Thom H.
Fur-Friendly and Fun-Approved
Pet care experience
Hello ! I'm Thom, a lifetime dog lover who loves being around dogs and would like to befriend yours as well. Having grown up with & been owner to dogs my entire life of 30-something years, I know the joy and contentment a dog brings to your life and how important your dog is to you. My goal is to be a partner & friend to you and your dog so that they can be the happiest they can be. I understand very well the high demands on your time and how difficult it is to part with your pet - whether it be for a long day of work, a business trip or a much needed vacation. Lets face it, we would love to bring our dogs everywhere we go, but not all breeds are made for traveling and even dog-parents need a vacation from parenting every so often ! I am available for visits and walks with your dog usually in the afternoons / evenings. I am available for house sitting as well. Dogs are a passion of mine and nothing makes me happier than spending time with a furry friend. I will treat your dog with the care, friendliness and attention as if they were my own. Among friends, I have been their trusted go-to for taking care of their dog when they travel. I take care to befriend your dog so I am not just another stranger walking or sitting with them but someone that they look forward to play and relax with. After all, when your dog is happy, you can relax and enjoy more the time you do get to spend with them.
Reviews
I am so thankful for Thom! Apollo is generally pretty indifferent to people and difficult to get moving on walks consistently. However, after just one walk with Thom he was so excited to see him again this week and they walked surprisingly far together!
Thom was so great! Very communicative and made it over a mile with my stubborn dog which is just so appreciated. He even got tail wags which I know is a huge sign of approval for Apollo. Thank you again!
Thom was great with Bart and an excellent sitter while I was out of town. He sent photos and communicated often throughout the booking. I am already planning another booking with Thom.

Information Thom H. would like to know about your pet
I dont have any preferences - but of course I have my favorite (eh-hem Boston Terriers). I can get along with any breed. I want to know what their usual routine is, what toys and treats are their favorites, what are their usual commands, and what are their triggers or things you avoid so they can be happy and comfortable when we spend time together.
A typical day
We'll go on brisk walks along the neighborhood streets, and to the dog parks to play and get plenty of exercise. If you have a fenced in yard, even better as we can play fetch and chase each other around until its time for our favourite activity : siesta time ! I learned in Spain how to do a mean siesta, and I think your dog will love it too ! I can follow your usual routine as well, so let me know what activities make your dog happiest.
