Brooke was awesome with our high energy dog! She made time for a meet and greet beforehand, asked great questions, and is very knowledgeable about dogs of different backgrounds and temperaments. She’s also very responsive and communicative. Our dog was very happy after her walk with Brooke!

About: I’ve grown up with cats and dogs and have always loved the responsibility of taking care of pets - as they take care of me mentally by having a buddy around. I’m skilled with all kinds of personalities and ages. I’m currently in between jobs as an actor, so I have pretty open availability to help you with all of your pet needs! Morning-noon-or night - I’ll fit you and your loved one into my schedule! I’m willing to be super active with your animal if you want as I love to get outside and get my steps in. My apartment is chill and pet-friendly, should you need more than just a simple walk.

About: A life-long pet owner, I have 9+ years of experience as a dog and cat foster/volunteering through Ruff Start Rescue. I'm very good with shy and fearful dogs as I have owned them and understand that they require patience and meeting them where they're at. I'm comfortable with dispensing medications in liquid, pill and topical form. For the safety of all animals, I do not accept bookings with less than 72 hr notice from first-time clients. Previous clients may book day-of provided I am available. I work from home and I'm an introvert so I spend a lot of time around my animals and they're spoiled for affecrion. Outside is usually every 3-4 hours. My yard is fenced with plenty of sunshine and shady spots in the yard to play and explore. I also have baby gates through the house to keep pets safe and separated if needed (but mostly out of trouble if I'm not in the room). There are tons of different types of toys that my boys love to share and play with other dogs. I understand that some dogs require mental stimulation in addition to physical so I also have lots of puzzle toys to keep them engaged.

About: I spent over a year training a service dog for Helping Paws (starting as a puppy). I'm the primary caretaker of my dog at home, responsible for feeding and walking him twice a day. I've grown up with pets in my house my whole life. I love all furry friends! I'm home from college for the summer, so I'm free 24/7. I'm happy to pet sit on a whim and I can take your animals for a walk any time of day! I'm excellent at reading animals, so if your pet wants to show me their favorite toy, I'll match their energy! If they're feeling protective about their food/bed, I'll give them their space. I understand I'll be entering their home, and I'm just a guest.

About: I’ve taken care of dogs with leash/other dog/human/food aggression, Dogs with special needs or seniors. I’ve been through several training courses at canine coach and am more than happy to help with positive reinforcement training when you have a puppy or older pet. I am used to high energy and low energy breeds, stubborn dogs who don’t want to finish walks, etc. I currently have two cats. Daily care for them looks like 2 daily feedings, dedicated play time and lots of love and Patience. One of my cats is a very outgoing one brain cell orange boy named Gibbs and the other is a new addition to my family and is a 14 month old gray baby named Peach. Peach is still adjusting to me, so she gets a lot of patience and quiet time to herself and with me. In a clients home I would care for your pets needs - administering medications if needed, feedings, potty breaks, litter box maintenance, play time and walks depending on the animal.

About: What sets me apart comes down to how I see dogs. To me, they are not just pets. They are souls I feel honored to care for during their time here. This perspective shapes everything about how I show up for every dog in my care. My own 11-year-old girl is my greatest testament. Despite being a breed known for "yapping," she is calm, rarely makes a peep, and is consistently praised by vets, groomers, and strangers alike for being so well-behaved. And, do not get me started on the cuddles she gives to everyone she meets (if you let her :))! At 11, she has only needed the vet twice outside of her routine annual visits, a reflection of the attentive, consistent care she receives every single day. This same devotion is what every dog who comes through my door gets. I notice the small things. I take my time. I do not rush walks, I will not cut corners on drop-ins, and when a dog is boarding with me, they are treated like family - because that's genuinely how I feel about them. If you love your dog like I love mine, we are going to get along just fine. 🐾 Pet care is not something I fit into my routine — it IS my routine. As an early riser, mornings are my favorite time to get out for walks, and I find dogs tend to thrive on that early energy too. There's something special about starting the day together. My schedule is flexible throughout the day, making drop-ins, walks, and boarding visits easy to accommodate with little notice. I do keep my evenings close to home after 7pm, as my own 11-year-old girl depends on her routine to ensure she remains healthy and happy. I believe every dog deserves that same kind of structure. Overnight stays are absolutely welcome. I just ask that evening arrangements are settled before that 7pm wind-down so everyone, including your pup, transitions smoothly into the night. Bottom line...if you need someone dependable, present, and genuinely enthusiastic about caring for your dog, I am your person. In my home, cleanliness and comfort go hand in hand. Every dog that comes through my door is treated with the same care I give my own. After every trip outside, paws and body are wiped down and cleaned - no exceptions. If your pup arrives without a recent bath, they will get one during their stay, because every dog deserves to feel fresh and cared for. While boarding, dogs can expect to go outside a minimum of four times a day, keeping them comfortable, active, and on a healthy schedule. If you have specifics outside of such, I am happy to discuss and likely accommodate. My home is a calm, loving environment where your dog will feel safe and right at home from day one. In your home, my approach is simple - your rules, your routine. You know your dog best, and my job is to honor the life and habits you have already built for them. I follow your care instructions to the letter, ensuring your pup barely notices you are gone. Whether it is in my space or yours, the standard of care never changes - attentive, clean, consistent, and full of genuine love for your dog.
