Pet care experience
I've been taking care of and raising dogs practically my whole life, ever since my family brought home our first Dachshund when I was just a little kid. And when I finally got to adopt my very own furry friend from a local rescue group as an adult, it was a dream come true! Over the past decade, I've soaked up all the knowledge I could get my hands on, from dog training classes to endless research, all to make sure I give my energetic Border Collie pup the best life possible. Now, I can't wait to spread that love and know-how to awesome pups like yours!
Reviews
Thank you again for watching our dogs and keeping them happy and safe while we were away! We appreciate you very much Brad!
Brad was organized and experienced. He asked great questions so he could provide the best care for my pup. Abby liked him immediately , bonus ~ he brought jerky treats. I look forward to working with him again
Appreciated Brad initiating a meet and greet prior to services. He was prompt, and had a genuine interest in providing the same care my dog was use to. Thanks Brad ~ Abby had a good ol time!!
Brad did a wonderful job checking in on our dog whilst we traveled. This was the first time we have left our dog in our home and Brad helped me overcome my anxiety! He followed all of our instructions and gave us daily updates/pictures which we loved. I have already booked him for our next trip!
About Brad C.
Communication
Skills
Safety, trust & environment
I understand that every dog is unique, and some may be more or less trusting than others. I make it a priority to meet your dog where they're at, respecting their individual needs and preferences. I treat each pup as if they were my own and advocate for them whenever we're out and about, ensuring they feel safe and secure.
Information Brad C. would like to know about your pet
To ensure your pet feels right at home, understanding their preferences and unique quirks is key. Whether it's their established routine, specific feeding times, favorite toys or activities, or even their preferred spot for scratches and pets, I'm all ears. My aim is for your pet to feel as comfortable with me as they do with you, making our visits relaxing, safe, and packed with excitement and adventure. Additionally, knowing any training or commands you're working on helps me reinforce those during our time together.
A typical day
I'm an active person and more than willing to keep your dog as active as they want to be. If your dog enjoys playing fetch or tug-of-war with a toy, count me in! During our walks, I love discovering new and alternative routes to explore, giving your dog a sense of adventure while also stimulating their mind as much as their body. My goal is to help them release their daily energy so that you come home to a more relaxed and contented pup.

Availability
I currently work remotely from home, which gives me the ultimate flexibility to be available for your dog as needed. It's pretty common for me to use my lunch break to enjoy a nice long walk with them.
