Highlights
Pet care experience
Glad Dogs & Purrfectly Happy Pets!
I have over 17 years experience of in-home dog-sitting and dog-walking, most of that in the SF Bay Area since I moved to California from England, UK in the early 2000s. I have looked after many different breeds of dogs: large and small, young and old while working for a professional pet-sitting business based in Marin from 2008 to 2015 and 2021 to 2022. My experience included extended periods of in-home care while owners were away, and also daily dog-walks. We’ve had a pets in my household for most of my life including dogs, cats, rabbits and other smaller critters! I’ve looked after all of the above as a petsitter including many cats! All pets have their unique personalities and i enjoy getting to know them to make sure they will be happy and healthy in my care.
Qualifications
Safety, trust & environment
I recommend an initial meet and greet to get to know the set up at your home and/or follow along on a typical local walk.
Ratings and reviews
I feel so comfortable leaving my animals with Theo. He cared for my rabbit and guinea pig, so in addition to dog/cat experience he can also care for small exotics. He has fantastic communication skills so I never had to worry or wonder how my animals were doing. He is responsible, efficient, and reliable. He's the best! Couldn't recommend him more!
Theo was did a great job for us for a week long stay with our very energetic dog. The dog had a recovering foot injury making the job even more complicated. Theo even went to the vet with him to make sure all was healing correctly.
Theo stayed overnight with my dog, 2 cats, and dwarf hamster for 5 days, and I have only good things to say. When he came over beforehand to meet my animals, he was careful and gentle with them, and they took to him right away. I left a lot of directions to be followed for their care, and Theo did a wonderful job. I asked for updates while I was away, and he provided very good ones, putting my mind at ease throughout my trip. When I returned home, my house, plants and animals all looked great. I didn't have one moment of concern. I'd highly recommend hiring Theo!
Theo was an excellent cat sitter for our 3 kitties. We needed to find someone last minute over a holiday weekend and he did such a wonderful job. He sent pictures throughout the stay and was very communicative. We also have an elderly cat who has some health issues and he was very attentive to him. He also left our home spotless and even cleaned our sheets. He went above and beyond for us. We’ll definitely use Theo in the future.
Theo used to walk our dog Whistler and it was very positive for the humans and our dog. He was very conscientious and great at communicating how the dog walking went that day. I would definitely recommend Theo for any dog walking needs.
We have used Theo many times as a dog sitter. My two dogs absolutely love him. When I would return from a trip, I could tell that they were well taken care of and given lots of love and affection in my absence. Theo also did a great job caring for our plants and home while we were away. He is friendly and a good communicator.
