About: I provide attentive care for young pets with supervision and play, and gentle, patient care for senior pets, including routines, medications, and comfort. I’ve cared for my childhood dog through her senior years, which taught me patience, consistency, and dedication. Pet care would fit into my routine by making it a priority alongside my part-time job. I’d make sure to set aside time each day for feeding, walks, play, and check-ins so pets get consistent care and attention. I’m flexible and willing to adjust my schedule to meet each pet’s needs, especially for senior dogs who may need extra care. I provide care based on each pet’s normal routine to keep them comfortable and stress-free. In a client’s home, I follow their instructions closely—feeding, walks, playtime, cleaning up, and making sure pets feel safe in their own environment. In my home, I create a calm, clean space with plenty of attention, supervision, and structured care. I’m especially mindful of senior pets, making sure they stay comfortable, stick to routines, and get any needed medications.
“Bradley was so great with our dogs! He took time to meet them, which was important, because Max isn’t good with strangers. He was kind to Apollo, who is old. We will definitely ask him to come again!”

Sumter dog parents share their Rover experiences
BETHANY WAS AWESOME!!! She was on time and very attentive. She communicated daily with each visit and included pictures. She went above and beyond to care for lacy and our home, she did everything that was asked and then some. She's an awesome sitter and we'd highly recommend her.
Robert continues to be an exceptional sitter, and this visit was a perfect example of why we trust him with our pets. What could have been a very stressful stay included both a dog escape and a cat scratch, yet Robert handled everything calmly, professionally, and with grace. His communication throughout the entire situation was outstanding. He kept us informed, acted quickly when our dog made an unexpected adventure out of the yard, and managed the challenges without ever making us feel panicked. He was transparent, responsible, and focused on keeping everyone safe. Things don’t always go according to plan when caring for animals, and it’s during those moments that a sitter’s character really shows. Robert demonstrated exactly the kind of judgment, reliability, and dedication we look for. We’re grateful for the care he provided and wouldn’t hesitate to book with him again.
