Brooke & Harry Need Our Help!

We don’t usually post things like this here on BIPS, but we wanted to share something important. Brooke and her guinea pig, Harry, need our support.

They’ve finally been approved for a safe place to live, but they need help covering the upfront costs to move in. Even a small donation can make a big difference, and if you’re unable to donate, simply sharing this fundraiser helps more than you know!

Let’s come together and support Brooke and Harry as they take this next step. Thank you all!

🐾 Guess Who’s Back? 🐾

Big news — Brooke is dusting off the clippers and giving grooming another go! ✂️ After a year-long break, she’s finally found the courage to ease back into doing what she loves.

This is her second dog back — the adorable Pablo! And so far, she’s actually enjoying being back in action. While she won’t be tackling her old 15-20 dog days, she’s happy to take on a few pups here and there.

✨ Heads up: Brooke might be a little slower than her usual record times, but that’s only because she’s pouring extra love and care into every groom. She’s all about taking her time to make sure each dog leaves looking and feeling their absolute best!

📢 Disclaimer: Brooke won’t be returning to the grooming side of BIPS full-time. She’s still focused on her new path at Beenleigh Pet Motel, but she’ll continue offering other BIPS services like pet sitting, photography, and more. 🐾📸

If you’d like your furry friend pampered by your old but new groomer Brooke, contact Beenleigh Pet Motel and request her by name!

📞 Call 3200 5764 to book.

🌪️ BIPS Weather Update: Our First Cyclone Together! 🐾

Here at BIPS, we’re bracing for our first cyclone experience together! While Brooke may have slightly over-prepared, Harry is convinced she went a little too far with her emergency cyclone kit. 🙄🐹

Of course, cuddle security was a top priority—so alongside Brooke’s cuddles, Harry now has Sully from Monsters Inc., Iron Man, AND an octopus keeping him company. 🧸🤖🐙 (Because, obviously, we must be prepared for every possible scenario!) 😂

Did you know? 🤓🌪️
📌 Cyclones in Australia spin clockwise in the Southern Hemisphere. 🌀
📌 The strongest ever recorded in Australia was Cyclone Mahina (1899), with winds over 280km/h! 😱
📌 Animals can sense changes in air pressure before a cyclone hits—many will seek shelter, become restless, or act out of character before the storm arrives. 🐾🌪️

For now, we’ll be monitoring the situation from our cozy spot, all snuggled up. Stay safe, everyone! 💕🏡

A Story That’s Important to Share – Meet Darius, My Soul Dog in Another Life

Let me introduce you to Darius, a young German Shepherd cross who quickly became one of my favorites. From the moment I met him, I felt this deep connection—like we had known each other in another life.

Darius was originally brought in to be a guard dog for his family. However, they soon went on a long holiday, leaving him at the pet motel for nearly two months. I first met him during my job interview, and let’s just say… he was scared and scary. He showed his teeth to everyone, didn’t trust a soul, and was on high alert at all times. I had to be extra vigilant around him.

But over time, something changed. I spent a lot of time bonding with him, gaining his respect, and doing small things to make his stay more positive. Slowly but surely, he started to trust me. By the end of his stay, he was a completely different dog—barely barking at strangers, no longer baring his teeth, and instead greeting me with excited jumps and endless kisses every time I walked in.

Darius has such an amazing personality, and it just took time, patience, and the right approach to bring it out. It had nothing to do with breed—just effort, understanding, and proper care. I won’t get into that debate, but it really proves how much a dog’s environment and upbringing shape who they become.

His owners were blown away by his transformation. They saw the kind of dog he could truly be and were beyond proud of his progress.

What I learned about Darius?
🐾 He has incredible recall and listens so well.
🐾 He’s a total lovebug—cuddles and kisses are his thing.
🐾 He’s obsessed with toys, hydro baths, and being blow-dried.
🐾 Ice blocks? Absolute favorite treat!

Darius, you’ll always have a special place in my heart. Love you, little man! ❤️🐾

🚨 Grooming Services Update 🚨

Hey everyone, just another reminder as I’ve been receiving an influx of calls, texts, and inquiries—BIPS is no longer offering grooming services.

🔹 BIPS Grooming is now officially closed for bookings indefinitely.

I sincerely appreciate all the love and support over the years—it’s been an incredible journey, and I’m so grateful for each and every one of you. 🐾💛

For your future grooming needs, I highly recommend Beenleigh Pet Motel—not only do they offer the best pet care stays, but they also provide top-quality grooming, including cat grooming! Plus, you’ll see a familiar face and have some of the best groomers caring for your pets. ✂️

https://www.petmotel.com.au/

Thank you for being a part of this chapter. Who knows, I may end up picking up the clippers there soon enough! (I still need more of a break, but we never know—keeping options open!)

