A little family backstory

Welcome to Cornerbrooks Pet Bed and Breakfast, where we are more than pet caretakers—we are your pet's extended family. I'm thrilled to share our journey with you.

In 1999, my amazing mom, Judith Brooks, and her husband, Cor, brought Cornerbrooks to life. They created a place where pets could feel safe, loved, and nurtured while their parents were away. When my family and I took over in 2008, our mission was to continue this legacy of providing a home away from home for your furry loved ones.

My mom's dedication to this business was genuinely inspiring, and when she retired, she entrusted me with the responsibility of carrying on her passion. Even at 77 years young, she still cheers us on from the sidelines, and her love for animals reminds us of why we do what we do.

Cornerbrooks Pet Bed and Breakfast is more than just a pet boarding facility—it embodies my personal aspirations and belief of what loving pet care should look like. Animals have always been dear to me and integral to my life since my earliest memories. Our own family is blessed to include a dachshund, a Pekingese, and a charming round-faced cat, Velma.

Creativity and a robust entrepreneurial spirit drive me to constantly seek ways to improve the experiences of our guests and their pet parents. Whether it's coming up with new entertaining activities, gourmet treats, or personalized handmade gifts, we always give 100%. Our team can attest to my passion for new ideas and creations that bring happiness to our guests.

At Cornerbrooks, we provide personalized and loving care to our furry guests. We understand that we can never replace their parents, but we are overflowing with positive energy and are committed to meeting their social, physical, and sensory needs. We aim to make every pet's stay with us a tail-wagging adventure!

But none of this would be possible without our dedicated and compassionate team. Together, we strive to focus on each guest's physical and mental well-being. Their passion and unwavering commitment make me proud to say, "Yay, Us! High five!"

So whether your pet needs a cozy place to sleep, a fun-filled day of play, or simply some extra love and attention, Cornerbrooks Pet Bed and Breakfast is the solution you've been looking for. We are here to provide your furry family members with the best care possible because we understand they deserve nothing less. Welcome to our Cornerbrooks family!

Auntie Jacklyn-Client Experience Specialist

"Who loves animals? I do! When I was growing up, we had pets. Both cats and dogs of various breeds. A shepherd cross, a cocker spaniel, and even two precious Pitbulls. I tear up when I think of them today. They passed due to old age but were very impacting on my life. I now have a beautiful Boxer-American Bulldog that my husband and I adopted from the Humane Society. To us, he is our son, even though he is very furry. We adore Louis, and he does everything with us.

I joined Cornerbrooks back in 2015, after moving here from Ontario with my husband, who was posted with the military. Since coming to Cornerbrooks, I have grown such an appreciation for the positive impact that animals play in the lives of everyone. Animals truly grow our hearts in unique ways.

I have training in Pet First Aid, CPR, Dog Language, and I am very knowledgeable of pet play styles. There is a lot to be said for understanding the importance of dog language. The fact is that they have a language of their very own, and if we stay attuned, we can learn so much more about them."

Auntie Sienna

Sienna’s first became a Cornerbrooks Auntie in 2008, when our family took over Cornerbrooks from my mom. She dove in with both feet, excited to be involved in every way. She is our incredible daughter and all-around fabulous Auntie.

Currently, she is studying Environmental Restoration.

Through the years, Sienna

has worked with us caring for guests, throwing pet parties, renovating and helping come up with great new fun ideas. Sienna is trained in first aid and CPR.

Sienna's pride and joy is her little golden Pekinese named Juliet.

The two of them have a special bond and are inseparable. Together they go hiking, kayaking, and camping. They have gone on many amazing adventures together. What a duo!

Her warm heart and kind spirit bring comfort and warmth to our guests.

Regardless of the breed, she sees each guest as an individual and takes the time to get to know everyone. She is attentive, maintains a watchful eye over our guest's needs, and tirelessly works to make their visit the best it can be.

