Not only does Tracy watch her all day, she takes her on walks, helps with training, snuggles with her etc. I was so worried to send my Bean to daycare generally speaking, but to say we’re lucky to have found Tracy is an understatement!!!”

“Thank you for hosting Benji.”
About: I’ve always been an animal lover. When I was a child I had all sorts of different pets. I had fish, hamsters, gerbils, lizards and rabbits. When I got older I had a family dog named Lulu who I helped house brake and train as a pup when I was in high school. When I became an adult I adopted my dog Weston who I’ve had and trained since he was an eight week old puppy. I’m very confident in my ability to help house train your young dog if need be. I understand how much stimulation and exercise they require. I’m happy to provide that through long walks, trips to the dog park and general outings. I have lots of chew toys around and ways to keep feisty puppies occupied. I’ve fostered cats as well as taken care of neighbors’ kittens including providing feedings and litter box cleaning when necessary. I’ve always wanted to have a parrot as a pet so if you have birds that need care I’d appreciate the opportunity to come help out and learn more about them :). I’m currently a full time pet sitter. I have a dog of my own as well. I will be available all hours of the day and night to care for your animal(s). I’m happy to spend the extra time taking puppies in training as well as senior dogs outside as much as they need. I have a friendly golden doodle named Weston to keep your pup company. I’m happy to help house brake puppies as well as provide care for senior animals.

Brooke M.
“Testimonial for Cookie’s Hounds I cannot recommend Brooke highly enough! From the moment I met them, I felt an instant connection and knew my furry friend would be in great hands. Brooke is not only incredibly professional but also genuinely loves animals, which gave me peace of mind while I was away. During my trip, I received regular updates and adorable photos of my dog, Angel which made my time away so much easier. It was clear that Brooke took the time to engage with Angel, ensuring she was happy, healthy, and well-exercised. They even went above and beyond by sticking to Angel’s routine, which I truly appreciated. When I returned home, Angel was relaxed and content, a testament to the wonderful care he received. I could tell she had formed a bond with Brooke, and I felt grateful knowing he was loved and cared for just like she would be at home. If you’re looking for a trustworthy, caring, and attentive dog sitter, look no further than Brooke, I will definitely be booking their services again in the future! Thank you, Brooke, for taking such fantastic care of my fur baby! Warm regards, [Your Name][Your Contact Information][Optional: Your Dog’s Name]”
