Thank you! www.dogvacay. com /pro/Brooksanimalcareservices. See pictures from Dogvacay's description profile for more details on care. Hello! My full time career is being a Cosmetologist since 2001. I worked at a pet store for nearly 8 years and loved it. I was a pet counselor, sales person, worked in the kennels section, helped the vet as an assistant when he would come in to care for the animals, training, bathing animals & trimming nails or wing clipping, reptiles, dogs, cats, small animals, fish, weining baby birds/exotic birds, an was a manager. I have had dogs my whole life, and have had my own when I moved out after high school. Working with animals is a love of mine. It's fun to be around all types of breeds. Woofstock in Harrisburg is a blast every year. This is a great way of also filling the void in my home. I lost my 2 boys within a years time. I bought Giovanni at 6 months old in March 2015 to help my dog and I cope with the sudden loss. My other dog then passed away in December from a rare cancer coming back. So sad, but it's life. I miss them terribly. Giovanni is young and playful. He needs stimulation with other dogs, or he gets very ansty or builds up anxiety being alone all day. He had 20 other puppies and his parents around him for the 6 months at the breeders, which is a big no no for dogs. That gives them separation anxiety for never being separated by 8-10 weeks old. So, he has a case of it if not kept occupied & entertained. I am a Dogvacay care taker that is being merged into Rover.com. I WORK FULL TIME Tuesday-Sat, so I am unavailable for daycare, walking, and house visits during work hours are follows: Tues, Thurs, Fri 9-6pm, Wed 9-4pm, Sat 9-2pm. I need an hour after work for meetings, pick ups/drop off times usually to get everything together just getting home. My dog must come with me for stayover house sitting. I cannot neglect my dog for other dogs. He comes 1st. House visits are a better option, if your dogs aren't friendly with other dogs. It's a must that all dogs that stay in my home be friendly towards people and other dogs, house & potty trained, shots up to date, females spayed, non-destructive, and has vocal manners(don't want to upset my neighbors with obsessive barking all day). No cages in my home, as there is minimal room and want trained dogs in my home only. A meet n greet appointment needs to be scheduled first for any house stays in my home or yours to make sure my dog will be safe around your dogs. He's very friendly, so he gets along with all dogs.
Reviews
Very friendly. Can really tell she is an animal lover. Her dog is very friendly and plays well with other dogs. Would definitely recommend to anyone who is looking for a great place to board a dog.
Very caring. Goes above and beyond. Would trust my pet with her again. Considerate and very friendly.
Brooks loves animals especially dogs more than anyone I know. Her years of experience with her own pets combined with her experience working in a pet store and her love for animals makes her the perfect pet sitter! She will treat your pets like they are her own.
Brooks is truly a Dog person. Our large very robust Rotty had the time of her life staying with Brooks and Giovanni . The pictures and videos she sent were so reassuring. She is better than anything you can wish for in a Dog Sitter. Her knowledge and caring attitude are above and beyond all you could ever expect. I cant imagine a better dog sitter!

Safety, trust & environment
I have a secure fenced in yard, play with squeaky & tug toys, treats for good behavior, potty breaks when needed(can be taught to ring bells on back door), snuggles, movie time, etc. I can follow feeding times if you have set feeding times instead of filling the bowl and letting them graze throughout the day
Home
Information Brooks B. would like to know about your pet
All shots & vaccinations up to date, using a flea & tick prevention, non-aggressive, potty trained, and non destructive. No cages in my home please. I prefer dogs with nice vocal manners, so my neighbors don't get upset with me over dogs barking all day. Play time is different. The dogs that bark all day and night at nothing are the ones I mentioned. If I didn't have very close neighbors it would be less a worry about barking. I love all dogs, but big dogs are my favorite. Especially Bulldogs. My 2 dogs that past were an American Bulldog & the other was an English Bulldog/Rottweiler. They were my heart & soul. My everything! Such sweet gentle lover boys.
A typical day
Walk around the neigborhood, play out in the yard, go to City Island, play with toys, ice cream run for special treat time If ok'd by the owner, the Dog Park.

Availability
I'm currently working full time, so visits and stay - overs would have to be around my job hours. Typically the last potty break before leaving for work is: 8-8:25am, then 6:15-6:30pm and anytime after that until bedtime. Morning potty breaks are several times before leaving for work.
