“I recently had the pleasure of using Rover for the first time, and I was fortunate enough to book with Brooke. From the start, Brooke demonstrated professionalism and a genuine love for dogs that put me at ease. I have a Yorkie with a larger-than-life personality, and I was a bit apprehensive about how he would adjust to a new sitter. However, Brooke's warm and caring approach quickly won him over. She was attentive to his needs and provided regular updates that reassured me he was in good hands. Brooke managed to bond with my Yorkie effortlessly, and it was clear that she was not only capable but also genuinely enjoyed spending time with him. Her experience and positive attitude made the whole process smooth and worry-free. I would not hesitate to use Brooke's services again in the future. She has proven to be a reliable and compassionate dog sitter, and I highly recommend her to anyone looking for a trustworthy person to care for their furry friend.”
About: My doggies taught me everything I know. They are no longer here - they went to doggy heaven and we miss them all the time. My teens and I have a lot love to give and want to share with your doggy. You can rest assured we would treat your doggy as if it were ours. Also, anything under 10.5 miles for more than 1 day I offer pick up and dropp off. I work from home and have a very tight routine in our home that will help your pet feel calm and secure. Since pets thrive on routine it will bring them peace and calmness. I can give extra walks when it's a nice day and make sure we stay active if need or relaxed and enjoying a lazy "dog day". I have a quiet, grassy backyard that gives dogs a calm place to sniff, stretch their legs, and enjoy fresh air. It's a low-stress space that's great for potty breaks and relaxed outdoor time. I'm very mindful of which dogs are a good fit for my space and always put safety and comfort first so that your pups feel happy and at ease while they're with me. Doggies are allowed on our beds and couches and even our bathrooms :) - we keep a light sense of humor
“Jason quickly made a strong connection with our lab, Ralph, and with us. He puts extra time, thought and effort into his care of Ralph which has made a difference. He is also extremely responsive and provides detailed information about each interaction. He’s terrific!”