Auntie Royce

"My name is Royce, and no, I'm surprisingly not named after the car! I am a full-time air weapons system technician in the RCAF And employed here in cold lake working on the guns. I am also a part-time Auntie here at Cornerbrooks. Despite what they say, diamonds are not a girl's best friend unless your fur baby's name is Diamond - then I'm wrong! I have a dog of my own, who goes with me everywhere. She's my best buddy. I came to Cornerbrooks by happenstance. Have you ever seen something and thought wow, this was made for me? That's how I felt when I saw the ad for becoming an Auntie, and let me tell you, I wouldn't have it any other way. They say that if you love what you do, you never work a day in your life. I often get asked how I can have two jobs and still have so much energy, and the answer is simple - being an Auntie doesn't feel like work at all. The team here is more like family; even on the coldest days, the warmth of going to work as an Auntie makes it all worth it. My favourite part of being an Auntie is when we get new clients, who, just like people, can be shy at first, but with much love and a few treats here and there, we get full-body tail wags and excited slobbery kisses. Each animal is different, and I love watching their personalities shine through with each visit. We get to know them by name, and with each memory, they leave paw prints on our hearts and smiles on our faces (and a little slobber too)"

Auntie Brooklyn

" Hi, I'm Auntie Brooklyn, and I would love to tell you a little about myself!

One of my greatest joys is going on walks and adventures with our guests. The fresh air, stunning views, and the company of furry friends make every outing an experience to remember.

I love outdoor activities, so perhaps it's no surprise that I also have a little hobby of collecting rocks. :) It may seem like an unusual pastime, but there's something special about searching for unique stones and marvelling at the natural beauty they hold. It's another way to immerse myself in nature and appreciate the little wonders around us.

I've always had a passion for working with animals, which led me to become a veterinary office assistant, which deepened my understanding of pet healthcare.

I worked in this respect for a time but then switched my approach. For four years, I then worked as a professional groomer at PetSmart in Calgary, learning how to keep furry friends looking great while also providing important grooming and hygiene services.

On a side note, this isn't related to animals, but I worked as a custodian with DND for a year. Although it didn't fuel my passion, it was a good experience that taught me discipline, attention to detail, and the importance of maintaining a clean and safe environment.

I'm thrilled to be part of the Cornerbrooks family and look forward to ensuring your fur-babies have a pawtastic stay with us!

Feeling loved, safe and appreciated during their stay at our cozy pet bed and breakfast.

I feel so lucky to be creating beautiful memories together!"

Uncle Brandon

Introducing our beloved Uncle Brandon!

From a young age, Uncle Brandon found solace and joy in the company of dogs, even though his own home life posed challenges. Despite his parents' initial reluctance, having dogs in his life brought him immense happiness and taught him about the positive impact that these furry companions can have.

Destiny stepped in when Tango, a rescue dog, entered Uncle Brandon's life, forever changing it for the better. Tango became more than just a loyal companion; he became a catalyst for Uncle Brandon's transformation. Inspired by this incredible bond, Uncle Brandon now provides a loving home for seven rescues and purebred dogs.

But Uncle Brandon's affection for animals doesn't stop at dogs. From cats to horses, and even cattle, he has a tender spot for every creature. Working with rescues and rehabilitating animals has become his true calling. He understands firsthand the comfort and reassurance that dogs can bring during challenging times, and he aims to be that unwavering source of solace for every furry friend under his care.

With three years of experience as a kennel attendant and manager in Southern Alberta, Uncle Brandon has honed his expertise in pet care. He has also worked as a dairy farmhand and a housekeeping supervisor in British Columbia, showcasing his unwavering dedication to providing exceptional care for both animals and their human caretakers.

To Uncle Brandon, his dogs aren't just pets; they are his family, and they even have the privilege of sleeping beside him every night. Cherishing each precious moment spent with his furry companions, Uncle Brandon always prioritizes their happiness and well-being.

We feel incredibly fortunate to have Uncle Brandon as part of our tight-knit family here at Cornerbrooks Pet Bed and Breakfast. His relentless commitment to the well-being of animals and his ability to foster meaningful connections with our guests make him a true gem.
