Pet care experience
*** Respectful note: If you are contacting multiple people where the 1st to respond gets the job, please let me know on the initial request as I might not be the 1st to respond as I’m checking my schedule, reading your pet’s bio, etc. Then I respond & say I can only to find someone else was a faster response. It takes time to make sure I’m serving you as well as myself clearly & responsibly. I will also modify my behavior by asking if you found someone before examining my side. Thank you for understanding!*** MY AREA OF SERVICE: within a 10ish min drive of the SeaTac airport (roughly 5 miles). Sometimes I will go outside that area, so feel free to ask. The radius isn't accurate on the map here, so hopefully this will help you know if you're in that range. MY RATES MAY BE NEGOTIABLE depending on your situation. They are not if you have a large breed, very active puppy. I have a medical aid/CPR app on my phone for reference & am up to date on 1st aid/cpr (see pix). Please make sure of your expectations of my time so we can know if it's a good fit. Personal deets ~ I grew up on a "hobby farm" where we had the strange: Pygmy Goats, Llama & Emu right along with more standard: dog, cat, chickens, ducks, pigs, sheep, rabbit, parrots, horses & rats. I've cared for them all and more. And I currently have a garden, so your garden can be cared for, too! (Degree of work could result in a modification to the rates.) I usually have a good rapport with animals and am good holding boundaries. Professional deets: For overnight stays in your home, I am available for the standard feeding, taking them outside or cleaning cat box (or whatever the type of pet it is requires), & walks. I am neat & tidy & will keep your place in as good condition as you left (maybe better ;-) ). I enjoy playing with pets as well as holding and giving affection. If they are good in cars and outdoors, I can take them with me if you are comfortable. If there are extra special details you require, we can discuss those and any additional fees, if necessary. I don’t have a full-time job that I’m trying to work around at this point. I do have a garden that I am maintaining which I will need to go to regularly (depending on season) which is why I’ve limited my travel radius as well as very part time other work. However! If someone hears about me & would like to request outside my area, I am open. We can discuss any extra fees to defray travel costs. I’d be willing to travel most anywhere in or out of state (even out of country!) given the right type of circumstances. Ask & we’ll see! If I have a pet come to where I live, there is a fenced back yard. They will need to be trustworthy in a food garden. If I go to their home, I can abide by the rules of the home for the pet. I'm very clean & conscientious & usually leave a place at least as good as I found it. It’s very helpful if you have typed instructions for your pet, your home (houseplants as well) & garden (if that’s included). I refer to those to ensure I’m providing the experience you’d like. I can also leave notes during my stay of anything that I experience that’s different. My schedule is currently fairly flexible on the dates I have available & can tailor my time around what is needed in the situation. Specifically, that means I will be there as needed for potty breaks, feeding, walks & chill time. I will come & go as needed. Talk with me if you need a specific schedule. When I stay in your home, I look for you to communicate how you would like things to be, how you & your pet normally interact, & if there are any things I should be aware of while I'm there (either with your home or special info I should know about your pet). If I have a pet in my home, I will talk with you about how best to incorporate them.
Reviews
Brooklin was amazing with our old dog and feisty kitten. This was our first time using Rover and both our babies seemed to have a little separation anxiety. Our dog couldn't sleep well and she texted us asking how to help him - at 3am. What amazing support! Our kitten was a little pill getting into things and she still tried to make friends with him. I highly recommend Brooklin!!
Brooklin was wonderful we enjoyed her enthusiasm for animals . Will,definitely call upon her services
Brooklin is very professional, thoughtful and dedicated to caring for animals and your home, that is why we are repeat customers. Thank you Brooklin for your wonderful communication, spoiling of our dog and us. Nice to come home to such a clean house too! Thank you!!
Brooklyn was amazing, couldn’t recommend more highly. Both our little sensitive pup and fierce bird adored her and the videos she sent we keep watching :). Thanks again for everything!!!

At my home, there is a fully fence backyard (if I agree to take them full time or bring them to my home whenever I go out). I am conscientious when a pet is outside with me by making sure the situation is that they & I are safe.
Information Brooklin K. would like to know about your pet
My favorite pets to care for can respond to basic commands. If that is in place, I really have no preference for what type or size of pet I'm with. If the pet is particularly rambunctious, we can discuss what options I have & whether it's a good fit.
A typical day
I don't have a "typical day" right now. I can work with what arises. I do have things I'm working on, so I wouldn't be paying 24/7 attention to pets; but I do try to have all pets feel included & have moments of play, walking, possible tricks with treats, etc. If they and you are good with it, I can possibly take them with me to places, including my home.
