Highlights
Pet care experience
Soon to be bestie for your fur baby
I am a based in Salford, currently working part time (2 days a week working from home), and can be flexible with work days and hours depending on your pets routine. I am quite flexible with boarding options and walks around my schedule during the days e.g. early mornings, evenings, and late afternoons (or lunch time walks if you’re close to my home). I have been a dog lover and owned dogs for as long as I can remember. I have been apart of many professional training sessions with my dogs over the years, where I have gained many training and socialisation tips/skills from trainers and have been able to confidently implement these skills into my own training at home. Since living in the UK, I have been a dog sitter for many of my friends dogs and I have loved every second of having the company of dogs around. I have been heavily involved in training my family dog (a reactive dog) and learnt to better understand dogs social cues when they are feeling uncomfortable. I have also had experience in helping to care for my family dog as she was into her senior years of life, dealing with multiple hip surgeries and recovery, and making adjustments to make her life more comfortable as she got older. Being patient is key. I believe I have a lot of confidence in caring for a variety of breeds with different personalities, energy levels and needs. I am also DBS checked from my previous job (secondary school teacher) and can provide this for peace of mind if required.

Ratings and reviews
We can't say enough good things about Brooke! She took wonderful care of Seb, sending us daily videos and photos of all his fun activities. Brooke is an excellent communicator and incredibly flexible with any specific requests, which gave us total peace of mind. Seb bonded with her immediately and he clearly had the best time. We highly recommend Brooke to anyone and are already looking forward to Seb's next stay with her.
I always worry when Stanley is with somebody new but from 1st contact Brooke was lovely and very reassuring. Stanley had a wonderful time and I was treated to some lovely photos and video updates throughout his stay. Brooke kept him very active and really included him in her home. When I picked him up I could really see the bond Brooke and Stanley already had. I would not hesitate to ask Brooke again and I can assure anybody who chooses Brooke they have struck gold. Thank you so much😊
Brooke was absolutely wonderful with Reggie. She made him feel so at home and he settled in straight away! I was only away for 3 nights but Brooke sent me lots of photos & pupdates so I knew Reggie was having the best time. Brooke made me feel so at ease leaving Reggie with her, she was confident with him & knowledgeable and clearly has a lot of experience with dogs. Reggie had the best holiday & will definitely be back! Thank you again! Xx
Brooke was amazing, Lots of updates and pictures. Patch was very happy when he came home and he was definitely spoiled and loved the whole time.
Brooke is a fantastic dog walker. She handled our dog-reactive large greyhound (Thomas) expertly. She was always prompt picking him up. She responds quickly to messages and communicates very well. She provides the CUTEST pictures and updates from the walks. Thomas absolutely adores her. Only downside is his little heart will be broken tomorrow when he realises Brooke is not coming to take him for his morning walk. We would have been lost without her this week!
Brooke was absolutely wonderful looking after our dog Cinny - we would 100% recommend and felt so confident that she was being looked after, loved and cared for

Home characteristics
Safety, trust & environment
I will always provide photos and regular updates of your dogs stay with me. I am also familiar with dogs who are crate trained and have been a regular sitter for a dog who is crate trained. I am currently living in a 2 bedroom apartment with a balcony. My building is very dog friendly with many social pooches around too for some socialisation. I am happy to make any adjustments to make your dog more comfortable during their stay.
A typical day
Big long walks around nearby parks, playing fetch and adventures in new places they haven’t been before. Lots of time for sniffing around and socialising with other dogs along the way if they are social pups. Happy to do any other activities that your pup loves!
