I've always been a friend people turn to for taking care of their animals while they're away. I have a client who is gone quite often and care for her animals several times a month. During the work-week, I still offer to stop in on my brother's two dogs. Animals are a priority in my life!

Safety, trust & environment

I've prioritized my leash training skills and am very accustomed to going on many walks per day as well as providing tasks to keep dogs happy and healthy.

Information Brad D. would like to know about your pet

I don't have any preferences as far as types or breeds. Any special care or habits a dog may have we can discuss and make arrangements for. If there are any safety concerns obviously concerning aggressive behavior or triggers I would need to discuss those further.

A typical day

I enjoy taking them for walks on the many trails and neighborhoods in town and have a list of my favorites. If the weather permits I also enjoy a beach day and have a list of favorite dog beaches as well. I've been known to take them for a jog as well whether I am running with them or for well-trained dogs, alongside my bicycle.

Dog-care + training experience!

Pet care experience

(if in need of a "constant care" visit, please mention that in your request so we can discuss that rate). From childhood, I have always been responsible for animals - caretaking both family pets, and those of friends. I officially began taking clients two years ago. I have experience with puppies and senior dogs as well. Nothing compares to the feeling of making sure a pet is well-cared for and happy.

Brad is very responsible and respectful. He did a great job with my pets and even had to handle an unexpected minor house emergency. I highly recommend Brad.

Brad was awesome and stayed at my place while I went on a trip. He sent multiple photos and videos each day so I had peace of mind. He even stayed an extra night when my flights were delayed and I missed my connection home. Highly recommend using him for your fur children while you are away.
