🐾 Accepting New Dog Walking & House Sitting Clients 🏡 Preference given to Rutherford and Ellerslie areas. Multiple drop ins per day will not be accommodated outside of my service area or immediate location at the time of booking. 📎 References available in my profile Hello! I’m an experienced, professional animal lover offering dog walking and house sitting services. I don’t do this for the income — I do it because I genuinely love animals and enjoy helping people feel at ease while they’re away. I have a full-time career, don’t drink or smoke, and approach every booking with professionalism, respect, and care. A bit about my background: Grew up on a farm with a family that professionally trained cattle dogs 7+ years of experience house-sitting and boarding 5 years as a licensed property manager (I understand how important trust and communication are!) Experienced with bully breeds including Rottweilers and Pit Bulls — they hold a special place in my heart. I also offer help with leash manners and basic behavioral consistency. Great with high-energy dogs — happy to take them for runs or extra-long walks! When I stay in someone’s home, I treat it with the same care and respect as my own. I understand how vulnerable it can feel having someone in your space, and I do everything possible to make you and your pets comfortable. 🐕 Meet & Greets: For new clients, I require a paid dog walk as our meet and greet — it’s the best way to ensure a great fit for everyone (especially your pets!). 💰 Rates & Discounts: My rates are slightly higher than average — but the personalized care, peace of mind, and one-on-one attention your pets receive are truly priceless compared to kenneling. If you are outside of my service are, I may include a fuel surcharge for distances over 25 min from my location (gas pricing right now is..🤮🤑)but its case by case and dependant on the length of the stay, repeat or new clients and the time requirement. Puppy rate applies to pets that are not house-trained or require medication (oral or injectable). I purposely don’t book back-to-back stays to allow flexibility for families traveling and to ensure I’m fully present for each client. Feel free to ask me anything — communication and trust are everything. Texting is always welcome! 🐾 Preferred Client List: Long-term and repeat clients get first choice on major holidays.

House Sitting • Aug 29, 2026

Brooke was great!! Very attentive to our senior dog’s (Koby) needs and mobility issues. She provided daily pictures and updates. Her communication was always very prompt. It was nice to go on holiday and know he was well taken care of and we were not stressed. We would definitely book with Brooke in the future 🐶

Brooke was awesome to deal with. From meet and greet to care of our pets. She even recommended a product to help with my cat who can become stressed and pee outside his litter box.

Brooke is the best dog sitter we've ever had. We trusted her completely and we could tell the dogs loved her. When she moved to a different city we were so sad to lose such a reliable pet sitter. Would recommend highly.

Drop-In Visits • Oct 26, 2020

Brooke is awesome, our little guy loved her. We had Brooke drop in for approx 2 months. Always on time and lots of updates via Instagram. Hopefully we get the chance to have her sit for us again. Well worth the money!

A typical day

If its nice out maybe go on a nice hike somewhere close the home. I rarely take dogs out of their neighborhood and prefer to keep things familiar. I will not go to off leash areas or dog parks with my clients. There is too much risk of injury or illness and I will not take on that liability.
