Pack Leader Plus

Our beagle mix Louie was a rescue and gets very excited around other dogs. This made it difficult to walk him in our neighborhood since he would want to stop at every dog to sniff. We called Brooke to have her evaluate his behavior. After Louie’s initial introduction to Brooke and her pack of friendly dogs, Louie was starting to learn the polite way to say hello.
We decided to take him to doggy daycare so he could run around & expend all his energy and it went great! The best part was that Brooke took the time to explain what his behavior was during the day and what he might need to work on when he comes home. The fuzzy cam where I can see my dog playing with the pack throughout the day is also an added benefit. Louie came home exhausted and was so tired from playing all day!
The cost of the daycare is reasonable, especially with the included taxi service. Brooke was very accommodating on setting up a time that worked for me & my schedule.
I look forward to the next time Louie is able to visit Brooke & Pack Leader Plus.
I highly recommend Brooke’s service!

I cannot say enough good things about Brooke and Pack Leader Plus. She is always willing to help out whenever needed, even on short notice and under special circumstances.
Our adopted rescue dog adores her, which makes us feel great about leaving him in her care. Not everyone can handle the extra attention that rescue dogs often need, and she certainly «gets» him.
The fuzzy cams she sends provide that extra peace of mind that any dog parent would appreciate. I know that my boy is in good hands when I can see the way she interacts with him when I am not there.
She lets us know upfront what the charges for service will be, and has always been professional and trustworthy. Peace of mind is often hard to come by, but Brooke certainly provides that every time she cares for our dog.

Brooke Breer the owner of Pack Leader Plus is a liar. Feel free to skip to my pros and cons below if you do not want to read the long review.
Brooke agreed to walk my dog from Tuesday to Friday last week as part of her In Home Pet Sitting with Walking Package. According to her web-​site and according to our conversation, the price is $ 25 for 30 minutes of walking the dog. I didn t need the additional services listed in the In Home Pet Sitting with Walking Package just the walking service for the entire week that we verbally agreed to. I was not feeling well on Tuesday morning, I called in sick and stayed home to sleep. Brooke didn t know I was home… she assumed the house was empty. Brooke did show up to walk my dog when she said she would. However, she only walked him for 4 minutes… enough to take a video that she emailed me that day! Then I receive a text message five minutes after she leaves and collects the pay check for the week, stating the following, We walked for about 20 minutes. I soon called her asking her why she lied to me. She admitted her mistake and apologized with several excuses, one being that she was afraid my dog s scar would open as it was located in the neck area where the collar was wrapped and he s a puller and because it was too hot outside (not impossible to do at 8:20 am). It was a hot day and he does have a scar. However, she had been with my dog the day before and has taken care of my dog for 2 years now at her Doggie Day Care so she knows him and his pulling tendencies. She knew the type of weather we would have on Tuesday morning and she knew the kind of condition my dog was in. She offered to walk him at 10:30 am to make it up to me but only because I had caught her lying… she never once offered go give me my money back. What I didn t understand is that it was only going to be hotter and a 30 minute or 20 minute walk was not going to happen especially if it didn t happen 2 hours before.
PROS: Brooke was gracious and flexible when my baby was born nearly 4 months ago and collected my dog upon my text message from the hospital (without getting paid first) and brought him back upon our return (and paid her then). She taught us and our dog how to behave around the baby and about dog-​baby boundaries which I appreciate. Also, my dog used to love going to her day care which I now feel bad that she deceived me and we won t be using her services any longer.
CONS: She is so money hungry she nickel and dimes you. Not sure she does what she advertises. The extra $ 5 a day for a 30 minute pack/walk…whose to say she only walks them for 5 minutes, enough to get a video in her fuzzy cam and email it to her customers. Her actions versus what her website state are in conflict also: The Complimentary Pet Transportation in her Pet Taxi Service. Not so. She is now charging $ 5 each way. Willing to pay a business variable costs but why is she falsely advertising? BEWARE of what she claims to do and what she advertises versus what she actually does. Up until a year ago, she used to charge per night in her Doggie DayCare (as other hotels do… human and dog). Now she charges per day even if on check-​out the dog is only with her until 9am, she ll charge you for the entire day.
