Lifelong lover of Dogs & Cats
Pet care experience
I have had a dog in my life since I was a baby. I enjoy being around animals, walking, and playing with them. I am a HUGE Dog lover (cats too, but dogs are my passion)! I have a special way with them and love being around them. My last two dogs (Black Lab and a Dane mix) each lived to be 17 and 16 respectively and were my pride and joy. One of them was a ferocious handful, and after extensive work with the world-famous "Dog Whisperer", I managed to turn her into the "little Buddha" I always knew she was. That's why I LOVE walking dogs for folks who don't have the time every day. I can help you, and I get to spend some quality time giving TLC to your much deserved 4-legged. Currently in DTLA. In addition to walks, I also do dinner time, in-home check-ins and play time, special needs for older pets, and overnights. I work with every type of dog from large imposing shepherds and pitbulls (love Pibbles!) to small "scaredy-dogs" like Chihuahua's. Contact me for rates and details. I'm also an amateur photographer and love taking pictures of pets - so you should expect some rock-star shots (see profile photos) of your pets during my visits!
Reviews
Layla took an immediate liking to Tad, making this so easy to be comfortable with.
Punctual, kind and super patient with my puppy. Extremely accommodating as well. Will absolutely work with Tad again!
Tad Is amazingly accommodating :) would highly recommend for a hassle free, worry free drop in visit for kit cats! This is the second time Tad has watched over my cat and has consistently been communicative and caring !
Tad cat sat for us before and every time, his care is just phenomenal! He goes above and beyond and you can really tell that he truly cares about the animals. One of our cats had decided to eat several feet of some sort of string while we were gone, which is really dangerous (we still don't know where it came from), and Tad handled the situation perfectly - checking in on the cat and caring for him while he obviously didn't feel well. Plus, Tad sent us daily pictures of the cats - some of the best ones we have of them! I highly recommend Tad for cat care and would definitely book again!

Skills
Safety, trust & environment
I care for pets as if they are my own - but by the OWNER'S standards and rules. I am extremely detailed when it comes to any doors always being closed fully and locked. And I recently had to run a dog to the vet while it's parents were at work.
Information Tad C. would like to know about your pet
Mainly, what the dog loves to do and where they love to go. Re: Preferences. In LA, the walking service that I used to work with, specifically paired me with all their pit-bulls, and large, imposing breeds, due to my work with Cesar Millan and my understanding of their temperaments and need for powerful, yet calm guidance. Having said that, I really love all dogs and have no particular preference.
A typical day
Play fetch. I love a brisk walk with big dogs - they usually need it as much as i do. Go to the dog park. Massage / T-Touch. Just good Old-Fashioned affectionate pets. IF there's a non-dog park green space outside, I'll walk them there so that they can relax under a tree on the grass and play (on leash of course).
Services
Tad can watch in your home
Availability
I primarily work from home. I have a few weekly walks in other neighborhoods besides DTLA, but can usually be flexible with just about any time of day for a walk etc.
