Safety, trust & environment
I believe every pet has their own personality, pace, and needs - and great care starts with curiosity. I take time to understand what makes your dog or cat feel comfortable, confident, and happy. Whether that means slow sniff-walks, structured exercise, quiet companionship, or careful post-surgery routines, I tailor every visit to the animal in front of me. I have experience with dogs of all ages and sizes, including strong pullers and reactive pups. I've safely walked a 110 lb dog who loved to lunge at squirrels, and I'm especially familiar with dachshunds recovering from IVDD surgery. My own dogs - a senior miniature dachshunds and a young terrier mix, have taught me a lot about patience, body language, and adapting care as pets age or health. Safety is always at the center of what I do. Pets are never mixed with animals outside your household, and I use AirTags on every walk for added peace of mind. Every walk and visit comes with a photo and a detailed update, and for multi-day house sits, you'll receive daily check-ins so you always know how things are going. My goal is simple - for you to feel completely confident that your pet is cared for exactly the way you want them cared for. Whether you're a busy professional needing reliable midday walks or a pet parent looking for someone who understands careful handling, I'm here to help your pets feel safe, understood, and loved like family.
Ratings and reviews
Bradley is absolutely fantastic. Our Frenchie Margot is usually shy and cautious around most people but she bonded almost immediately with Bradley and gets so excited for her daily walks. If you have a dog with separation anxiety Bradley is for you. My frenchie bites children, can’t be away from me, and freaks out when luggage is around but Bradley somehow makes all of her fears melt away. Before Bradley came into our lives, Margot would punish us when she didn’t get a walk during the day by refusing to come back into the house and misbehaving. Now that she is back to getting her regular mid day walks, Margot is back to her regular self, as regular as she can be, but still bites children. 10/10. Highly recommend.
This was our first time using a dog walker, and Bradley made the whole experience such a positive one. From the start he was attentive and thorough, taking real care with our dog Kodiak and making sure every walk went smoothly. It's clear he genuinely cares about the dogs and animals he takes care of. We'll definitely be booking with him again and would highly recommend him to anyone looking for a reliable, trustworthy dog walker!
Bradley is fantastic. My little girl was always happy to see him and get belly rubs. I am grateful to have had him.
Speedy communication and took great care of our pooch.
Been having Bradley help walk our girl for over a month now and there isn’t anything bad I could say - he’s available, reliable, and makes time to give her some belly rubs at the end. Very glad to have met a responsible kind friend for her.
Brad is an absolute delight. Goes above and beyond for my pets. Always punctual and ready to tackle any task. A big thank you Brad

Schedule
Pet care is my full-time work, so your dog or cat is never an afterthought in a busy schedule. My days are built around walks, drop ins, and house sits, which means I can offer flexible timing, consistent routines, and the kind of steady presence that helps pets feel secure.
