Dogs’ Best Friend!

Pet care experience

COVID-19 CRISIS Update: I'm still working, healthy, and available to care for your pets during the current crisis. Please, keep me in mind if you need any help providing for your furrier family members... And, of course, all my long-term rates are negotiable in light of these ruff, ruff times... Before-times Bio: I’m a long-time pet owner (20 years), with many years experience caring for and being around pets. From cats to dogs, from horses to parakeets, I love the experience of providing for animals! I’ve loved animals my entire life, and nothing brings me more joy than playing with and protecting these little, four-legged companions... they each deserve to feel happy, loved, and safe their entire lives, and I can think of no greater honor than providing this for your furry buddies! I know that asking for a stranger’s help with your pet(s) can be stressful, so I know this isn’t a choice you make lightly... with me, you’re making the right choice. Please consider me when choosing your next pet’s provider of care! Look forward to meeting your furrier family members!

I have had the pleasure of knowing Thom for almost ten years and over that period of time I watched him take such great care of his wonderful dog. Chloe was not the most low maintenance canine and Thom was always very sensitive to her needs. Whether she needed carried because her hips were in pain or snuggled because she was meeting new people, and everything in between, Thom always willingly provided the care that was needed. I know Thom would put the same passion, thoughtfulness and knowledge in to helping others take care of their furry family members. He is a passionate, thoughtful and knowledgeable individual with years and years of pet care experience.

Thom is one of the most amazing human beings I know. I’ve seen him around pets, and he is capable of providing immense love and excellent care, from bathing the pet to administering medicines. For years, he carried his old dog with arthritis up and down the stairs, 4-5 times a day, and did anything humanly possible till his dog’s last moments. I would never hesitate to leave any pet with him, because I know they will be treated like royalty… well, maybe it is not good to leave a pet for too long with him, because they might end up preferring him instead of the actual owner. 😉

Thom is one of the best and most caring people I know, and he’ll treat your dog the same :) My friend is gentle, attentive, and loves puppers :) I saw him care for his pup, Chloe, after he rescued her from a bad situation, and Chloe absolutely thrived and lived her best life! She loved him, he loved her, and they were inseparable :) My friend Thom has a lot of love and care to give, and I know your puppers would be happy and lucky to have him, and he’d be lucky to know them as well. You can’t do any better than Thom to care for your pups. Love this guy!
