Vet Tech, Animal Lover🐾

Pet care experience

I have worked in a professional pet care environment for over 4 years. In the past I worked at a dog kennel/daycare and I currently work as a veterinary technician. This has given me ample opportunities to learn animal behavior, first-aid, and medication administration. I also have numerous years of experience walking, feeding, bathing, and doing in-home visits for clients, as well as caring for my own pets. Through these opportunities I have developed a love for all breeds and age dogs.

Brooke was amazing ! We have 3 older dogs who bonded with her and they were must more relaxed than with previous sitters!

Brooke was awesome with my dog Chico. She was also very pleasant to meet and we always timely with the walks. This is my first time using a dog walker but I’ll definitely rebook Brooke again!

Brooke was great with our dog Sara. She walked her, played with her, gave her the meds she needed, and also some ice cream to cool down at the end of the week. She stayed in communication with us the entire time, and when we came back, Sara was happy to see us, and looked well cared for. It put our minds at ease to be able to leave our dog at home, and Brooke was great! I wouldn't hesitate to use her again.

Safety, trust & environment

When doing in-home visits, I love to meet the owner and their dog prior to starting my services when possible. This allows the dog to become comfortable with me before I enter their home and also allows me to speak with the owner about their needs and typical routine. While caring for the dog, I follow any instructions left by the owner including feeding instructions, walking instructions, etc. Most importantly, I ensure that your dog gets the love and attention it deserves while you are away!

Information Brooke I. would like to know about your pet

I need to know if your dog has any triggers such as other dogs, people, children etc. I also need to know if they have any allergies, medication, or other special needs. Generally, I need to know their normal feeding and potty routine as well.

A typical day

I love to take dogs on walks around their homes, or on trail walks nearby if they are comfortable! If they have a fenced in yard I’ll throw around their favorite toy to let out all of that extra energy. I also love to offer enrichment exercises such as food puzzles, snuffle mats, and other fun games. Most importantly, I give lots of pets and belly rubs!
