Walk or Run! Fenced Yard! Love Dogs

Pet care experience

Hello! Thank you for your consideration in choosing me as a dog sitter or walker. I have owned dogs of various breeds and sizes over the past 20 years, but have most experience with male sporting dogs. Regardless of your dog's size or gender, I will promise to take care of your pet as if it were my own. I am an active person and look forward to taking your dog on walks or runs in the redwoods, along the beach, or just around the neighborhood! I have taken courses at Monterey Bay Dog Training Club and keep a doggy first aid kit in my vehicle at all times. Because I know dog's diets can vary, I will not feed your pet anything other than what you have recommended. If you are interested in dog sitting services, my house and yard is fully secured. I am also happy to come to your home to watch your pet there if preferred! I understand that leaving your beloved dog with a new person can be difficult at times, and would be happy to answer any additional questions you may have.

Brady and his girlfriend took great care of our labradoodle, Baloo, this past weekend when we were out of town. Brady sent us updates with the fun things they'd been up to each day and it helped us enjoy our trip knowing that our pup was having a great weekend too. When our return flight got delayed, Brady was very flexible and understanding; we were grateful to him for dropping Baloo off at our house so he was home to greet us when we arrived past midnight. We highly recommend Brady and we will reach out to him again in the future when we need a sitter for Baloo.

I have a high drive, high energy dog, Popeye. I was very worried about finding a reliable sitter that would understand my dog. I put a lot of time and money into training Popeye and it is important to me that his training does not go out the window when he stays with a sitter. Brady and his girlfriend were very accommodating from the meet and greet to the stay, itself. It was very clear from the beginning that they both have a solid understanding of dog behavior and what they were in for when it came to caring for Popeye. Popeye spent a day with Brady (daycare). He got a 3 mile walk and he got to play some ball, 2 of his favorite activities. When I returned to pick Popeye up, he was a happy boy and he clearly felt right at home at Brady's house. I would highly recommend Brady to any dog owner looking for a responsible, caring sitter. I would especially recommend him for high drive, high energy dogs. I will definitely be using Brady again!

My dog is still young and is very big...Brady did a wonderful job with him. He took him hiking and kept him busy! I got daily updates and reports. It was so nice to know that my dog was well taken care of while I was out of town.

Brady really knows how to care for dogs. Sam, our Brittany, was treated to walks and play time. Brady was careful to make sure that Sam was not stressed. He also kept us informed of how and what Sam was doing each day. I think we have found the perfect sitter for Sam. Thanks so much, Brady!

Information Brady R. would like to know about your pet

I know all dogs are unique so any information you can provide is always helpful! Does your dog have a special diet? Does your dog enjoy playing around with other dogs at the park or does she prefer to spend her time solo? How does your dog do on the leash? Anything you can tell me about your dog that might make our visit even more fun would be great!

A typical day

I live in a great neighborhood where there are multiple fenced in dog parks an easy walk away. I also am a very active person who loves to spend time hiking in the beautiful Santa Cruz Mountains or walking along West Cliff Drive. For dogs who like to go on trips and meeting other pups, I love taking them out to a local brewery or to the dog beach. Evenings around my home are pretty mellow - after your dog has dinner, I usually find a basketball or baseball game to put on TV and relax!
