Information Brady S. would like to know about your pet

When I meet a new client and their dog, there are some questions I like to ask before the stay. I believe that having a thorough conversation about your pet's history, behavior, temperament, level of socialization, and individual quirks, will ensure that I am a great match for you and your dog. All of the questions I ask at a meet-and-greet are aimed at giving me the best, overall picture of your pet's personality, and will provide me with the information I need to provide top quality care and a worry-free visit. Also, all breeds are welcomed. Whether you have a teacup Yorkie, or an over-sized Great Dane that thinks they are a lap dog, all doggie visitors will feel at home! While I don't have any breed preferences, I do have a slight location preference. Some typical questions I will ask at a meet-and-greet are: -How long have you had your pet? Please give me a brief history of your relationship together. -Does your pet have any medical issues or special care instructions? -How often does your pet interact with other dogs? Please describe those interactions. -Does your pet pull on the leash? Do they lunge at other pedestrians during walks, or try to chase after cats, cars, squirrels, etc.? -What are your pet's favorite games to play/treats to eat? -How many times a day are they fed & how much for each serving? -Does your pet get along with children? I do not have any children, but kids love to play with animals and I wouldn't want any mishaps on my walks with your dog. -Is your pet housebroken? The meet-and-greet is a great time to discuss your dog's care and address any of your concerns, so please come prepared with any questions you might have for me! Please share anything else you find valuable and important. I will provide a free bathing if your dog stays 12+ days (As long as your baby, will allow me to safely bathe them).

A typical day

Usually I take my dogs to the places they’re familiar with, designated by the owner. I’m happy to take the dogs to nearby parks or trails that the owner knows and specifies.

Pet care experience

Hi, I’m Brady. Thanks for checking out my page :) I have been on Rover as a dog sitter for about 9 years, sometimes full time and sometimes part time, I really feel deeply protective of dogs, as well as cats and and really just love them. I always seek to create a calm and safe environment for all the pets I watch. I really enjoy working with new people as well, meeting new pet owners and their pets. I am a Ballroom dance instructor and work 3pm- 9pm Monday-Friday now so if your pet can’t be left for 6 hours then then it’s not a good fit. That being said, I don’t leave the house much, I don’t usually leave the pets I’m watching for very long and many days I don’t leave at all. I feel and have reports that I have a calm and nurturing energy, which helps dogs feel settled, especially those who are shy, anxious, or sensitive. I move at your dog’s pace and focus on building trust, comfort, and consistency. Belly rubs, gentle affection, structured routines, and quiet companionship are always part of the my experience. Let’s chat. I can’t wait to meet you and your pup! :)

Brady was a wonderful dog/cat/house sitter, we would absolutely trust him to care for our critters again. Everything went super smoothly, I loved getting some pictures and videos of our buds while we were away. Thanks Brady!

My pup is picky about who he does and does not like but he loved Brady right away! Brady is not only a dog whisperer but also a great communicator! He texted me back quickly anytime i texted him while we were gone. Thanks Brady

Brady is the best. It's such a relief to know my two dogs are in such good hands when I'm out of town. Would highly recommend!
