PSA for SUMMERTIME!!! - For all my clients booking WALKS this summer, please note that the time you book may not be able to be accommodated. 30+ degree heat is NO JOKE. Heat exhaustion, hot pavement, etc can be life threatening for your fur babies. - If you’re in need of a walk midday, and the weather is piping hot, consider a drop in visit instead. Your pup can be let outside in a grassy yard, have time to play, and drink water, all the good stuff! - For overnight stays, note that I will be using my discretion to decide when the dogs will get walked. But they will always get some form of exercise, even if it’s indoor playtime! :) **BEFORE YOU REQUEST A BOOKING** If you could please provide us with the following: 1. The community/town in which you reside? We are currently only taking bookings within a certain radius. 2. Does your pet(s) have any type of separation anxiety? 3. Have you read through (fully) our “about us” section, as well as our “schedule” section? :) Hello! We are Brooke & James, I (Brooke) am 30 years old and my fiance, James, is 35. We have extensive experience in dog sitting. We understand that for pet owners, they are not just pets, but your fur babies as well and that's how they will always be treated by us. Currently we are not offering pet boarding services due to us having a dog of our own. However, we are happy to offer our services in your home where your pets can stay comfortable. We love to snuggle with pets, so where they sleep is not a big deal. We don't mind if they sleep in the bed with us, the couch in the living room, or if the parents prefer, they can be in their own beds. James and I are very active and adventurous individuals. We enjoy exploring the nearby parks and outdoor recreation facilities. We are always looking to seek out local areas that are pet friendly, we love getting to explore with our clients. We both love dogs and have had several pets throughout our lives.

Safety, trust & environment
We always like to offer a meet and greet before beginning a booking with our new clients. This allows us to not only meet you, and your fur babies, but it also gives us the opportunity to see your house and how you like to have things kept in your space. Some people have a fully fenced backyard with security, whereas others have no yard and live on a busy street. No matter the case, we like to get a lay of the land so we can know whether or not dogs must be walked to go potty or if they can be let outside under our supervision. If our clients allow us to take their dog to the dog park, then we will ask before the booking which dog park(s), how the dogs recall is, and if off leash is ok. When going on walks we always keep the dogs leashed, unless in the fenced backyard at which point they will be under our supervision 100% of the time. We are extra cautious of coming and going through the front door with both dogs and cats. When coming inside with bags or items, usually I, or we, will enter empty handed first to ensure the pet is away from the door. And when exiting we always exit with our backs to the door, eyes on the pet at all times. We learned this trick from a trainer and in several years of being on Rover have never had an escapee!
Ratings and reviews
Brooke is amazing with our Ollie!!!
Brooke was amazing right from the beginning. She walked me through the process as this was our first time with Rover and my dog loved her the moment she met her. She sent updates regularly that included photos which we absolutely loved. I’ve already booked her for a second stay and would highly recommend her to anyone!
Brooke is absolutely amazing - our little guy is hard to trust people and he warmed up to Brooke the first visit. Highly recommend trusting her with your fur babies!!!
We had the pleasure of having Brooke watch our two Bernese Mountain dogs for two weeks while we were away. She made so much effort to get to know them before we left so that they would be comfortable and anxiety-free when we left them in her very capable care! We got so many fun updates and pictures every day. Our two pups had their own vacation with Brooke, walking every day and enjoying as much outside time as the weather would permit and lots of cuddles! We would recommend Brooke to anyone who is looking for someone to take amazing care of their pets! She did such a phenomenal job❤️ We plan to book her again for any adventure we plan where we can’t bring 2 pups!!
This was our first time using a dog sitter in our own home & not only were we blown away with Brooke, but we could tell our dog was a lot happier/more comfortable while we were gone. The updates we received from Brooke were great & allowed us to fully enjoy our trip since we could see our dog was having a blast and well taken care of (he was definitely getting more attention and exercise than he normally gets due to us having 2 young kids)! I almost felt sad for our dog that he would have to say goodbye to Brooke. It’s a good thing we will definitely have her watch him again! A bonus: There was no evidence that someone was in our house while we were gone as we came back to a super tidy & clean space.
Brooke was extremely professional and gave us great updates multiple times a day when we were gone. She went above and beyond what was expected during her stay! Would highly recommend!

Schedule
I (Brooke) work from home F/T, so my schedule is quite flexible. Apart from the services I provide on Rover (walks & drop ins) I’ll be able to be at home with your fur babies majority of the time. James also works from home F/T! We both take weekends off which is nice as me and James are both very adventurous people and would rather spend our time outside, even in the winter, we like to explore. Rest assured, your pets will get tons of exercise in our care! With us having our own dog, often James will stay home with her and I will be the one to arrive for all overnight bookings as it’s easier for us to split up for everyone’s sake of care. :)
- Cats0 to 15 lbs16 to 40 lbs41 to 100 lbsover 101 lbsBrooke can host up to 7 drop-ins per day
- I would like to know whether or not he/she has any allergies? Where they are up to date on shots? If not, this needs to be addressed prior to the sit as we will not be able to take the dog(s) to areas where other dogs may roam. If they get along with other dogs/cats? I would like to know if you follow a feeding schedule. For puppies/new to the family dogs, please advise if there’s any sleep arrangements/schedules in place. Some families have more strict rules about their pets being on furniture and we would also prefer to know in advance. Does your pet have any separation anxiety? Any habits such as: chewing on things other than toys? Is your pet a Houdini? (Do they try to escape often?)
