Southern Hospitality for Your Pup!

Pet care experience

Hi there, we're Brooke and Brian and we can't wait to meet you and your dog. We are newlywed, life-long pet owners with an energetic, fun-loving fur baby. We are responsible, attentive animal-lovers with a passion for pets and we love providing our own pup, Gambit, with other playmates.  I, Brooke, have full time availability, so I can spend tons of time with your dog. I pride myself on being cheerful, creative, and calm, and all of these traits help me be a better pet sitter. Dogs respond positively to my energy, I always can think of new ways to entertain them, and they're soothed by my presence. My husband Brian (a lifelong pet owner) is here for playtime and walks, but I am the primary caregiver. I have tons of volunteer experience with cats and dogs in shelters, and can provide animals with a calming presence. I also have a degree in Speech Pathology & Audiology, and am a skilled communicator. I take special interest in each dog, I want to learn about their quirks and personalities, so they can become part of the family while they're in my care. When you board with us, feel confident knowing your pet will not be unattended or lonely. We'll do our best to make them feel special! When you select our services, know that we will be giving your pet the attention and TLC they would have at home. The visiting dog has full run of the house to romp and play with our dog. Furniture and beds are not off-limits! Just tell us your usual house rules and we'll stick to them! Our fur-baby was gifted to me by Brian before Christmas 2014 and he's been the gift that keeps on giving. He was adopted from a Louisiana shelter, so we are unsure of his specific breed: he was described as "wire terrier" and appears to be a mix of Jack Russell terrier and Dachshund. He's gentle, sweet-natured, and well-behaved, so he would be a great playmate for your dog while you are away. He's approximately 13 lbs but enjoys play with all dogs, big or small!  We're Conveniently located for travelers within minutes of Houston’s IAH/George Bush International Airport. Drop off your pup before your next flight! We live in a gated apartment community with an on-site, fenced dog park that is steps away from our front door.  Please reach out to us if you have any questions! We're so excited to meet you and your dog, so we can continue building relationships in our community.

Brooke took great care of my two senior girls while I was on vacation for a week. Highly recommend her!

Bentley seemed to enjoy his stay with Brooke! He's a pretty energetic pup, but I could tell that he got a lot of playtime in because he was ready to chill when we got home. So thankful for that because I was also ready to relax after being away! We will definitely rebook soon!

Brooke was awesome. Tyson loved playing with Gambit. She gave regular updates on Tyson. She took Tyson to dog park everyday when possible, and made sure his high energy demads were fulfilled. Would highly recommend.

Information Brooke L. would like to know about your pet

Before the stay, I would like to know as much as possible about your dog to see if we'd be a good fit. Do they get along with other dogs? What is their personality like? Do they have any health issues? What can I do to make them comfortable? What are your expectations for the stay? The more I know, the better I can care for them just like you do.

A typical day

I have open availability for dog care. We will go on frequent walks for exercise and potty breaks. Playtime is all the time here! So please make sure to pack some of your dog's favorite toys (though we do have toys and treats to spare and Gambit does share!) Gambit sleeps in bed with us and your pup can too, unless you specify otherwise. We have other comfy accommodations in our living room, including our couch and pet bed. You may also want to supply your own bedding if it will increase your dog's comfort.
