spaniels and cat in my home while we are away on vacation. The pets really love spending time with her and get very excited when she comes to babysit. Brooke is very reliable and I trust her to care for both my fur babies and my home.
Brooke looks after my dog Monty when we are on holiday and I couldn’t recommend her more. She is a fantastic animal lover who goes above and beyond for your pets. Monty is always so happy when Brooke arrives. She is Very trustworthy and I feel confident and comfortable leaving her with my dog and taking care of my home.
Brooke was a amazing help to me when I went on holiday for 2 weeks , she stayed in my house and looked after my dog while I was away, sent me regular photo and message updates of my girl and made me feel very secure being away from my dog and home , I highly recommend her
