Your Dog's New Best Friend is Here!
Pet care experience
Since I was 8 years old, dogs have been a big part of my life. Over the years, I have had the pleasure of owning 10 dogs and caring for a total of 7 dogs while their owners were away. My friends say I'm a "Dog Whisperer."

I am a co-owner of a dog rescue shelter in Madison Wisconsin. I met Brad several years ago through a friend we have through high school. I told him about a program we had that allows people to bring home our older dogs, and enjoy them during the Christmas holidays. He registered immediately! Over the course of about three years, not only would he take in a dog every Christmas, but he would also swing by unannounced with other friends just to hang out in the playroom with the dogs! It's not too often you meet someone who has a real special affinity for animals like he does. There are dogs who have not seen him in a year or so immediately go into zoomy Mode when they discover he's there for a visit! I take credit for getting him to register here as a pet sitter because it is just second nature to him and he is a great guy!
I own a rescue dog who had a very difficult background and came from an abusive Home before I adopted her. She sometimes is very shy and it's hard for me to get her to interact with other people or strangers. Within the first five minutes of Brad being in the room she literally would not leave his side! Her behavior seem to change over the course of the first three visits. It's absolutely amazing to see how animals respond to him so immediately! The guy is absolutely hilarious as well! I might look more forward to his visits than my dog!🤣🤣🤣
I've only met one dog whisperer in my life and that for sure is Brad. I own two dogs and both have extremely different personalities. One can be very moody and down while the other is extremely hyper. Not only was Brad able to connect with both of them less than five minutes, once he left, the dogs waited by the door for hours expecting him to come back! A few times I was lucky enough to schedule him to come, the dogs knew the sound of his car when he pulled up and would immediately start to bark and get anxious for him to get in the house. You definitely can't go wrong booking this guy to take care of your lovable pets as he clearly has a connection especially with dogs. Book this guy when you get a chance. Your dogs will thank you!
Brad Starks is the BEST Pet siitter and overall super guy. My Dog Ollie adores him and Brad has such a calm demeanor. Alweays on time and always with a smile! I highly recommend Brad Starks!!
