About: I’ve taken care of so many different kinds of dogs since I was a little girl, from helping with breeding, nursing baby puppies back to health, potty training, growing up, and also as they grew old. Small dogs, medium dogs, large dogs, they all have been a part of my life of which I have enjoyed. Sadly, seizures and surgeries with daily medications have also been a part of the care I have given. I LOVE animals and love on any of those in my care like they are my own. I’m off work in the summers and can board all days of the week. When I go back to work, I can still board dogs all days of the week, but would just be away from home during my working hours. I have a fenced in backyard and two friendly dogs that will keep your pup comfortable while you are away. I also have two crates that can be used unless you prefer to bring your own. Dog beds, blankets, and dog water are available at all times.
“Karissa has been walking my greyhound 4 days a week. She is reliable, good at communicating, and clearly cares for him. I’m grateful for her help and plan to continue using her dog walking services!”
About: Hi! I'm Gabrielle, a passionate animal lover, proud dog mom to my 3 year old pup Yonah, and a full time elementary school teacher who's trading in tiny humans for furry companions this summer! Looking for someone to take your dog on walks, give them lots of love, and keep you updated with adorable photos while you're away? I’ve got you covered! We'll collaborate to make sure your pet has a tail-wagging good time while you’re gone! I’ve been pet sitting and dog walking since elementary school—also helping with fish, frogs, a bird, and a hamster, and eventually convincing my parents I was ready for a dog of my own. My sister and I lovingly cared for our family dog until she was 14, and now Yonah, my own "dog daughter," keeps me on my toes with her sweet, fun-loving spirit that matches mine perfectly. With five years of teaching under my belt, I bring a nurturing, patient, and dependable presence to every pet I care for. Whether your pup loves cuddles, outdoor adventures, or just someone to chill with, I’ll make sure they feel safe, loved, and totally at home. I live in a 2 bedroom townhome with a fenced in patio and access to beautiful walking trail. I also am near dog parks and around pet friendly businesses if you'd like your pet to be socialized. I'm currently a teacher on summer break, so I have flexibility when it comes to caring for your pup! I want to remain active during my break while also taking time to do the things I enjoy, like taking walks! With my own puppy, I take time after my workdays to take her for walks, playdates, or play time at the dog parks. Whether it's a short lap around the neighborhood or a long stroll through town, I can work with you to fit you and your dog's needs. I am very attentive and am sure to keep an eye out for your pet's safety and comfortability at all times, whether in home or on a walk. I also have a playful, 3 year old mini cockapoo that can keep your dog company on our walks or playdates (if requested).

About: I volunteered at Forsyth Humane Society for 3 1/2 years. I have worked with many different breeds, big and small. I foster through them now. I own my own business, so I make my own schedule. I can be flexible, but late morning through evening, any day of the week is when I typically am available. I have multiple crates for dogs in my house. I also have kennels outdoors for my dogs to play during the day, which are covered. My cats have their own section of the house, so they do not have to interact with your dog if not cat friendly, and vice versa. I will be sure to follow any instructions you may have for your pet. I will ensure to establish a connection with your pets so that they become familiar with me and comfortable and take the time to learn things they do and do not like or activities that they may enjoy doing.

Currently available to take care of any pet at any time 24/7. Need to find your sitter that day? I'm the one to reach out to. I'll follow any instruction that is needed of me from the client.

Our pastor and many others would call her back the next time they would need care because she did such a good job. I have gone with her on some jobs and noticed that the animals loved to see her coming. When ever a stray animal showed up at the church she spent all of her spare time to care for them and also spent her own money to take an injured stray cat to the vet. Brooke has a loving heart towards all animals. She goes above and beyond to care for them. She is very trustworthy and dependable, a good Christian lady.”
