Valuing Animal's Needs (VAN'S)

Pet care experience

Before starting my own business 5 years ago, Van's Dog Walking & Pet Care, I worked at a large doggy day care and boarding facility with as many as 70 dogs per day. It provided me invaluable experience with a wide range of breeds and temperaments. That combined with two decades of experience in customer service has resulted in an extremely happy client base. I consistently form personable relationships with my clients. I do my best to keep open lines of communication and am more than happy to change things up when asked of me. The success of my business is of great importance to me and is directly tied to how I treat you and your dog. Simply put, I place your and your dog's best interests at the forefront of all that I do.

Brad was great with my pup Jackson who was so comfortable that he started giving Brad hugs on day 2 ! Brad is very responsible and reliable – I can greatly recommend him to look after your precious pup/s regardless of age/needs ! Brad also sent me daily updates and pictures which were very much appreciated. I will definitely be using Brad as my regular walker ...

Brad was incredible. I actually clicked on Brad's profile in error because my dog's are both female rescues and usually don't warm up to men. My male neighbors whom the dogs know have tried to help me out in the past but when they came into the house and tried to put on their leases they would cower in the corner and they never felt comfortable enough to perform the duties expected on a walk. Brad contacted me immediately and when I explained I was hesitant to hire a male he was very respectful in accepting my explanation but said he has worked with many rescues so I decided to give him a try. Best decision ever. He knew just how to approach the dogs to gain their confidence and they are obviously very comfortable with him because their elimination reports were outstanding. I am out most of the day and it gives me such peace of mind to know they are with someone who cares about them and gives them attention during the day. Also, Brad has 5 years of dog walking experience which made me comfortable giving a stranger access to my home. I would recommend Brad to anyone needing a dog walker.

I highly recommend Brad. He's been taking care of our 2 cats since we moved to Charlotte. I can tell they receive plenty of attention while we are away. He often sends us pictures of them. He's very responsive to texts. Knowing our cats are well taken care of while we are away from them has made our transition to Charlotte much easier.

I get to know my dogs really well. I've developed distinct "traditions" with several of my pups that they enjoy. Whether it's taking your dog to their favorite spot by the lake or playing "catch the dog's tail," I find different games to play them while on walks or at your house. Of course, I'm always up for fetch, tug of war and award winning bum scratches!
