Brad can care for
Availability
My services are designed to fit seamlessly into both your pet's routine and my professional life. My priority is always your pet’s safety and well-being. * **Standard Overnight Stays & Drop-In Visits:** I am available for in-home overnight stays, drop-in visits, and walks. For my standard overnight pet sitting rate, I require a window of 4-5 hours per day to go out most days to work uber/doordash. I am always mindful of your pet's needs and provide regular updates. If your pet requires constant care, I am available at a higher rate. This service ensures I am at the home 22-24 hours out of the day. Due to sanitary concerns, I am not able to have pets sleep in the same bed with me. However, I am more than happy to have them sleep in a separate bed or other arrangement within the same room. I encourage you to book well in advance, as my schedule fills up quickly.

About Brad E.
Communication
Skills
Safety, trust & environment
I don't have pets over at my home. I prefer to have clear instructions of expectations typed or written out. I have a petsitter form that I can share. I want to do an excellent job so clear communication of expectations is important. From my petsitting experience, I follow the instructions and protocol each pet owner gives me. This includes use of a doggy door if available, best walking practices, making sure pets don't run out when entering/exiting, feeding routines, etc.
Information Brad E. would like to know about your pet
If the dog has any unruly or aggressive behaviors or if the dog is difficult to manage while on a walk due to seeing wildlife/other animals, I want to know about this ahead of time. If there is anything else I need to be aware of, I would like that communicated to me as well.
A typical day
I like to use toys and games that the owners provide, especially if it involves throwing a toy and having the dog run to retrieve it. I like the activities to be ones that the dog is already familiar with if possible. I usually just stick to simple walking paths for a calm, peaceful walk.

Reliable, Caring, and Trustworthy
Pet care experience
I grew up having dogs, so I have a lot of experience taking care of them and walking them. I also have experience petsitting cats. With lots of petsits completed, I bring a wealth of experience to every booking. I have been actively petsitting since early 2023, and my first housesit was in 2016. I have a genuine passion for caring for a wide variety of pets—from dogs and cats to wonderful companions like birds, fish, or other small animals. I balance my time to provide the best possible care for your pets. I typically require a window of 4-5 hours per day to work uber/doordash/etc and I coordinate my schedule to ensure your pets are well-cared for. I am also available for constant care (being out no more than 2 hours per day) for a higher rate. *Please note that due to sanitary concerns and the potential for sleep disruption, I am not able to have pets sleep in the same bed as me. It's totally fine if they sleep in the same room as me in their own separate bed, but if it's required that they sleep in the same bed as me, then we are not a good fit. * To ensure a seamless experience, I kindly ask that all pets in your home are included in the booking details. This helps me tailor my care and pricing to fit all of your pets’ needs accordingly. Please be upfront before booking of the expected schedule/routine of your pet(s). While I have experience administering medication to pets, I am not comfortable performing injections or administering oral medication directly into a pet’s mouth via syringe (pilling and mixing liquid meds into food are fine). When you book with me, you can expect a completely positive experience. I provide a petsitter info form to gather all the specific details on medications, meals, routines, and more. This helps ensure that your pet's routine is followed closely, giving you peace of mind. I am currently available for petsitting in the Brooklyn and greater NYC area, and my travels have also allowed me to also meet wonderful owners and pets in Arkansas, Missouri, Arizona, Tennessee, Virginia, Pennsylvania, and California! I look forward to meeting you and your furry friends!

Reviews
5 stars to Brad. He was always on time and offered frequent updates to his sitting. A big factor is this situation is trust. And I completely trust Brad. Highly recommend
One of the best sitters there is! Lots of photos and my dog is so happy when he sits for me!
Brad did a great job watching Reggie. Kept us updated with photos and texts. Took the time to make sure our requests were fulfilled. I will use Brad in the future.
This was our very first time using Rover, and as extremely overprotective dog parents, we were definitely nervous. But Brad was absolutely amazing from start to finish. He eased our minds with daily updates, complete with photos and videos that showed just how well our dog was doing! We also had a Fi tracker on his collar and it was so reassuring to see how many walks and steps he was getting. Brad took him out so often, even more than our normal routine! Our dog occasionally gets so excited that he’ll throw up if he hasn’t eaten in a while, and when it happened, Brad immediately texted us, cleaned it up, and made sure he ate and drank after. His communication was quick, calm, and thoughtful, which helped us feel totally at ease. It was clear our dog was incredibly well cared for — he got plenty of walks, playtime with his toys, and lots of attention. Honestly, he looked sad when Brad left! Brad also left our home neat and spotless, which we really appreciated. We feel like we hit the jackpot with Brad. We couldn’t have asked for anyone better to take care of our fur baby, and we’d recommend him to absolutely anyone. We hope to book with him again!
