Experienced Veterinary Technician
Pet care experience
I understand that pet clinics and boarding facilities can be extremely stressful for dogs and other pets. My dog hates it! She cannot stand the noise and doesn't always appreciate her doggy neighbors, not to mention she never seems to get enough one on one attention. Ive always wanted someone trust worthy to take care of her while I'm gone. I would love to come and take care of your pets where they are most comfortable- your own home! I can also watch them at my home which has a roomy, fenced back yard .I am extremely experienced, having worked in vet clinics for 9 years and shelters and rescues for 7. I have 1 dog of my own now ( an english bull terrier) and grew up with pets. I am very active and love running or walking in parks and on trails. My dogs are used to wearing backpacks as we always went hiking in Arizona. I am also VERY capable of administering medication! I promise your pets will be in safe and capable hands! I have worked in vet clinics for over 9 years and shelters and rescues for over 7. I LOVE animals and have experience in both boarding and health care for animals. I am very active so i love to exercise your pets! Why I love dog sitting I loved dogs from day one of ever meeting one. I had 3 schnauzers growing up and absolutely loved them. When i moved out of the house and could afford to own a dog, i quickly rescued an English Bull Terrier named Fawny. Fawny was a handful but i love her so much. In March of 2013 I adopted Bjorn, a BIG mastiff/american bull dog mix. He was such a love but very dumb. They've been a handful! I have also worked at vet clinics for 9 years total and shelters and rescues for 7. I have been a Vet tech and have experience administering meds, grooming, feeding, watering, walking and caring for pets. Meet my pets Fawny- 13 yr old Bull Terrier About my yard Fenced! My experience administering medication Yes, i have experience with diabetics, shots, IVs, pills and the sorts.

Brooke was everything we could ask for in a pet sitter and more. She was prompt to respond, understood the care my older dog with medical issues would need, and was very nice through the whole process. Will be looking to book her again.
Brooke has been excellent at checking on my pup while I was out on vacation. She communicated very well while I was away, and my pup enjoyed her visits very much.
First of all, I want to thank Brooke and her husband for welcoming our 14 year old Jack Russell into their home on such short notice. Joey is not social with other dogs or small children so he's kind of a hard fit for anybody to watch but it wasn't a problem for Brooke. She let him check out his surroundings and then gave him the warmest room to himself, like Joey likes it. It was really cold on the days that she watched him so I thought that was really sweet. She also sent me pics of Joey in his bed with the treats that we sent with him to let me know that he was doing fine and I didn't ask her to. We will definately use her again, she has a good heart and it shows.❤?
My Trilla darlin' is a sweetheart amputee who needs a little extra attention and care. I adopted her from a shelter which cared for her while her cruelty case wound through the courts. And yeah, I spoil her a little. Brooke showed her the same care and consideration that I do and I can't ask for more than that from a sitter. The next time I need someone to walk and care for Trilla, I am calling Brooke! Mucho thanks, Brooke!

I have a spacious but secure yard that your pet will never be unsupervised in, a nice cozy home to sleep and stay in. I have an extra crate, blankets and treats too!
Home
Information Brooke R. would like to know about your pet
I want to know EVERYTHING. It isn't going to scare me away. I have seen just about everything. Obviously if the dog is aggressive towards people, that makes it more difficult. Timid or scared is not as much of a problem.
A typical day
I have kongs and treats for dogs as well as a spacious yard to play fetch or tug! The house has sunbeams for your kitty too! Your dog's sleeping arrangement: Ideally your dog is crate trained so they can be contained while I am away, but if they're good pups they can sleep with me! Cats will have a whole room to themselves while I am away. Time I'll spend with your dog I work in the medical field and usually only work 8 hours days Im an early riser so we can go for a walk or play in the yard/house together before I leave for work and then spend time when I get home! My priority will be your dogs happiness. Extra house-sitting services Yes as long as I'm not in charge of fixing your plumbing ;) Minor jobs are great such as plant care and bringing the mail in.
