Your dog deserves a vacation too :)

Pet care experience

I would love to watch your dog for the day or while you’re away! I am as big of a "dog person" as you could find, and I believe that the best way to have fun on your own vacation is to know your dog is safe and happy at home. I have cared for dogs of all ages, with different temperaments and activity levels. Does your dog need a five mile walk every day? Got it. Is your dog very reactive but still wants to spend time outside? I understand. Would your dog rather just lay on the couch and get pets? I'm in! I work from home so am able to work from your house and spend as much or little time with your dog as they want. I will never leave a dog alone for more than 3 hours and would be happy to take them on any adventure. Daily updates & pictures of your dog having the time of their lives will absolutely be sent to you. DISCLAIMER: I will not take your animal to a dog park or on any off -leash activities. I know that some dogs are okay with these things but to be safe, I would not like to put them in this situation under my care.

Brooks was wonderful with my pups! You know immediately she loves dogs and they really liked her. She was able to help me out on short notice. She was completely comfortable with my 95 lb Golden Lab as well as my 20 lb terrier mix and even took them on a walk together! I will definitely call upon Brooks again when the need arises! Thank you so much!

Our dogs LOVE brooks and so do we! We’ve tried several Rover sitters and will now only use Brooks for sitting and walking our precious pups. She’s friendly, conscientious, responsible- a true delight. It’s obvious that she is an absolute dog lover. You’ll love her and so will your pets.

I have had a lot of dog walkers in my time and NO one can stand up to Brooks as a perfect dog walker I trust her totally and my dog (Katie) adores her!! ??.

My yorkiepoo, Jasmine, is 10 yrs. old and has __never__been left with another for more than 5 hrs at a time on an average of once every 2 years. The thought of leaving her overnight in a stranger's home left me uneasy at the very least. However, at the meet-n-greet, Brooks was accommodating, punctual, warm, sincere and a delight to the soul. Watching her 'woo' my doggie, (who had just come off a 4 hr flight with a 3 hr. layover), was heartwarming ...comforting. In little time, I knew Brooks was an answered prayer, exactly the only type of person I would dare permit stand in my stead for a day. She sent images of Jasmine at various times, giving me opportunity to see Jasmine at play, at rest & during walks. I was a little jealous that my doggie looked so 'at home' with Brooks. Then, instantly afterwards, I was __thoroughly thrilled__ that she looked so at ease & at home with her. What a peace that was for me & my husband. You can entrust your precious canine with this responsible young lady. Before leaving my pup with her, I asked if we 3 could take walk together. Earlier, I had shared with her that I didn't want Jasmine around other animals. In our walk, we encountered a cat in our path. To my great surprise, Brooks gently approached the cat and ever so delicately lifted it up and carried it to another location. That unsolicited and sweetly executed act spoke volumes about her affinity with animals AND her respect for my concerns. Do yourself and your precious canine a favor: look no further, call Brooks and relax! You will be SO very relieved about your choice. Your pup's face and wagging tale will verify this review.

Information Brooks B. would like to know about your pet

Please let me know if your dog has reactivity issues and what are the triggers. I have taken care of multiple dogs that have had reactivity issues to all different things (surprisingly enough, one dog I had wouldn't walk under the gondola... tried to attack it every time?) and I have found ways to keep my dogs safe, while being able to enjoy time outdoors.

A typical day

I love to hike all around and paddleboard at our close lakes. I spend my weekends outside most of the time and am very active.
