Trustworthy & Reliable Pet Sitter!

Pet care experience

Over a decade of pet care experience. When I was growing up we always had 2-3 dogs and 1-2 cats at a time. We used to foster rescue huskies while we helped them find homes. We also had lizards, snakes, fish, ferrets, hamsters, and all kinds of pet animals. My Eagle Scout project was the total renovation of a ferret shelter & boarding facility where I spent summers volunteering. Our entire family was raised to love animals and treat them with respect. My twin sister is a Doctor of Veterinary medicine and works as an emergency vet. My brother majored in wildlife conservation. For the last 8 years I've cared for my dog, Ceci (pictured). We also own and tend to 10 chickens (guess that makes me a chicken tender)!

Brad is a wonderful pet sitter who takes excellent care of our Maggie-Moo.. Right off the bat when I first met him I got an excellent first impression. He is very warm and friendly and was great with our pet! When we came home after our week away our Doggie was relaxed and happy. He even cleaned our carpets with his own carpet cleaner and my place was even cleaner from when I left! Daily updates and pictures were awesome. Definitely will be using him again in the future. Thanks from Maggie and Us.:)

Brad was incredible with our two dogs Jax and Roxy who can be a handful at times. He provided updates and pictures and I honestly think our dogs were disappointed to see us walk in the door and not Brad. Can’t wait to have Brad watch them again.

Brad was fantastic! He went above and beyond our expectations. His response to our inquiry was immediate and his communication throughout the entire process was great. He was friendly, professional, and great with our two pups. Any stress we had about leaving our pups was alleviated when Brad sent us pictures and videos of our pups playing outside and enjoying our time away. I highly recommend Brad.

Asked Brad to watch our two dogs over the weekend and he and his wife were incredible with them. He went the extra mile in his attention and care, and our dogs were so happy. Brad is the man!

Safety, trust & environment

Safety, trust, and reliability are my top priorities when caring for your beloved pets. I will meticulously follow your specific instructions to ensure your pet feels comfortable and secure in their familiar surroundings. My goal is to create a nurturing environment, fostering trust and providing personalized care tailored to your pet's needs. From regular check-ins to maintaining a clean and safe space, your pet's well-being is prioritized every step of the way!

Information Brad J. would like to know about your pet

Please let me know ahead of time what special needs or specific behaviors your pet may have which require special attention. This could include walking tendencies (will they pull, how do they react around distractions - vehicles, other cars, animals, etc.), feeding and medication schedules, behaviors such as food/toy guarding, etc. This will help ensure I give the best care to your beloved pet as possible!

A typical day

A typical day begins with greeting your pets with love and care. It starts with ensuring they have fresh food and water, followed by a leisurely walk or playtime in the backyard and/or around the neighborhood. I believe in engaging activities tailored to your pet's preferences, whether it's a game of fetch, a stimulating puzzle, tug-of-war, or simply cuddling on the couch. I will take care to provide plenty of opportunities for them to receive exercise and receive mental stimulation. Throughout the day, I strive to maintain a consistent routine which mimics their usual schedule as closely as possible - including feeding times, bathroom breaks, and nap sessions. I also prioritize safety during any outdoor adventures, ensuring they're always supervised and secure. At the end of the day, I will ensure your pets are settled in comfortably for the night, with fresh water and a cozy sleeping area. My goal is to provide a fun-filled day full of love, laughter, and unforgettable moments for your cherished companions.
