Brooke
CSM, Safety Coordinator
Brooke has been with us since the doors opened in 2019. She will most likely be the voice you hear when you call and will remember your name, your pet’s name, and what you were here for the last time you were in. Her passion lies within client/patient relationships and making you and your pet feel right at home. She is an Orlando, Florida native and moved to be closer to her family here in North Carolina. Brooke’s four furry boys, Quincy, Drayco, JP, and Snuggles, keep her hands full at all times. She doesn’t mind because with her full hands came a full heart. Brooke can’t wait to learn about how she can support you and your furry friend(s).