Warm regards,
Brooke 🌻

Daycare vibes with Apollo! 🐶✨ This boy has the weirdest sleeping positions—seriously, how is that comfy? 😆💤

Weird Fact about Staffies: 🐾💡
Staffies have an unusually high pain tolerance, which is why they’re known for being tough—but don’t let that fool you! They’re total softies at heart who crave cuddles and attention. 🥰🐶

Apollo definitely keeps us entertained with his goofy ways! ❤️

During Coco’s visit, she got to meet a very special part of Brooke’s world—her baby, Harry! 🐹👑

Coco didn’t try to eat him (phew! 😆), but she was a little bit unsure of this tiny new friend. They’re off to a slow but sweet start on their friendship journey! 🐾💛

Between us… 🤫 Harry secretly rules this kingdom, and Coco is quickly learning who’s boss! 👑🐹

Sharing some more special moments because Brooke is absolutely loving her new role! ☀️🐾

Even with new adventures, she’s still making plenty of furiends along the way—spreading joy, cuddles, and creating memories with every paw print. 🐶❤️

🚨 URGENT UPDATES ON PET SITTING 🚨

Hey BIPS family,

As we move into the busier months, I wanted to share some important updates regarding pet sitting bookings and my updated policies. These changes are necessary due to an increase in cancellations and having to turn others away. I appreciate your understanding and support! ❤️

📅 Peak Season Periods:

Peak seasons are the busiest times of the year, typically aligning with school holidays and major public holidays:
• Summer Holidays: December through January
• Easter Break: April
• Winter Holidays: June–July
• Spring Holidays: September

Additionally, some weekends during public holidays may also be considered peak periods. Here are key public holidays for Queensland:
• Australia Day (January 26)
• Valentine’s Day (February 14)
• Good Friday & Easter Monday (March/April)
• ANZAC Day (April 25)
• Labour Day (First Monday in May)
• King’s Birthday (Second Monday in June)
• Ekka People’s Day (August – Brisbane area only)
• Christmas Day (December 25)
• Boxing Day (December 26)
• New Year’s Day (January 1)

🚨 Key Policy Updates:

1. Longer Booking Lead Times
• During peak seasons, bookings are often filled 6–12 months in advance. I highly recommend booking early to secure your spot.

2. Pricing Update – $50 Per Day/Night
• The rate is $50 per day/night, starting from the time you (the client) leave your home.
• A new day rate begins 24 hours from the time you leave. For example:
• You leave your home at 10 AM Tuesday = Day rate covers until 10 AM Wednesday.
• After 10 AM Wednesday, a new day/night rate applies.

3. 🚫 No More Deposits – Here’s Why:
I’ve made the decision to remove deposits because of repeated issues:
• Many people were paying a deposit just to secure dates but then canceling the entire booking within days—without notifying me.
• I often only find out when I message them to confirm details—because they forgot to tell me they canceled!
• As a result, I’ve had to turn away many clients, especially my regulars, who genuinely needed the spot.

So, moving forward, bookings will be confirmed without a deposit, but please be mindful that last-minute cancellations impact everyone.

🛑 Updated Cancellation Policy:
• If you cancel, $50 of the total booking fee will be kept due to the inability to fill your spot.
• If you give me 7 days’ notice, the full payment made will be kept (special circumstances can apply).
• In the event of a death in the family or an emergency, a full or partial refund may be amended at BIPS’ discretion.
• If applicable, a refund of the remaining balance will be processed within 7 days of your cancellation, provided you submit your bank account details (this only applies if more than 8 days’ notice is given).

5. Public Holiday Weekends
• Public holiday weekends are high-demand periods, but I do not classify them as full peak months—only as busy weekends. Book early if you need a spot during these times!

💬 Why These Changes?

Unfortunately, due to an increasing number of cancellations, I’ve had to turn many clients away, often long-term or regulars. These changes help ensure fairness for everyone while allowing me to manage bookings more effectively.

🐾 A Little Reminder from Me:

I’m only one person with many talents and qualifications, and your animals get all my love and care—but unfortunately, I can’t be cloned for everyone (hahaha!) 😄 So, I appreciate your understanding and patience when booking with me.

Thank you so much for your continued support! 💛 Your understanding allows me to provide the best service possible while keeping things fair for everyone.

Regards,
Brooke’s Inspired Pet Services.

✨ LITTLE UPDATE – BIPS PET SITTING ✨

We’re now taking bookings until the end of 2025, and spots are filling up fast! We’re officially opening our books to both regulars and new clients again.

🐾 Price Update: There has been a small increase of $5, making our rates $50 per day/night.

🐾 Peak Season Bookings: For busy periods like school holidays and special holidays, please book at least 3 months in advance. Some dates are already booked 6-12 months ahead, so availability is limited!

🐾 Payment & Booking Changes:
✔ No deposits anymore – full payment is required upfront (unless arranged with Brooke for large bookings).
✔ We are no longer using Square, so all payments will be made via direct deposit.

If you’d like to secure your spot or have any questions, send us a message! 🐶💛
