Information Brad C. would like to know about your pet
Can they be left alone for an hour or two if I go out and do on-site tech support? If I am doing doggy daycare, I do not schedule more than one on-site support session for that day. Some dogs need to be crated, while others are fine just taking a nap without a crate.
A typical day
Here's where we'll take our walks The road I live on is very nice and does not have a lot of traffic. Lots of stuff to sniff, as there are woods nearby along most of the road. Just as much as walks, I like to take the crew to the dog park. I verify with dog owners that a trip to the local dog park is OK before heading out. Your dog's sleeping arrangement They can sleep where they want, or in a provided kennel if that's desired. Although I'm not personally into kenneling dogs as a training technique, some like the safe surroundings of a kennel when they sleep. Time I'll spend with your dog I work from home, doing tech support. So, I am usually home 4+ hours of the workday, doing either remote support or marketing in my office. I have special dog pads, raised and otherwise, in my office for dogs that want to hang with me and get petted while I work.

Pet care experience
To dogs, I am Hugh Hefner. I work from home, so I'm around most of the time for the dog/s. Webcam available upon request. About this sitter: I work in technical support and do video editing. I am able to do both dog care and tech support because most of my support is remote. Why I love dog sitting: My folks told me that I loved dogs since I was a baby. I'm fearless of them then and now, and that helps one love dogs. I was always the one, when visiting friends and family with dogs, that just went right up to the dog and let it do what it wanted. I had cats growing up and in young adulthood, because they were less work. Boy was I missing out. As a dog owner and sitter, I'm very indulgent and I am uniquely skilled at getting dogs to relax and get along with each other. About my yard I have a spacious fenced backyard. 3000 sq fenced in area. It's not the type of fence that'll keep a determined beagle from escaping underneath, but I keep an eye on the dogs I care for when they're outside. Although the terrain is kind of blah, there are lots of smells, because there's a woods with a marsh just beyond the edge of the fence. My experience administering medication I am very comfortable administering meds, even shots. I am the only one in my family that can 'pill' a cat.
Reviews
Brad was wonderful with our pup! He sent photos of activities throughout the day, from a visit to Home Depot to a romp at the dog park. It was muddy outside, and he took the time to rinse off our pup’s paws afterwards, which other daycares/sitters largely don’t do. Thanks, Brad!
Brad was great with our puppy! He took him to the dog park and sent pics throughout the day. I appreciate his attention and care for pups!
We were so grateful that Brad was able to take Nika for couple of days once again! This time Nika had a little bit of a health issue but Brad handled everything perfectly and promptly took her to the vet and kept us posted the whole time, and she started feeling better basically the same day so we came back to a happy healthy puppy and she was excited to go back home but also sad to leave her favorite friend Brad. :)
Brad is great! It was our first time boarding our puppy and we were worried but as soon as Nika and Brad met each other, we instantly felt better and were able to go on our trip knowing that our puppy is well taken care of! Brad was very accommodating, we had great communication - our flights were rescheduled and delayed several times and he was so patient and so helpful, we are very grateful! We know that Nika felt great while she was in Brad's house, she loved running around in the fenced backyard and going on an adventure to Petco and just chilling on the couch watching TV together! Brad was sending us pictures of her and this was perfect - nothing makes you feel better than seeing your puppy playing and having fun when you're far away! Brad was also giving Nika some challenging treats semi-trapped inside a container and she loved figuring those out for the first time. We are absolutely happy we found Brad and we would love to ask him to take care of Nika in the future.
